Type: System file

 

Location:

CADplot can use multiple Substitution.ini files; see Configuration file locations and System file searching. The sub-folder used is:

…\CADplot\Engine

 

Description:

When naming plot files using the drawing title block attributes instead of the drawing filename (e.g. 345m001.dwg to M/001 RevA.plt) you must make sure that the plot file name does not contain any invalid characters such as a /.

 

The substitution.ini will replace any invalid characters found with an alternative. By default invalid characters will be replaced by an _ therefore the example above would become M_001 RevA.plt
