Do you have your PlotMaker preferences set to save your cache with the layout book? Check this in PlotMaker: Options>Preferences>Cache Folder.

If 'Include Cache in Layout Book' is selected, then the imported drawings are stored as part of the Layout Book, which in your case would be good. But if you have 'Save Cache Data into a Folder' selected, then the imported drawings are stored on your hard drive(s) in the folder(s) you designated. Seems like you would know about this though, because the first time you went to another machine, PlotMaker would not have been able to locate the drawings. But who knows?

You can always check where drawings are coming from and their status in Drawing Usage. Have you checked that?

Cheers,

hi link and thx for responding,
i do have both pm's with 'save cache to layout book' option chkd....

i check 'usage dwgs' all the times cuz i have the constant problem of files showing as deleted or being read from drive 'o' (office network) and now in drive 'c' (laptop), so i keep 'redirecting' (i have expertise redirecting by now)
i keep the same folder structure, except for 'drives', just in case but doesnt work (if i could delete the drive, to be read from folder only)
maybe teamwork should be used?? maybe ac has some miscellaneous param to be chkd??..thx again...maybe i should go home and have a break.....not a bad idea btw.
