Problem

I have over 500 ips files that I need to update the printer they use. Is there a batch function to do this?

Solution

You can do this using the iplotorg.exe command line

iplotorg.exe modify “printer=<new_printer_name> <plotset_filename>

For modifying 500 IPS files they can create a batch file to do this. For example:

set PATH=%PATH%;C:\program files\ProjectWise InterPlot Organizer\bin
cd <directory_containing_IPS_files>
for %%f in (*.ips) do iplotorg.exe modify printer=<new_printer_name> %f
