Text Substitutions

Is there a way to put the text substitutions from the pentable into the plot driver so people do not have to worry about attaching the pentable when they plot.

  • Put your pentable in the standards.cfg in workspace\standards so everbody don't have to think about the pentable!!

    And of course use a network path for workspace\standards!!

  • If you only have one pentable you can set this config var

    MS_PLOTDLG_DEF_PENTABLE  = 

    If you have many pentables you could assign a particular pentable to your plt file

    Look for something like this in you plt file, remove the comment (;) in front of pentable the path starts at location defined by MS_PENTABLE:

    ; Substitute the name of a pentable file to be loaded when this driver is selected
    ;pentable=\dir\file.tbl

    Batch printing can have its own pentable
