Try doing a Save As in the properties dialog,
and then import that resultant PMP file.

Hi

Please note I've *moved* this thread from the AutoCAD Customization (http://forums.augi.com/forumdisplay.php?f=118) Forum to this one as I feel this particular Forum is a more appropriate place for such a topic.

Thanks, Mike

Hi

What version of AutoCAD are you running?

What plot device are you having the problem with?

Is the PC3 file for the plot device, setup using a Windows System printer Driver or a Heidi Driver?

What Operating System are you running on?

Have a good one, Mike

I just installed ACAD 2005 and I am trying to customize our HP DesignJet 1050C plus. My operating system is windows 2000
I save the changes to the pc3 file but the changes don't happen. after I save over the existing file.
Thanks
Mathew

Try using save as....and save it with a unique name
then you can try importing those settings
and see if they are applied, if so use explorer and
force the rename there.
