JoeC Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 ...and why are they filling up my printer/plotter drop-down menu? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Per AutoDesk... "A plotter configuration file, or PC3 file, enables you to easily configure a plotter and to save the settings for later use." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Did you receive a drawing from an outside source (maybe a client, vendor or a frim you are doing a joint project with)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeC Posted July 14, 2009 Author Share Posted July 14, 2009 Yes. Most of our drawings originate from our customers. Do I need to delete the pc3 files that do not relate to my plotters? I am gaining more of these files with each month! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 I don't see the harm in deleting pc3 files that do not correspond to the printers available to you. However, once you get these files, do you edit them and then send them back to the customer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeC Posted July 14, 2009 Author Share Posted July 14, 2009 Yes. We always resubmit the files back and forth to the customer multiple times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Do you think they'll notice the missing pc3 references? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeC Posted July 14, 2009 Author Share Posted July 14, 2009 Probably not. While some of our customers are very familiar with Autocad, many of them only know how to open and view layouts. I doubt that it will cause any grief! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeC Posted July 14, 2009 Author Share Posted July 14, 2009 I learned another new thing today. In case anyone is interested - PLOTTERMANAGER opens the directory where all of these annoying .pc3 files live. They are easily deleted here.
