A couple of things I've been meaning to post but I've been away from the site too long. First of all Happy New Year to all!!
1) if I run the plot to file routine after I have manually plotted some files, to overwrite them, the system actually ends up with 2 plt files of the same name, the only way to tell them apart is from the date stamp. nAny thoughts on why this would occur?
2) I would like to set up to plot to a specific directory and I can't seem to get it quite right. I generally plot to a new subdirectory, using the date as the name, within a project and would love to be able to generate that folder and make it the deposit area for the plots upon each plot run. May be a bit much to ask but it is a mundane chore to move the plt files out of the drawing directory each time into a folder that I end up creating. Example C:_CADPROJECTNAMEPlotPltCURRENTDATE, if I could generate the "CURRENTDATE" folder, all others are templates to a project folder.

Thanks for listening..err reading
Stan

Hi Stan,

Did you get things going the way you like?

It would be good to hear back from you to know everything worked out (or not!)

Regards,
Bill

Your answer to #2 is closer than you may think

Instead of your C:_CADPROJECTNAMEPlotPltCURRENTDATE

Try $FILEDRIVE+1PlotPlt$MM$-$DD$-$YY$

Those are Hurricane's DYNAMIC TAGS

You could even take it a step further and incorporate some project specific information

Try $FILEDRIVE+1PlotPlt$MM$-$DD$-$YY$_$PROJECTTAG1$

Im not sure what version you are running, but the latest one as of this post is at the link below.
