Published file names not updating

[Haneef Tayob]

Hello
Currently when I publish a layout called say "B2-02 Stairs" from Plotmaker to say PDF, the name of the published file is named eg. "B2-02 Stairs.pdf"

If I then do a revision to the drawing and rename the layout to "B2-02 Stairs rev1", the published file name remains "B2-02 Stairs.pdf" and not "B2-02 Stairs rev1.pdf" as I hope.

Is there a way to allow the published file name to update to the revised layout name without having to remove and then re-drag it into the publish set.

Thanks

Looks like not.

Check your Publisher set; the names of the layouts in the Publisher list are what the names of the published PDFs will be.

Checked that. Am I missing something?

I've attached a screen shot to further explain the problem.
As a workaround, I've been deleting & then re-inserting the layout. This is not such a problem for pdf conversions, but conversions to autocad become an issue as I've got different publishing options for different drawings.

The publisher does this pretty consistantly. I believe it's meant to work with PMK's to prevent renaming views from messing with views placed into Plotmaker. I suspect this crept into DWG, PDF, and other formats as well.
