Hi everyone,
 
I am looking for a way to create different toolbar buttons to execute pre-loaded plot settings.
 
Let's say:
Toolbar button 1 : Canon printer / 8.5x11 / rotate 90
Toolbar button 2 : Canon printer / 11x17 / rotate 0
Toolbar button 3 : HP Laserjet printer / 8.5x11 ......
.....
 
Once I would click a button the drawings would print with the pre-set settings.
 
I've played in the .mnu and .mns files to create my own symbols before but I really don`t have a clue on how to do this this time.
 
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks

You plan on using/running a script for each plot configuration?

hello and thanks for your answer.
 
Humm if it's a script I need to acheive this yes of course I would use one...
 
Is it possible to link the script with a new "custom" toolbar button ?

All the toolbar button would do is "call" the script much like one would from the command line.

The script should mimic exactly what one would type in at the command line if using the command line version of the plot command.
