You just have to type in the name that you want it to be. Would be nice though and has been complained about before.<BR /> <BR /> Cheers, Wed, 15 Jul 2015 04:18:47 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Documentation/File-name-saving-PDF-from-Marquee/m-p/282671#M44468 Gerald Hoffman 2015-07-15T04:18:47Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Documentation/File-name-saving-PDF-from-Marquee/m-p/282672#M44469 Thanks Gerald. <BR /> <BR /> I know I should be setting up layouts but sometimes when you want to fire off a few quick marquee prints it would be nice if Archicad would just use the plan name. <BR /> <BR /> I guess this one gets logged alongside AC being able to remember the folder destination to save to when saving projects.
