Hi I am using Autocad 2014 API

while developing Autocad application i am getting some errors

while assign plotter value (HybridConverter.pc3)to comfigname getting invalid input error message .please help on that

Please see the below VB.Net Code

Dim rasterObj As Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop.Common.IAcadEntity

Dim Layout As Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop.Common.AcadLayout

Dim l_SheetCount As Integer

Dim NewFile, codespot As String

Dim i As Integer

Dim resume2 As Boolean = True

Try

codespot = "SAP 1"

NewFile = "monochrome.ctb"

l_SheetCount = CInt(clsVariable.DrawingSheet)

codespot = "SAP 2"

Layout = Acad.ActiveDocument.ModelSpace.Layout

codespot = "SAP 3"

rasterObj = Layout.Block.Item(l_SheetCount - 1)

If Not (Layout.CanonicalMediaName = "ANSI_E_(44.00_x_34.00_Inches)") Then

Layout.CanonicalMediaName = "ANSI_E_(44.00_x_34.00_Inches)"

End If

Layout.PlotRotation = Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop.Common.AcPlotRotation.ac0degrees

codespot = "SAP 5"

If Not (Layout.StyleSheet = NewFile) Then

Layout.StyleSheet = NewFile

If Not (Layout.StyleSheet = NewFile) Then ''if the style sheet can't be set, use none

Layout.StyleSheet = ""

End If

codespot = "SAP 6"

Layout.PaperUnits = Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop.Common.AcPlotPaperUnits.acInches

codespot = "SAP 7"

Layout.StandardScale = Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop.Common.AcPlotScale.acScaleToFit

codespot = "SAP 8"

i = 0

'Layout = Acad.ActiveDocument.Layers.Add("Junk") 'commented prasad

Acad.ActiveDocument.Layers.Add("Junk")

'Set the layer named "Junk" the active layer for the current document

Acad.ActiveDocument.ActiveLayer = Acad.ActiveDocument.Layers.Item("Junk")

Acad.ActiveDocument.ActiveLayout.PlotType = Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop.Common.AcPlotType.acExtents

Acad.ActiveDocument.ModelSpace.Layout.ConfigName = "HybridConverter.pc3" --Getting Error in this line

''Acad.ActiveDocument.Regen acActiveViewport

Acad.ActiveDocument.ModelSpace.Layout.RefreshPlotDeviceInfo()

Acad.ActiveDocument.ActiveLayer = Acad.ActiveDocument.Layers.Item("0")

Layout = Acad.ActiveDocument.Layers.Item("Junk")

Layout.Delete()

codespot = "SAP 9"

Application.DoEvents()

Acad.Update()
