Sheet Set and missing PC3 file

[Rico]

If I was, hypothetically, to create a sheet set and transmit it to another firm, would there or rather should there be any problem with plotting?

I ask because a co-worker was sent a file that was quite obviously made with a sheet set. When he tries to print using our company default plot settings he gets an error message about a missing .pc3 file.

any ideas on how he might be able to print this document? i.e.: get around this issue?

Hi Rico

Please note I have *moved* this thread from the AutoCAD General (http://forums.augi.com/forumdisplay.php?f=120) forum to this one, as I feel this particular forum is a more appropriate place for such a topic.

Thanks, Mike

OR

Look at creating or importing a PageSetup that works correctly at your end, then applying it to all relevant drawing file Layouts.

OR

Take a look at system variable PlQuiet.

Have a good one, Mike
