Print Previous

[omorah]

I thought it would be a simple line to write (for me that is).

I would like to create a two buttons to add to my personal toolbar:

"Print Previous" and another bottun to
"Print Previous, Apply To Layout & Print"

Am on AutoCAD 2010 & 2011

Thanks

Have you tried the action recorder? I would think this would work for your situation.

What I did was use the plot command and made sure all of my settings were correct- then clicked the "apply to layout" button. Then i used "-plot" to run the plot command through the command line- and then pulled all of the settings i had set the first time when i hit "apply to layout". when it asks "Detailed plot configuration?", enter Y for yes and then it will show you all of the different things you set the first time through. Then by using those settings in a lisp routine- you can accomplish what you're trying to do.
I know it's not exactly print previous- but if you print the same every time- that would pretty much be the same. Here's the lisp i wrote- you will need to change the printer, plotstyle, etc...
