    Default Is there a plot log generated when I print?

    and can I get to it?

    I know that I can print to dwf or pdf and get a plot log, but is there one created directly out of revit. This will be used to program plot billing...

    I searched, but haven't found much. dwfs typically do not work for us. I don't want a 3rd party tracker like Technesis (don't even get me started.)

    Any help would be great!

    Thanks!

    As windows controls the printer output, I got a feeling that unless your printer driver(s) does not offer the service as dwf and pdf do, you'll have to use an add on app like this.

    The best way to do it (IMO) is to scan all postscript files and generate a log from there. These things will prompt you for a project number.

    The Print Audit software looks very good. I failed to mention this would be for all cost recovery of print services, not just Revit.

    Thank You for the suggestions.
