Creating and Using a Complete Plot Configuration (PC2) File

You can create and save the current plot configuration directly to a complete plot configuration file. Complete plot configurations are saved with the .pc2 file extension. When you save the PC2 file, it copies the plotter configuration information in one section of aclt4.cfg to a separate PC2 file.

You can also create PC2 files by choosing the Printer tab in the Preferences dialog box. Choose Save to save the current configuration to a PC2 file. The PC2 file configuration information is added to the aclt4.cfg file.

You can use the configuration stored in a specific complete plot configuration (PC2) file whenever you plot a drawing. If you open a PC2 file by using the Print / Plot Setup and Default Selection dialog box, AutoCAD LT replaces your entire current plot configuration. If you open a PC2 file by choosing the Printer tab in the Preferences dialog box, AutoCAD LT adds the configuration stored in the PC2 file to the list of configurations in aclt4.cfg. Loading the PC2 file from the Printer tab does not replace the current configuration.
