Batch plotting has worked fine, but, about two weeks ago, started loosing specifications. Able to create new specifications, but they will only work for that session in Microstation. I'm at a complete loss. Any ideas to fix problem would be appreciated. Thanks.

I set batchplt.spc to read-only for this very purpose. I generally define ALL necessary printers and then set the file to read-only so that users don't make permanent shanges to the file. Temporary changes are sill possible to allow knowledgeable users to make special configuration.

My "data" folder (under "C:\Program Files\Bentley\Workspace\System") is set to "Read-only," and I can't change it at my level; however, I'm not even sure if this has anything to do with it, considering that RG is saying that he specifically sets his batchplt.spc to "Read-only."
Anyway, I heard that these batchplot files do get corrupt from time to time, so I'm going to try starting over with (what I think is) a fresh, out-of-the-box copy of batchplt.spc, which a survey guy here gave me, who doesn't use batch plotting in V8, at all. So...I'm hoping.
I also heard that V8i has done away with batch plotting, so this problem will become moot for me in a couple of weeks, since our office is moving to V8i from V8. Still, I have a project to plot in the meanwhile, so batchplotting would be nice.
I'm sorry that I took so long to get back here, but you know how it can get at work :-)
