Publishing To PDF File Names

[Justin_B]

Hi Guys,

 

Just wanting to know when I publish to PDF, CAD automatically names the PDF file as the drawing name and then the tab name eg, Radome Lighting Mounts - 22-095 with the Radome Lighting Mounts being the drawing name and 22-095 being the name of the layout tab. My question is, are you able to reverse this so that the file name of the PDF reads 22-095 - Radome Lighting Mounts?

Not sure about publish but definately with lisp you can decide what the filename is to be lots of posted code for this search for "PDF"

Thanks Bigal, but unfortunately I'm running LT and don't think you can run lisp with it, but I could be wrong.

I don't see how this can be done with the default Autocad PDF Printer. There is no such option in the Plot and Publish tab of Autocad Option and the DWG-to-PDF printer properties. The solution may lies with Auto or Visual Lisp application or in your case a CAD-specific PDF Printer with such additional option.
