Posted - December 30 2003 : 2:59:03 PM 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 |

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!)

Posted - December 30 2003 : 3:41:47 PM 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.
