AutoCAD 2010 :: PDF Publish Stuck On Multi-sheet

Aug 16, 2012

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.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Can't Publish Single-sheet Files In PDF

Mar 1, 2012

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.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Publish Command When Set Plotter To 22x34 Sheet

Feb 7, 2013

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."

AutoCAD LT :: Publish To Multi-Page PDF

Dec 19, 2012

I am using AutoCAD LT 2009. I have AcrobatPro installed on my machine as well.

I seem to have lost my ability to publish a a bunch of dwg files and have one PDF file as the output. It used to work fine...I would hit publish, add all my dwgs (all model tabs), configure all page setups to be one of my Adobe PDF options (I have few configured, one for color, gray, B&W, etc), hit the publish button and then adobe would be prompt me for a file name, and then voila - I have one multi-page PDF of my drawing set.

Where it got lost and what happened, I don't know. As for trying to fix it, I have tried everything below, but nothing that gets me back to where I was:

1. Tried using the built-in "DWG to PDF." At best, this will automatically generate a PDF for each drawing without any input from me. I then used Adobe to combine all the drawings into one file. I could live with this, however, the resolution of the PDF's is not enough. I even tried changing the resolution setting to 1200dpi...stills comes out bad.

2. Using the "Adobe PDF." I get prompted by adobe for a filename for each dwg. This is very tedious. However, the output files look nice and much better resolution than #1.

3. There seem to be a lot of mention in hte forums to a system variable PUBLISHCOLLATE. This does not exist in my list of system variables (maybe because I am using LT). I tried setenv command to create the variable and toggle it from 0 to 1...this does not affect anything.

4. Within the Publish Dialogue - There is no mention of PDF anywhere. My only options for 'Publish to' are 'Plotter named in the setup' or 'DWF'. Within the Publish Options, nothing related to PDF...only options for DWF. I have tried changing these anyway, not affect.

5. Toying the pc3 - I tried changing some settings with PC3 file (Adobe PDF and DWG to PDF)...nothing fixed the problem. I tried setting collate from NONE to REGULAR, tried changing port to AUTOSPOOL, PLOT TO FILE, PLOT TO THE FOLLOWING PORT...nothing worked.

AutoCad :: Setup First Sheet Then Publish Command?

May 15, 2012

Trying to print multiple drawings. I setup up the first sheet then publish command. I select all the drawings and change the page setup and they all change to the first sheet. Then I press publish and only the first sheet goes. I went through a tutorial on You Tube and did everything but result is the same, only the first sheet.

AutoCad :: Sheet Files Loaded In Publish Window

Mar 29, 2012

I am attempting to plot drawings to PDF's using publish. My problem is that when I have my sheet files loaded in the publish window, only some of them have the desired plot styles, I can't understand why this is.

I will go into a little more detail, when you select the page setup drop down menu and you are able choose the plot style you desire, various drawings don't have all of the options.

I am fully aware that you can just move a drawing that has the plot style to the top, select all of the drawings at once and you change them all but this is only a temporary solution.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Multi Sheet Layout

Jan 10, 2012

Our configuration management tool requires a DWG for our system assembly drawings.  A single DWG with all the sheets layed out in a sheet space.  Right now I do a "Save As" out of inventor and it creates X number of seperate DWG files and then I stitch them together in AutoCAD by taking each sheet and placing them into a single sheet space (copy paste). My work flow would be much faster if I could get Inventor to create a single sheet space with all the active or selected sheets as a single DWG output.

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Publish Sheet Name Is Missing Dwg Prefix

Oct 8, 2012

One workstation out of 50+/- when we publish, does not show the drawing prefix on the sheets in the "Sheet Name" list. The attached file shows a good list but that one computer is missing the prefix and if we're attempting to publish several drawings in model space, they would all have the same name so AutoCAD will not allow it because they would all have the same name . How do i get this drawing name prefix back?

Revit :: Stuck Inside Sheet Template Schedule Editor

Oct 8, 2012

In customizing a sheet template, I entered into a "Schedule: Revision Schedule".  I made the minor adjustments, but can not get back to the sheet template. 
 
The 'Project Browser' only has "Schedules" under 'Views'.  (refer to attached image)  I know the rest of the content from the sheet (eg. titleblock) are still in the file, as it still is present when I "Load into Project".
 
How do you exit the schedule editor from a sheet template file?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Renaming Sheets In A Multi-sheet IDW

Oct 4, 2012

Is there any easy way to have sheet name automatically pull the "description" iProperty from the part that is on the sheet?  It can be very handy in a multi-sheet drawing for each sheet to have a descriptive name in the browser, but the only way to do this (that I know of) is to manually change it.

AutoCad :: Sheet Set Publish Alters Attribute That Is NOT A Field (makes SSM Useless)

Aug 11, 2013

I am using the Sheet Set manager to just publish my drawings to the named plotter (Adobe PDF). I an NOT using any fields. I do not have any sheet numbers assigned in the sheet set. Each drawing is a separate file with only one layout tab in each file. On each drawing, the sheet title and drawing number are within an attributed block, with the drawing number in an attribute with a tag of SHEETNO. Everything is in RomanS. Single sheets plot fine. This is the only sheet set.

The problem is that the sheet number are altered when I use Sheet Set Publish to make a multi-sheet PDF. The manually inserted plain-text sheet numbers are all in the format X#.# (A1.1, A2.3, etc.). Two things happen:

1. The number after the period is printed in a different font on all sheets (NOT RomanS - the ends of the stroke are square) .

2. Over half the numbers are changed (the first sheet, the cover, is blank and not changed):

T1.1 -> T1.- (the dash character)
A1.1 -> A1.1 (OK number)
A2.1 -> A2.1 (OK number)
A2.2 -> A2. 1 (note the extra space)
A2.3 -> A2.2
A3.1 -> A3.3
A4.1 -> A4.1 (OK number)
A4.3 -> A4. 2 (note the extra space)
A8.1 -> A8.3
A9.1 -> A9.1 (OK number)

AutoCAD 2009 on Window 7. No other similar problems.

As it is, Sheet Set Publish is useless. (I know, get an updated version of AutoCAD - it's in the works).

AutoCAD Architecture :: Publishing Multi-sheet To Single PDF File?

I changed my Publish options on the Project Navigator  for publishing to PDF as a single sheet per sheet layout.  Now I want to put it back so that when I publish it does ALL sheet into one PDF file and I can not figure out how to put it back. Now ever time I publish it does each sheet as a separate pdf.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Multi Sheet Plotting 2014 Fails

Sep 23, 2013

I've been try to use the Multi Sheet Plot routine that's provided with the Inventor 2014 install.

I'm attempting to plot both Vaulted and Non-Vaulted idw and Inventor .dwg files.

Regardless of drawing type or location, the Multi Sheet Plot routine is unable to print any files.  The application reports a failed while reading  error.  None of the settings within the application seem to have any effect on eliminating the read file errors.

What steps must I follow in order to successfully print multiple sheets of a designated printer?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Multi Sheet IDWs And Work Flow

Apr 26, 2012

we have simple assemblies with bolted weldments and few misc. parts. most assemblies are 3-20 parts a typical project would have:

-a few laser cut parts, some plastic and hardware. these items need to have part drawings sent to a vendor. 

-some in house cretaed parts that need a drawing

-assembly drawing for our shop

i think i am seeing that by having one single  IDW its getting hard to send all the drawings to the people that need them. an example would be if a vendor calls about one part, i may send him a 4 page PDF and tell him to look on sheet 2.the other issue that i have is that my standard work flow is:

-design a product

-hand of to another dept for them to enter SKU numbers for parts and assemblies.

so my file names never match what the final product name is. i have been using fields in the iPROP, but it would be nice to revise file names when SKUs are created. im guessing vault would be the tool for something like that?

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Putting Bookmarks In Multi-Sheet PDFs?

Oct 14, 2011

I have found that if you publish to single-sheet .pdf's and then combine the .pdf's into one file using Acrobat, each sheet is bookmarked using the name of the individual files for the bookmark names.  However, if you publish to a multi-sheet .pdf, no bookmarks are created.  Is there any way to create multi-sheet .pdf's in AutoCad and have bookmarks automatically inserted (using the name of the layout as the bookmark name)?

AutoCad :: Plugin To Allow Batch Plotting Of PDFs From Multi-sheet Drawings

Jun 17, 2011

We have Adobe Acrobat Pro which has a plugin to allow batch plotting of PDFs from multi-sheet drawings. Works awesome in Autocad 2009 and before. It DOES NOT work with Autocad 2011!

We have drawings with 70 sheets and it's nice to print the entire document to a single PDF in one step. Takes less than one minute in Acad09. Nice!

AutoCAD 2010 :: Stuck In A View Port?

Apr 24, 2012

When I am in paper space I sometimes double click in my viewport. Then the viewport becomes my whole window. How do I get out of the viewport without doing an undo until I reach where I first began?

Also sometimes when I double click in the viewport, but the viewport is the only thing visible in the screen, (vs having the whole sheet and being able to click out) I don't know how to get out without Undo.

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Multi Sheet Plotting To Smaller Paper Size

Oct 8, 2013

This is an issue for which no one in my office has any solution.  We create all of our plan sets on E1 size paper. However, when we plot them for redlines we print to C-size to save paper. I know you can "publish selected layouts" to plot numerous tabs at a time. However, I am unable to figure out how to make them plot to a smaller size paper than what the page is set up for. Is there a way to plot all of the tabs at a smaller scale without plotting each tab individually?

We just recently upgraded to AutoCad 2014.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Stuck In Plot Preview Loop

Oct 26, 2009

AutoCAD 2010 SP2:

Upon setting up a drawing for plotting (the problem is not printer specific) the "Print Preview" gets stuck in a loop where I am unable to exit if I choose to cancel or alter the settings. I am forced to go ahead and send the plot. If iI immediately go back and run the PLOT command again nothing happens... no dialog box, no error nothing. I must then go to any other open dwg, do a save, and then go back to the original dwg. Then the PLOT command will again work, however, still getting stuck in the preview loop.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Workspace / Bars Stuck All The Time

Jan 31, 2012

When I switch tabs in my UI (I use Drafting and Annotation), they bug somehow and they don't upgrade visually. What I mean is that if I switch "Home" tab to "Annotate", it keeps showing "Home" tab maximized, but the if I click "Line" it would use "Multiline tool", as they occupy same space in corresponding tab. I can fix it temporarily by multi-clicking bar, but after next switch between tabs, it would bug again. I assume it is not hardware problem, as it used to work for me, then I reinstalled my OS and bug started.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Hatch Creation Ribbon Stuck?

Dec 1, 2011

I was attempting to hatch a simple closed polyline when all of sudden AutoCad had to pull a stunt and give me the FATAL ERROR shut down. When I recovered my drawing, it automatically launched the hatch creation window..just as i left it. However, nothing works. I can't hatch anything, and I can't close the hatch editor ribbon. If i try to select an area to hatch, it lets me select it, but then glitches out and asks me for a base point to move something. I've tried everything, DPLGMODE set to 1, save as, close, shut down, etc..
