    Default turn off Layout Tab text when plotting

    I use BlueBeam to plot to PDF. The problem is that the file name includes whatever is on the Layout Tab. Is there a way to plot without the Tab text? I tried turning the Model and Layout tabs off but that doesn't work.
    Thank you

    I suspect that would be a function of bluebeam.

    Type bsiSet at the command line to bring up the Bluebeam plugin configuration tool. On the General tab, in the What to Plot section, click the Configure button and deselect the Append Layout Name checkbox.

    I did as you suggested and I see that Append Layout Name IS deselected BUT I still get the layout data as part of the file name

    Its a simple toggle. If its not working, I'm not sure what to tell you, other than to contact Bluebeam support. If you are plotting from a pc3 file made from the Bluebeam driver, you might try recreating the pc3 file. But it should work if you plot from the Bluebeam panel on the Output ribbon tab.
