plot to PDF

Hello, is there any way when you plot to PDF to not get the name to end with –model?

(without changing it by hand )

As far as I know the file name will always end with model if you print from model space and end with the title of the layout sheet if printed from layout space. There doesn't seem to be an option to change the file name within plot. If you were to publish many layouts or drawings there are options to change how the pdf file names are created or whether to include the file name or not.

I manually change mine just as you have indicated. I've yet to figure out a way to drop the "model" reference.

thanks

changeing the name manually on 95 plots is a pain =)

Maybe the job could be handled with a batch script.

Use the Sheet Set Manager. _SSM

While I agree with your suggestion, SSM is not an option while the OP is printing from model space - which I was curious about anyway.....

That part went right by me..I totally read that as -layout.

Open the Layout tab of the view you want to print as a PDF file. > Open the Plot window. > Open the drop down window of the Printer/Plotter name, scroll down to the listing DWG to PDF pc3, select this printer name, close window. In the Plot window select sheet size and scale, > Plot. This will send a PDF of the drawing to My Documents. To send the PDF file in an E-mail. Attach the PDF file to the E-mail. The file will have a PDF extension
