    Summary: I wish that the Print as PDF functionnality would remember the saved path of the PDF file output for every layout in the drawing.

    Description: I wish that the Print as PDF functionnality would remember the saved path of the PDF file output for every layout in the drawing. That info would also be saved with the drawing and would carry on even if the drawing is closed and re-opened later.

    More power on the behaviors of this tool please.

    It's a mess that's driven every user crazy forever and I'll be voting for it after I finish this post. Sadly I couldn't find it in the AutoCAD Wish List
    Why would anyone want to use the previous path used to output a different drawing in another folder?
    I've worked around it using code from ronjonp found at http://www.theswamp.org/index.php?to...2985#msg502985
    and https://www.cadtutor.net/forum/topic...comment-548607
    and https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/visua...831049#M406719

    I added the line (load "rjp-currentpath.lsp") in my acaddoc.lsp file.
