AutoCAD 2010 :: Can't Work On Computer During PUBLISH LT 2012
May 15, 2013
Don't know if I need to check some other setting or this is just the way it is. When I use PUBLISH to plot a set of drawings, I can't do anything else on the computer. If I try to type in any other software, it is interrupted and the cursor moved away from the software. I am able to type maybe a couple letters in any software, then the cursor goes away, put cursor back, type 2 letters, repeat, interrupt, cursor back, 2 letters etc..
when I trying to publish in single-sheet file. so I type publish on my command bar, then I chose publish to pdf but when i try to click on publish options to set the location where I need to put the pdf files the publish window freeze. same thing when i click on add sheet button.
NOTE: I have this problem especialy when I used AUtoCAD from home. to use AutoCAD from home I made borrow licence.
Publish comment doesn't work correct. Even if I set multi-sheet file and prompt for name, autocad doesn't ask me about file name and makes single sheet files.
There's supposed to be a way to publish a map to DWF and include attribute data from gis feature sources and joins, but I'm not able to get it to work, so perhaps I'm doing something wrong.
I have a map displaying parcels from an SDF connection and have joined it to a non-spatial SQL Server table so I can theme on ownership. The map displays exactly what I want, so now I would like to publish to DWF with attributes, but when I go to MAPDWFOPTIONS, the window doesn't present a list of attributes to select, it is simply blank. Have I missed a step someplace?
I have C3D 2010, 2011, and 2013 installed on my pc. I use the Publish command almost daily, and haven't had any serious issues with it when using 2010 or 2011. But in 2013, when I publish it just sits on the same screen and never actually publishes. I have tried turning off Publish in Background, I have checked that the printer support paths are the same as in 2010 and 2011, and I have tried Publish with different Page Setups.
I am running ACAD 2012 & Civil3d 2012 and would like to install ACAD 2014 to start playing around with the software. Are there issues with running both versions on the same computer?
I have several drawings on paperspace and want to publish them to PDF. I create a page setup for every sheet, and set publish to "PDF" but it did not work, but when I set publish to "plotter named in page setup" it publish but by one sheet on the time. I did try to do it in different ways, according posts before but no luck.
When I publish to PDF, is there a way to reduce the margins of the PDF? When I plot or publish to PDF, the program cuts off a large amount of my layout. I would like to set the margins the same as for my plotter.
When I publish a set of drawings in the background, the AutoCAD app keeps stealing focus of my open windows for each sheet that is processed. This seems to defeat the publish in background option. This was not an issue with 2008.
Tried to publish to face book in Lightroom 4 and 4.4 on both PC and Mac. You can create a new empty album in FB from Lightroom but Lightroom will not the allow you to select the album to upload the images. You just get an error message at the bottom of the screen telling you "error - no album selected" Wasted hours trying to get it to work as per Julian Kost video tutorial.
"Open in viewer when done" is checked. I've unchecked it and rechecked it but the Adobe Reader does not launch after plotting in background completes. It does launch when plotting directly to the DWG to PDF.pc3 plotter. What am I missing?
How to use Autodesk's DWG to PDF driver to plot multiple through publish? Whenever I try to plot more than one layout at a time I get a driver not found error.
I am using acad 2011, and have noticed that when using the publish command, for more than about 15 sheets, it always drops one sheet, and duplicates one, so I always come out with the correct number of pages, but 1 is gone and one has 2 copies.
Has conquered the PUBLISH command hanging and failing to create a multi-sheet PDF?
Everything works the same as AutoCAD 2011, however, even though I have the "Prompt for Name" set I am not prompted for a file name and the publish progress symbol continues without a result.
we are working on circuit drawings which are lengthy and we usually split the model into more than 100 layouts and publish pdfs.So we get 100 pdf pages. When we view the pdf, we need to scroll down to get into next page.
Can we create a pdf for complete circuit in single page, where we can scroll the page horizontally. This will work in viewing the page horizontally with continuity in the circuit.
While publishing several drawings I am having problems creating Single Sheets, (a customer preference). Even though I have the Multi-sheet/Single-sheet setting set to "Single" Autocad still creates a multi-sheet PDF. I am using Autocad 2012.
If I open the drawing and then run the publish command the Status shows "No errors". If the file is not opened and I use the add sheets button to add the exact same file, it shows an error in the Status of "Layout not initialized".
I have been using autocad for 20 years plus. I've never really had to publish anything to DWF. We have a client that wants DWF's instead of PDF's. I have a 3D model with views in paperspace within viewports. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to plot these drawings to DWF in Black and White. I have tried everything. I am using monochrome.ctb plot style. The border and all border elements are plotting B/W but everything in the viewport is plotting whatever color it is in the VP. This is driving me nuts. Never liked this DWF format. If I plot to a PDF it all comes in B/W.
I installed AutoCad 2011 on a new computer Win7 Prof Off OS. I'm trying to make single pdfs for each dwg that I have. No matter what I select it keeps making one multi page file of all my dwg sheets.
I've tried going under Publish Options > General DWF/PDF and I've tried both Multi-sheet file and Single-sheet file getting the same results. I have the same problem whether I use Dwg to Pdf.pc3 or my Adobe.pc3 driver.
I'm doing a program in Visual Basic 2010. In one of the forms I put a button that when clicked must open AutoCAD 2012 and make a drawing in it. The user will decide where to save it.The steps are these:
1. I added the references Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop and Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop.Common to the Visual Basic Project. That's OK.

I recently loaded several versions of AutoCAD on to a Windows 7 machine. ALL versions will open a drawing if double-clicked from windows explorer, but if I try to open through AutoCAD, the program freezes as soon as I click on the "Open" button. This is true for AutoCAD 2010 through 2012.
Machine Specs:

I also cannot open multiple instances of ANY version of AutoCAD in Windows 7.
When I created our custom profile ".arg" file, with two custom workspaces along with the OTB workspaces. I set the Auto Publish Settings to publish to PDF on Exit. With 50+ users, each can create thier own workspace for thier liking.
I have some users that like the feature, and others that do not. The ones that do not like the feature, want to turn the feature off.
So the question is if, under each individual workspace, we uncheck the Auto Publish feature, then save that workspace, is the feature turn off for JUST that workspace? Or does it cut the feature off for all workspaces?
I have a drawing with multiple layouts which is of a road plan and profile in 2 view ports.
When I publish the multiple drawings to DWF the 2nd viewport with the profile in it is completely black, but when I plot to DWF a single layout, it works fine which I don't understand. Surely the publish command publishes to DWF with the same settings as when you do a single plot to DWF, no?.
When a drawing is printed using PLOT the drawing is printed fine. If I batch plot (or publish) it prints all the frozen layers of the xref and also prints the layers as assigned by the XREF drawing and not the new colours I have specified for this drawing.
We are experimenting with turning on the auto publish to PDF on prompted save. (Options/Plot and Publish tab) This will be a very nice tool since we create PDF's of every dwg. that we create. However, I am having trouble locating the settings that control the page layout in this feature (The titleblock is not centered and is getting cut off when PDF is generated) but, When I preview the "standard" way of plotting to PDF, the drawing is fine. I assumed the settings would be one in the same?
I've got a user that has his page setups setup correctly and set current, but when he goes to the publish command it only grabs the model space. even if he checks the "Initialize Layout" (and unchecks "Initialize Model") option in the context menu, it doesn't stick...
I have him rebooting now (we tried closing ACAD (and made sure the process had stopped) and then restarted ACAD and it still wasn't working)
I am having trouble using the publish command when I set the plotter to a 22x34 sheet. We are able to print to an actual plotter just fine at that size, but when we try and make a pdf set at that size, it just errors out.
The error I get is
"ERROR: The current device does not support the requested media size."
