Saving AutoCAD Plot Files to ProjectWise

ProjectWise integration lets you save the plot file to ProjectWise when the Plot to file option is on in the Plot dialog.

Open an AutoCAD document stored in ProjectWise.
Select the layout you want to plot.
Select one of the following:
- Command: PLOT
- Menu: File > Plot
In the Plot dialog:
1. In the Printer/Plotter section, select your plotter.
2. Make sure Plot to file is on. If it is not on, click Properties and turn on Plot to File on the Ports tab of the Plotter Configuration Editor dialog.
3. Click OK.
Use the Save Document As dialog or Advanced Document Creation Wizard as needed to create a new document.
(If the Select a Wizard dialog opens, select No Wizard to open the Save Document As dialog, or select Advanced Wizard to open the Advanced Document Creation Wizard.)

The plot file is created and saved to the selected ProjectWise folder.

Disable / re-enable plotting integration

The PLOTTINGMODE variable lets you disable plotting integration. This can be useful to allow third party tools to perform their own plotting processing, such as batch plot.

To disable plotting integration, enter:

DMSSET
PLOTTINGMODE
0

To re-enable plotting integration, enter:

DMSSET
PLOTTINGMODE
