https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Documentation/Plotmaker-and-templates/m-p/86019#M13890 Thanks Weston for the link. That solved the problem for plotmaker templates (pity you can only have one file though).<BR /> <BR /> But does anyone have a solution for the BOOKNAME problem. I know that with V8.1R2 you can specify weather or not the drawing name has an extension but it would be great if you could do the same with the bookname. So that if we name our layout books in accordance with the projects stage (eg Preliminary Construction Issue) then that can be incorporated into our master layouts.

Also is it possible to insert autotext for the BOOKNAME and not include the file extension .lbk. Thanks all in advance for all you assistance.</T></DIV> Fri, 26 May 2023 00:38:33 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Documentation/Plotmaker-and-templates/m-p/86017#M13888 Anonymous 2023-05-26T00:38:33Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Documentation/Plotmaker-and-templates/m-p/86018#M13889 <A href="http://archicad-talk.graphisoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=2389" target="_blank"><LINK_TEXT text="http://archicad-talk.graphisoft.com/vie ... php?t=2389">http://archicad-talk.graphisoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=2389</LINK_TEXT></A><BR /> <BR /> try the seach features to find further discussion on this topic - its been brought up before Wed, 21 Jul 2004 19:39:34 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Documentation/Plotmaker-and-templates/m-p/86018#M13889 Anonymous 2004-07-21T19:39:34Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Documentation/Plotmaker-and-templates/m-p/86019#M13890 Thanks Weston for the link.
