[PCB_FORUM] Re: Searchable REF DES in PDF output

We experienced this problem several times and it happens when you have the plot 
setups. To fix it you need to delete the .INI and the .Ilinit files located in 
your PCBENV folder. Once you have done this try restarting Allegro and setting 
the plot up again.
