AutoCAD 2010 :: Plot One Or More Of Drawings In Model View To PDF

Oct 8, 2012

When I attempt to plot one or more of my drawings in model view to pdf the plot will show gaps in between the edge of the paper and my border. The plot will vary per drawing but limited to the ledger and tabloid paper size, the plot area is set to window for the area the border contains, and the plot scale is fit to paper.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Annotation Scale Is Not Equal To Plot Scale

Mar 15, 2011

I work in autocad 2010 and I draw in scale 1:1 . What an annotation scale is, moreover I have never used annotative objects in my drawings.

Nonetheless, when I try to plot a drawing, while I am in the model view, I choose the scale in mm/units, I select the plot area and when I press preview or plot, I get the message THE ANNOTATION SCALE IS NOT EQUAL TO THE PLOT SCALE. DO YOU WANT TO CONTINUE?

I press yes, I print it and the outcome is always a bit smaller than it should be.

When i am in the layout mode and I try to plot, I dont get this message. But I dont know how scaling works in this case. For example I want to plot in a A4 paper, scale 1:100. So I type 1000mm/100units, as I did in the model mode, but the result is wrong.

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Plotting To PDF Drawings Disappear When Go To Plot

May 25, 2011

So I have the educational version of ACAD 2012 and this is my first time using that version. My model is done and I formatted my layout with a border and the model to scale in the viewport. When I go to plot to PDF, all I see is the border. I've tried fiddling with colors and viewports but neither of those did anything.

AutoCad :: Annotation Settings In Templates Disappearing In Actual Drawings?

Dec 15, 2012

Running AutoCAD 2013.

I created a .dwt template for general use with plenty of a various paper space layouts and such. I also created a bunch of styles for text, dimensions, multileaders, and tables for both paper and model space. After saving the template, those styles will still be there any time I open up a new drawing with that template. After working a bit and then saving the drawing, the styles will all be gone once I open it again.

Re-opening the original template always has all of the old styles still saved, so why would they disappear once I use that template on a drawing?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Plot / Annotation And Viewport Scale Correlation

Feb 25, 2013

Plot scale / Annotation scale / Viewport scale

I couldn’t figure out how these three types of scales are correlated with one another. For example, my drawing unit in AutoCAD is meter. And thus if I need to print my drawing with a scale of 1:200 then I set the annotation scale to be 1:2viewport scale to be 1:2plot scale 100:1000
 
if I need to print my drawing with a scale of 1:20 then I set the annotation scale to be 5:1viewport scale to be 5:1plot scale 100:1000 

I couldn’t derive the rule that controls these three types of scales. This is also quite confusing when working with C3D! Sounds not the same logic is applied.

I have a problem to plot thin lines and dots when Plot Transparency option is On in the Plot dialog box.

The lineweight is a half of the original. I think i have tried everything.

It shows correctly in the Plot Preview but when printed there are no dotted hatches and lines are much thinner.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Why Does Normal Plot Style Plot In Color

Oct 9, 2013

AutoCAD - Why does the Normal plot style plot in color? Black seems to make a lot more sense. Almost everyone in Architecture uses black prints most frequently so that should be the default. And you can't adjust Normal to all black. So what was AutoDesk's reasoning?

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Set Plot Scale By Annotation Scale?

Aug 9, 2012

I am working on automating page setups in model space and am looking for a way to set the plot scale equal to the annotation scale for scaled drawings with

(setvar "filedia" 0)

(setq a (getstring (getvar "cannoscale")))

(command "-plot" "YES" "MODEL" "" "" "" "" "" "" !A "" "" "" "" "" "" "_Y" "_N")

Setting the plot scale with !A causes the lisp to fail.  However, when running each prompt through the command line individually, !A works fine.  what is missing?

AutoCAD VB :: Plot Multiple Drawings Using VBA

Aug 1, 2013

I am trying to write some VBA code to print several drawings present in a folder.

I am not a VBA expert. I wrote some little macros in excel but it is the first one in Autocad.

I have a small code that opens a drawing, counts it, closes it and then loops for other drawings.

I have a code that print a drawing by defining some printing parameters.

Separately, both work. But when I call the second one into the loop, I get a error:

"Run-time error '-2147418111 (800100001)':

 Automation error

 Call was rejected by callee."

I'm using Windows 7 and Autocad 2012.

See my code below:

Option Explicit
Dim filename As String
Dim filepath As String
Dim full_filename As String
Dim i As Integer
Sub print_trial()
[Code] ......

AutoCAD LT :: Plot Drawings - Lineweights Be The Same

Apr 30, 2013

I'm trying to plot my drawings and have all my line weights be the same in the final plot so that no line is more bold than another. I do custom home designs and am now adding in additional information that uses different colors for appliances, plumbing, etc.

I'm using the standard red, cyan, magenta, green, 252 gray scale colors, however, when I plot, all of the lines except red are thick and make the objects entirely too bold for my purposes. How do I fix this other than changing everything to red? I didn't have this problem when I worked with AutoCAD 2006 at my old company (we had drafters set up this stuff for us), but now that I'm on my own and trying to get my own plotting figured out, I'm struggling.

I attached an example for reference. It's the windows (gray scaled), plumbing fixtures (cyan), and appliances (magenta) that come out entirely too dark.

AutoCad :: Plot Multiple Drawings All At Once?

Sep 5, 2007

I am trying to plot multiple drawings all at once. I work with many drawing sizes varies from size A to size E. What would be the best way to plot all drawings to 11 X 17 paper no matter what size the drawings are set to? These drawings are not xref or anything. They all are separated files. I tried using Set Sheet Manager; it will only plot to whatever that size is. I want all drawings to be plotted on 11 X 17. I did some research in the forums here and was not able to find what I was looking for.

AutoCAD 2010 :: How To Convert Annotation Into Points

May 19, 2012

i have an elevation point layer that i'm using in a project and i needed to import it to arcgis for some interpolation.

Problem is, all altimetric points are "B"s instead of being points, and arcgis doesn't recognize them as points. Is there a way of quickly converting them all of them into points?

Take into consideration that we're talking about hundreds, maybe thousands of said "B"s.

AutoCAD 2010 :: ATTYNC Command In Different Annotation Scales?

Feb 13, 2012

We are using in the office annotative blocks with text attributes.

When changing the display annotation scale, the attributes go normally, at the beginning, all back to 0,0,0 point; what we solve by using ATTSYNC command, and works fine; they go back to correct size and location.

But, for some reason in some computers, when closing and saving the file, and opening it again next day, all the attributes, at the same display scale than the day before, are all wrong size and location.

I have tried to uninstall the whole program and install it again from zero, and the same problem persists.What can I do?

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Printing Multiple Drawings

Apr 10, 2006

Is is possible to "que" a bunch of drawings to be plotted? I would like to be able to open a drawing and plot it, then while it's plotting, open another drawing and plot it, then another and so on and so on. However, I get an error message stating that another plot is in process and only one plot or publish process can be active at one time. Thus, I'm forced to wait for the last one to complete before sending the next one to the plotter.

AutoCAD 2010 :: How To Import / Export Text Annotation Settings

I have been trying to export my annotation settings using the  profile function on Autocad 2010.  I can't get it to work, and I don't think this is the best way to achieve my goal.  I've made a template file, but I don't know how to import it.

My goal is to, as quickly as possible, give 8 drawings the same annotation settings.

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Opening Drawings And Printing Over WAN Is Slow?

Aug 13, 2013

Is there a way to increase the access time so printing is faster?

I have AutoCAD 2013 and access drawings over VPN (6 meg pipe).

Both opening the drawings and especially printing them take a very long time.

It takes about 8 seconds to open drawings, due to all the modules loading on the bottom-left of AutoCAD. Printing takes even longer than opening the drawings.

Is there a setting I can change to speed-up access time?

AutoCad :: Batch Plot 50 Drawings - Publish With Block Stamp?

Jun 20, 2012

I'd like to batch plot 50 drawings, all of which have the same title block in the same position. This is easy with the PUBLISH command, but I'd like to be able to add a "stamp" of the customer logo to these drawings, which I have as a block in a separate file. Basically I want to easily be able to plot the same drawings for different customers, the only difference being the customer logo. Is this possible?
