I am now using a network for 10 workstations, 2 plotters, a laser II and a paintjet. I am acquainted with acad.cfg and the fact that one can have multiple acad.cfg's scattered throughout the hard disk. I am now looking at the new Versatec and 10 more workstations on the network (CADNET). The acad.cfg works fine except it is necessary to reenter ACAD each time you want to use a different plotter or printer to access the different acad.cfg. The ability to choose a preinstalled plotter or printer when PLOT or PRPLOT is picked would sure be a nice option. Kind of like Wordstar's Release 4 can select 1 of the preinstalled printers. Any possibility for the wish list? Thanks Dave.
