PLOTTER System Variable

Type: Integer
Saved in:Config
Initial value:0


Changes the default plotter, based on its assigned integer, and retains an integer number that AutoCAD LT assigns for each configured plotter. This number can be in the range of 0 up to the number of configured plotters. You may configure up to 29 plotters. Change to another configured plotter by entering its valid, assigned number. For example, if you configured four plotters, the valid numbers are 0 through 3.

Note: AutoCAD LT does not permanently assign a number to a given plotter. If you delete a plotter configuration, AutoCAD LT assigns new numbers to each of the configured plotters. AutoCAD LT also updates the value of PLOTTER.

Applications can use PLOTTER to step through the available plotter descriptions retained by PLOTID and thus control the default plotter.
