Problem Description

When I use as Bentley Printer Driver Configuration file I want to be able to save my plot ready file to the same directory as the design file.

Steps to Resolve

To modify a .plt?

Open your .plt with Notepad
Modify your 'default_outFile' record to read:
default_outFile/auto_overwrite = "$(noext(_DGNFILE))"
Please note that if the auto_overwrite option is used and a file with the specified name already exists, the file is overwritten by the new print file without confirmation.

To modify your .pltcfg

Select File->Edit printer Driver Configuration
Select the "Base Properties" tab
Expand "Default print File Name"
Look for "File Name". Enter $(noext(_DGNFILE))
Please note that if the "Auto Overwrite File" is set to True and a file with the specified name already exists, the file is overwritten by the new print file without confirmation.
