I made the disastrous(and dumb) choice to upgrade from 22.01.12 to 22.01.14.02 in the middle of a project, and of course, the old and familiar (and simple to me) way to batch plot to a PDF has been CHANGED, and the new way, locks up the entire system.

I've always made a go-to-view file (PLOT), then went to Quick Layout, then to Batch Prn, selected PDF and the destination folder, and plotted the PDF with NO problems whatsoever; for years! I'm old, and don't like change, but here it is.

Can anyone tell me how to simply and quickly plot to PDF?

There should be a 22.01.12 folder in your C:\DataCAD 22\zUpdated folder. You can copy the DCADWIN.exe file from this folder into the C:\DataCAD 22 folder which will effectively roll-back your version of DataCAD. You don't need the DCADWIN.ini or Support Files folder, just the DCADWIN.exe.

Thanks for the save! I do have a question, will that roll-back ALL the updates or just the plotting issue? If it just resolves the plotting issue that'll be great, but if it rolls-back the entire update, then why the update in the first place?
