AutoCAD 2010 :: Lineweight Not Plotting To Pdf?
Aug 8, 2013
Im trying to print a logo for my detachment using Autocad to PDF but for one the line dont show up in the PDF file and second the original color of the drawing is faded. Black goes to a smoke grey color, lines dont show up, and the red is blurry. I need this to be fixed but I just dont have the skill to do it. And stupid autocad doesnt have a contact number for step by step instructions with an actual human! Im trying to use the logo for a T-shirt but it seems like I cannot for the life of me print a suitable digital image for it. I am using AutoCad ARCH 12...

I am trying to embolden lineweights to stand out on the drawing, without them getting in the way when viewing in the drawing. I have set the lineweight in the layer dialogue box to the max size (2.xx mm), checked the "plot lineweights" in the printer dialogue and switched between none and grayscale (this is so the assigned colors will fade out in the background). Nothing I have tried thus far has changed the print output on any of my printers (virtual PDF, HP2100, HP2600n, HP2840 they are all very old). I have read through the lweight command and help sections, but I don't need it assigning the lw just getting it to properly print.
One possible problem: is the line weight relative to scale or is it absolute? I am printing at 1/8" scale, and that can't change.

Quick question about plotting to a PDF. I'm using autocad 2013 and I'm plotting to a PDF printer called bullzip, a free PDF printer. My question is, will my line-weights be the same if I have kinko's print a PDF file with my drawings in them

I am running two networked computers and a networked Designjet 510 plotter. One computer runs LT2013 and the other LT2014.
I am having an issue with the LT2013 machine in that it plots much darker than it should (uses a heavier lineweight). I have checked the plotter set up and plot style and both appear the same.

With regard to line thickness, which takes precedence when plotting a drawing, the layer lineweight (in layer properties) or the line colour assignment (in plot styles)?

Am trying to plot my drawing to a pdf, but none of my thicker line weights are showing up when plotted to pdf . Am using .stb style and all my line weights etc under general properties are set as by layer.

Using AutoCAD 2011 we always use 0.00 as our default line weight but the default will change to 0.010 with no real pattern. It can be any drawing at any time. We have reset this dozens of times without being able to stop it from reoccurring.
We are also not able to get line weight to display (yes we check the Lineweight Settings, Display lineweight box) again on random drawings at random times.

Setting a lineweight for the dimension objects,As the dimension object contains: text, dimension line and extension line and behaves as a block, then why the arrowhead (oblique) of the “dimension line” doesn’t follow the lineweight chosen for all the dimension objects?why the "arrowhead" (oblique) is thicker than other dimension elements?

I have underlayed a DWF drawing in AutoCAD and I'm looking for a way to manage the the lineweight while printing.
I have try many settings but the lines from the DWF come out very thin, probably the thiner that AutoCAD is able to provide.

Is there a way to set the “lineweight” to be Color-based automatically?
I’m wondering if there is a way to set the lineweight to be color-based such that all the objects have the same color will take the same lineweight automatically.
Sure, we can control such behavior through the “bylayer” feature but I’m not sure if this very particular behavior might exist in the AutoCAD; color-based lineweigth!

I have an xref in my drawing. I am trying to use a VP override to make a layer plot with a lighter lineweight. I have changed the layer to number 9 (set to plot light) in the viewport and the layer changes color. When plotting the layer does not plot with the correct lineweight. The object color on the layer is set to bylayer. Visretain is set to "1" What is wrong? Why isn't the layer plotting correctly?

I'am a quite expert Autocad user, but I have now a version wich seems to have some problem in plotting using Monochrome.ctb or Grayscale.ctb
If I choose one (It's the same problem with both), all the coloured layer in the layout visualization become black of course, but if I preview or I print it, the pdf created has all layer's colours.
of course the PLOT WITH PLOT STYLES box is checked.

when i try to plot a layout or modelspace with a pdf xref'ed into it, to a new pdf, the resulting pdf is illegible - first off it becomes rasterized even though it's a vector document produced from word, and secondly it is extremely low quality. I have looked far and wide for settings that might work with this but I have come up empty -

I'm not sure this is AutoCad related or Adobe but I'll start here if you don't mind. Windows 7, AutoCad 2011 and Adobe 2013 reader. When I plot using AutoCad's plot to .pdf the .pdf displays. I want to stop this display.

When plotting some files to pdf using the "dwg to pdf" as well as the "adobe pdf" some of the lines show two different lineweights. Some of the text displays two lineweights as well. It does not seem to happen with all drawings. The adobe version is better than the dwg to pdf but still not as good as plotting directly to the plotter from acad.

I have a drawing and when I go to plot the drawing the border on 2 sides get s cut off. I preview and all looks right, but the hard-copy has the borders cut off. Is this a cad setting or a printer issue (other programs work fine and PDFs of drawings are good to).

I have checked every setting and have even redrawn the file where the error occurs. We send out for prints to a printing company as we do not have a plotter so I need to fix this. When the file is converted to a pdf. the "sand hatch" seems to be printing at an inconsistant lineweight all within the same section. This error occurs when printing from a DWG to export to an Adobe PDF. The hatch is all on the same layer same settings and drawn in the same action period. it makes no sense why it would change when all the settings are exactly the same.
I have also tried drawing them on a new layer i created matching the same layer settings and it still converts inconsistant in the same two areas. I have completely erased that section of drawing and redrew it not changing out of any tools or settings and it just keeps doing it. I have also tried checking all the pdf settings and tried plotting it different ways and it wont dissapear. The only time it does not show up is when i export a window shot directly from model space.
But i need to print it from paperspace and this is where the error occurs. It almost seems as though the export is not processing the drawing corretly as it is converting the drawing but i dont know how to fix it. I first noticed the problem when i recieved the prints back from the printer as you can clearly see the hatch appears thicker and darker in two sections along the same hatch. I then looked at the pdf and it appeared fine, but as i zoomed in on the pdf up to 300% that is when you notice the change.

So we have started some work overseas and I have been trying to make sense of the metric units in CAD. Metric units in general, make way more sense then imperial units but how they work in CAD has been confusing.
I am familiar with the UNITS command and have changed the drawing units to "decimal" and the insertion units to "unitless"
I know that when you draw a 1 unit line in model space it could represent a 1 millimeter line or a 1 meter line and that it is up to the drafter to decide what it will be. I also am familiar with setting up dim styles to dimension correctly based off of whether you are drawing in meters or millimeters.
I have set my Adobe pdf printer to A1 23.4" X 33.1" (594mm x 841mm). when I draw a 1 unit line in paper space and print the layout the 1 unit line measures 1 inch?

I am having a problem with pltting files to pdf that contain a pdf underlay. When I do this, the pdf underlay part comes out fuzzy and unreadable. If I plot to paper, everything is fine.
I am using the standard pdf plotter and my own ctb file. Autocad 2012 and Adobe Acrobat x standard.
I didn't have this issue at my last employment with autocad c3d 2010 and acrobat 9 pro

I am having issues batch plotting in LT 2010.
I am using Windows Vista.
I go to the batch plot. Load the drawings I want to plot. I then load the page setup I want to use. None of the files plot. The error says that the device doesn't support the output size.
The weird thing is that I can plot using those same page setups individual files, just not as a batch.

I need to be able to import the airfoil geometry of a NACA 2412 airfoil. I know how to get the XY coordinates but I don't know how to import these points (as a .txt file?) into ACAD. What function would I use? Spline? If so how do I get it to draw all the points I have? I need to then extrude the shape to be able to mill airfoil sections...that part I can figure out....just need to import the points to get a nice curve.

I usually make pdf's by plotting each layout to pdf then combining them with adobe acrobat. Recently i have tried the batch plot to pdf and found that i like it much better but im having a problem with it. I have set up my page sheet manager and have imported my plot sheet settings from a different file. I have checked and double checked that the settings on this file is correct.
My problem is that when i create the batch plot and select the page setup when i create the pdf it cut the left and right side of the page off like there are margins or something. I have created a pdf my plotting to pdf on an individual page and printed it and compared to my batch plot and they are the same scale and size on the paper but the batch plot cuts it off on the sides. I need to get it to print like the plot to pdf so that it is to scale.

I recently upgraded from ACAD 2004 to ACAD 2012. In ACAD 2004, plotting was extremely quick. In ACAD 2012, plotting seems to be extremely slow. A basic drawing in 2004 plotted as a pdf file using CUTE PDF or PDF Creator would take about 5-10 seconds. In ACAD 2012, a similar file using the same CUTE PDF or PDF Creator will take up to 2-3 minutes. Not a long time but when you are plotting a dwg set that has up to 10 tabs in it, it takes 20-30 minutes just to plot. Is there any way to speed up the plotting in ACAD 2012? I have both ACAD 2004 and ACAD 2012 loaded on the same computer.

My company just got new computers, I've loaded 2012 SP1 and our lisp comands on every machine. After a plot, when someone goes to save and close the drawing, AutoCAD crashes. It does not matter which plot device is used, the result is the same. This includes the plot devices included in AutoCAD. I have reinstalled autocad on one machine, no lisp commands, same result. I have already tried some of the fixes proposed in other threads, nothing has worked.

While batch plotting to a multi page PDF in AutoCad 2012 using Adobe Acrobat:
My pages come out with a blank / empty viewport,
The title block is on the page and nothing else plots on the page.
This is only happening with one of the files I am working in. Other DWGs are PDFing normal.
