AutoCAD 2013 :: Publish To DWF Or PDF

Jul 13, 2012

I have never had trouble publishing to DWF's or PDF's from the sheet set manager. Now recently, when I try, It asks where I want to save it then briefly pops up the progress box. Nothing happens, though. The box dissappears and it doesn't create any files. I have tried changing the publish options as well as the publishcollate variable. This is happening to any files I try it with including ones that it worked on just last week. Have I gotten a setting changed somewhere? I tried to run a repair on AutoCAD, but that didn't work?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Freeze During Publish In 2013?

Sep 20, 2012

I am having problems using the publish command in Autocad 2013. The command works fine in 2010. I am able to plot normally in 2013. As you can see from the attached screenshots my settings are the same in both versions. The command freezes up during plotting of the second drawing in any group.

AutoCAD 2013 :: IDrop And IE9 Not Working With Publish To Web?

Dec 12, 2013

why the iDrop functionality included in the Publish to Web feature still inside AutoCAD 2013 no longer works...

We use this to tool to host AutoCAD Detail Libraries so users can open details in Design Review or drag and drop details as blocks, exploding the blocks and editing the details to suit the need. However, this no longer works on our webpages!

FYI, We are using IE9 both 32 and 64 Bit.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Publish To PDF Is Making Locked Files

Apr 17, 2013

When I select multiple PS tabs and Publish them all to a pdf, the pdf file that is created has a small lock next to it UNLESS I select AutoCAD's default location (my documents). If I select a project folder and name the pdf whatever I want, it puts the small lock. If I let it put it wherever it wants, it doesn't.

Even if I change the default location through Publish Options, it will add the lock. I need to be able to select different folders every time so I need the option of selecting where to put it.

How to stop it from making files with the lock icon on them?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Publish Drawings To PDF Landscape / Portrait?

Sep 11, 2012

We just recently updated to AutoCAD 2013 from 2011. We use Publish to create PDF files that we send to our customers. When I tried to create a PDF in 2013 some of my drawings are oriented landscape while others are oriented portrait. I went back to 2011 and used the same drawings and it created them all oriented landscape.

Am I missing a setting somewhere in 2013?

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Publish In 2013 Doesn't Work?

Nov 21, 2013

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.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Publish Requires Saving Drawings Before Creating A DSD File?

Oct 23, 2013

When I am working on several drawngs at the same time, I use the Publish command to plot them as a group. However to save the settings as a DSD file for future use, every open file needs to be saved. Why is this? Is there a way to disable that requirement?

There is no reason I can think of besides "by design" for this. The DSD file is only a list of drawings and their plot settings and is not dpendent in any way I can think of, to whether or not one its drawings is open and not saved.

after 2013 was installed in my colleagues computer he now has the option to include Layouts when opening the publishing command, which didn't happen before.  It is a slight pain removing these from the selection to be published and I was wondering how I get it to only select models and not layouts when opening the publish command as default.

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Publish Command Won't Publish

May 9, 2013

Using AutoCAD 2013, myself and several other coworkers have encountered an error message when creating a pdf with the publish command. I attached a screen shot of it.

We never experienced this in earlier versions. It doesn't happen 100% of the time, but it has been recurring more in the past month. I have restarted the computer after receiving the message and then invoked the publish command after restart and it was successful. I'm not going to do this every time I publish, nor do I see the need to turn off background plotting. That just seems like a bandaid fix.

I even tried publishing with different page setups to determine if it would react differently to any page setup, but it doesn't. I attached a view of my publish window, as well.

AutoCad :: Publish To PDF In Color Instead Of CTB

Jul 18, 2013

I am having the following problem in one of the pc's in my company: Whenever we publish to PDF, the drawings comes out in color with an error message that says "Incompatible or missing plot style".

The plot style (*.ctb file) is correctly installed. It also can't be incompatible because the rest of the office, with the exact same installed software, uses it without a problem.

The funny thing is that when one plots to pdf (not publish), the drawing comes out fine. Funnier than that is that when I modify the publish options to publish to plotter named in page setup (which is the plot-to-pdf that worked before), it will have the same "incompatible" crap-of-a-problem and print in color.

Finally, I tried to publish the exact same files with the exact same ctb file from another computer and there is no problem.

The problem happens with both AutoCAD 2012 and AutoCAD 2013.

AutoCad :: PDF Output Using PUBLISH

Jun 14, 2011

When you PUBLISH to PDF, is there an option to not have the filename before each Layout tab? I get tired of renaming files when I'm doing a quick job that doesn't require use of the SSM. When I publish using the SSM it works fantastic but not if you simply initiate the PUBLISH dialog box via the command line.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Publish DWF To Autodesk 360?

Sep 2, 2012

Simple 1-click feature to publish an inventor file to DWF AND send to the Autodesk 360 account for mobile viewing purposes? 

To me this would seem to be one of the primary workflows of an online service?

I am interested to know how others have been publishing their Inventor parts and drawings to 360 for viewing and also potentially whether this workflow is under development in the pipeline.

AutoCAD LT :: Publish Command Via Script

Sep 21, 2012

We are using a mixture of ACAD 2012 & LT2012. The command '-PUBLISH' is recognised in ACAD2012, but not in LT2012. Therefore several scripts that we have, to publish a .dsd file, do not function on the LT2012 machines.

What are the alternatives?

The end scenario is to be able to create a multi-sheet pdf file, from an .dsd file (that is automatically created via excel), by using a combination of .bat and .scr files - without user intervention.

NB: The .dsd file contains a list of page set-ups that are various views within a single .dwg file.

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 LT :: Auto Publish Does Not Generate Anything?

Jul 24, 2012

I am wanting to set up my cad so that when I save a file,  a *.pdf file (with the same name as the saved *.dwg file) is automatically generated and dropped in a specific folder.  I think that the auto publish should do this for me, but have been unable to get it to generate anything.  When I hit save it is prompting me to do the publish, then after I say yes, it shows a brief status bar as if it is working, but when I try to go to the folder to which the publish option is mapped it is still empty.

AutoCAD Map 3D :: Publish DWF3D With Material?

Feb 22, 2013

I know that function to publish to DWF3D is from AutoCAD but I've only MAP3D software, so I post here.

I've a DTMs using 3D face and a custom materials.

I've cylinders (3D Solid) with material for pipes.

When I publish to DWF3D (DWF format or DWFx format)

 - if I include only 3DFace, material is atttached and visible in ADR2012 (DWFx file size 500Ko)

 - if I include 3DFace and 3DSolid, materials are not included and not visible in ADR (DWFx file size 250Ko)

 - If I explode my 3DSolid to surface and region, materials are not included (DWFx size 250ko)

 - if I convert my 3DSolid to 3DFace, all material are visible in ADR (DWFx size 600ko)

 - If I include 3DFace and 3DSolid, but use Options to select objets, material are included where there is no 3DSolid, but 3Dface above and around 3DSolid have no material.

I've tried from MAP 3D 2012 and MAP 3D2013 (64bit), results are the same. I use ADR 2012 instead of 2013 because there is a bug in relative hyperlinks in ADR 2013. But according to the size of DWFx I think problem is in AutoCAD not in ADR.

Did you succes to publish 3D solid & 3DFace with materials in ADR?

AutoCAD Map 3D :: Publish DWF With Attributes - 2012?

Nov 16, 2011

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'm using Map 2012 SP1 on WinXP SP3.

AutoCad :: Publish Multiple Tabs To PDF

AutoCad :: DWG To PDF Publish Save Location?

Dec 13, 2011

Perhaps I have changed a setting inadvertently, although lately the following has been occurring when using the built in AutoCad DWG to PDF plot:

- if I plot a single sheet, I can choose the save location and it is all good

- if I go file publish and print multiple layouts at once (into the pdf), I am not given the option of where it can be saved, instead it is saved in the location the last pdf was (annoying when that is different job folders etc)

What do I need to change to fix it so I can always choose the save location?
