    Default Option to open AutoCAD print dialog when running PUBLISH

    Summary: When running the publish command, an option to open the AutoCAD print dialog box to make changes to printer location and pen settings.

    Description: When publishing to a printer the ACAD print window should open to allow for setting a new printer location and pen settings. Currently it prints to the last uset printer and does not allow for changes.

    How Used: In the Publish Dialog Box the printer page setup works fine, but default printing is to the last printer used. I would like to see the option to open ACAD's Plot window and allow you to over ride any printer settings with it, in addition to the page setup that could also be accessed through this window.

    I don't see a need for this.
    This is why you have page setups. You can import them into the publish dialog, and you can apply a pagesetup override without even going throught the dialog.

    I agree with R.K. You have the ability to assign whatever page setup you want in the publish dialog. You can import the page setup from a DWG or DWT. We save our page setups in a DWT file and we can import them into any publish job.
