laayout sheet name not in PDF output name

Using someone elses template. When I plot to PDF the layout sheet name is not the PDF plot file name, it uses the drawing file name (and hence the same file name for all plots, not what I want). When I plot in paper space, my layout sheet name is the output file name, is there a way to change this?

Thank You

Your question only hints at it, but I am guessing you are plotting from modelspace without using a named layout.

sorry...yes I plot from Paper space. And I am using someone elses layout. Normaly when I plot from paperspace, my layout sheet name is the output file name. But for some reason when I plot from paperspace in the clients file it plots the file name to output and not the layout sheet name. I have never encountered this before.

Well, OK. Now I am as mystified as you are. My only suggestion isn't it.

I set this stuff up so long ago I can't remember what controls that. I'll have to research it a bit. It's late here so it may be tomorrow. Maybe someone just waking up down under knows the answer off the top of their heads?

thanks...def wierd... Ghosts in the machine!!!!

I've noticed that publishing via the sheet set manager uses the layout name.

Publishing directly from the publish dialogue uses the drawing name - then the layout name.

Could this be what you are seeing?

only the file or drawing name shows up. The same file/drawing name for every layout sheet plot. It acts like it is plotting in model space.
