AutoCAD Map 3D :: Text Plotting Outside Viewport In 2013 But Not In 2012?
Oct 3, 2012I am currently running map 3d 2012 and my co-worker is running 2013. When she plots in paperspace, there is text that gets plotted that is outside of her viewport. When I open up the drawing on my computer, it plots perfectly. I attached a clip of it, the thick black is our drawing border, the viewport is where the color stops.

Sep 24, 2012I am curious what would cause my viewport to print as if it is filled with solid hatch? I haven't changed any settings for the viewport and even recreated it from scratch. In my print preview it shows it will print as it looks on the screen, however when it actually prints, it's filled in solid.

Jun 3, 2013I brought a normal 4 sided viewport into my layout, but needed to clip and make a viewport with 6 sides. I have also tried to redraw this by using a polygonal viewport. When I go to plot the page, parts or all of the viewport boundaries are on. It doesn't matter if I go to layer control and turn the layer off or freeze or select the non-plotting icon.

Mar 9, 2012Why my viewport is moving to the right when I print it in batchplot.
I tested by printing the outline of the vport and opening the resulting PDF in a PDF viewer.
The vport is exactly the same dimension but is about .5 inch off to the right.
AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Plotting Blocks With Viewport Transparency
Jan 8, 2014Trying to get blocks to plot transparent for only 1 viewport. Using viewport transparency works for all objects in applicable layer except blocks that have been created using "0" layer. I cannot use transparency by block since the blocks must show in other layouts without transparency. Also cannot re-create blocks using different layer since the source file is kept on network for all to use. Is there a way to plot blocks with the vp transparency of its current layer despite having created the block in another layer?

May 3, 2013Is there a way to "disable" the display of the viewport "outline" so that it is not seen when looking at the paper space tab on a computer screen? Kind of like how images have frames but you can "hide" them.

Oct 11, 2012On one of my drawings which was created by someone else, the viewports don't have boxes around them. When you click on them in paperspace, it bring you into model space, and when you click on detail it opens up, but cannot expand viewport., you can't delete it. I want to expand it to bring in detail which is bigger now.

Jan 9, 2014I've been running dual monitors (22" and a 18") for a while, but I just upgraded to a larger second monitor (now both 22"). Before, I left AutoCAD running in the main monitor, but now I've switched it to run in the second monitor instead. Now AutoCAD will not remember the position or size of the Open and Save dialog boxes while it is in the second monitor. Sometimes it throws them back into the main monitor and other times they show up in the second but without the resize I did previously.

AutoCad :: Add Selection Boxes Or Pick Boxes To Block?
Jun 10, 2011Can add selection boxes or pick boxes to a block?
Here's the situation. I have a block that will be inserted showing a piece of angle iron that is used for a stiffener. We have various sizes that will need to be used. Instead of typing in the angle size each time it's inserted can I have a list of all the angle sizes and then a pick box or radial dial or something to be selected and that is what is put in the block?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Plotting To PDF
Oct 5, 2013I have been working with a large scale architectural drawing provided by my cleint's architects. Since I usually work in black on a white screen, I have been working from paperspace with the viewport set to.monochrome. Up until Thursday, whenever I printed to PDF, I would get a monochome image which is what is supposed to happen.
However, In order to provide my client with a colour coded image, I changed some settings and printed a colour PDF. Now I cannot get it to go back to Monochrome. What setting has changed. I opened an earlier version of the same drawing and output a PDF from that drawing - black and white PDF. Try it from the current version of the drawing, it comes out in colour.
I have compared page setup settings, output setting, viewport 'MO' settings, they are all the same. How do I get back to black and white output.

May 9, 2012AutoCAD 2013 Windows XP
I have a drawing (Drawing A) that contains a PDF (using PDF attach) with text over the PDF. I then have this drawing Xref'd (as overlay and as attachment) into another drawing (Drawing B). When I print this drawing (Drawing B). The text prints but the pdf does not.
In Drawing A the pdf is on the 0 layer.
In Drawing B the pdf is on 0 layer.
The 0 layer is not frozen and is set to print.
The xref in drawing B is set to overlay and relative (I tried absolute).
I can see the pdf in drawing B.
PDFrame is set to 2 in dwg A and B.
AutoCAD 2013 :: Plotting Xrefs To PDF In B&W
Jan 28, 2013We setup a company template to use STB. Not trying to debate if its the right move, we simply did it because the designers grasped the concept of Named Styles rather than color styles.
Here is our setup.
AutoCAD 13 on Windows 7 with Adobe PDF or DWG to PDF
We have an xref'ed drawing of a background. We xref it on Layer XXX_BKGRD with a color of yellow and a Plot Style of Background.
In our STB file we have style named Background set to plot Black. We have Plot object lineweights and plot with plot styles selected. The VP is set to Legacy Hidden.
When we do a plot preview, its all color. No change.
AutoCAD LT :: 2013 Plotting From A Macro
May 16, 2013I have a large number of drawings with template details of a printer that is now longer available (we moved offices). I therefore want to write a macro that instead of trying to use the template detailed printer and then failing to the None printer instead goes straight to the new printer (Lanier MPC2500). Once I get this basic task completed I'll then add additional functionality.
The macro at present is:-
^C^C-plot;y;; \mwperdc03LANIER MPC2500;;A3 (297 x 420 mm);m;l;n;l;1:1;0.00,0.00;y;monochrome.ctb;y;n;n;n;n;y;
I also know where it's failing (the first in the path) as this is the macro escape character to enable the user to add information. If I then manually enter (or paste) the link \mwperdc03LANIER MPC2500 into the command line and press enter the rest of the macro executes and I get a print output. I've attached a screenshot of the command line for info.
I've read that instead of using the character in the path I should use the /. I've tried this but it doesn't seem to work.
Is there another method of embedding paths into Autocad LT so this will operate or a better workaround?
I'd thought of using DIESEL but I can't see any suitable commands in the command library.
>>>>>Why did they choose a as and escape character?????
AutoCAD 2013 :: Plotting To PDF With Transparency
Dec 12, 2012I have multiple drawings I've been working on that have tif files laid in the background that I have been making my drawings over the top of. In order to make the linework easier to see, both on screen and on plot, I applied a 65% transparency to the layer containing the tif. Everything worked fine, and printing worked great, but when I tried to plot them to pdf, the transparency failed to plot properly. I tried PrimoPDF and the transparency worked, but the paper sizes didn't include Arch D and the plot didn't look as crisp as the one produced by AutoCAD. In the end, I ended up pay $5 per print to have the DWG files processed, because I needed the transparency to plot properly. I would like to figure out what the problem was so that next time I need to send out for prints.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Windows 7 64 Bit Crashes When Plotting
Mar 25, 2013Running AutoCAD 2013 on Windows 7 64-bit OS Dell desktop.Whenever I plot 1 in 4 of the times, AutoCAD freezes, usually crashing. Happens both when either typing the command or using pulldown option.Freezes before I get a chance to choose which printer/plotter but plotting with HP Designjet T1120.
I am assuming downloading the HP Universal driver wouldn't do me any good. I am not crashing after I send anything to plot, but before, immediately after the 'Plot' window comes up, it freezes.
