Save as PDF - specify location

Typically I plot to postscript and use a script in the plotting to convert it to a PDF using ghostscript.

The problem is I have that configured to do black and white only.

I have a case where we have some draft features on a drawing that have a hatch fill with various colors.

I can use save as pdf to generate a color pdf. No problems there, but the file ends up in the working directory not the plot files directory.

Anyone know how to specify the directory the file is placed in when it makes it?

Have you tried to set working directory to the plot directory?

You could  create another .pcf and specify the plotter = colorpostsc.
