AutoCAD Architecture :: Printing PDF Binders
Sep 6, 2013
I just spent a ton of money to upgrade from 2008 to autocad architecture 2014, the pdf maker in 2014 suck, I send the pdf files out to my clients or the city planing and the reject it, it's not readable, text and line work are both bad, the only way I can get good PDF files is to save my drawing back to 2008 and print them to Adobe, there they print and bundle fine. it looks like I spent a lot of money for nothing. Autodesk get back with Adobe and do the right thing.

I've got a .PDF of a survey attached (not overlayed) to my site plan construct...on a printable layer. In my sheet it shows up. When I print preview it's there. When it comes out of the plotter it's not there. If I print the PDF by itself through Acrobat it prints fine. Is there a bug here?

I am trying to get my first 3d print of a model and am having problems getting it into a format that the printing service can use. I've read up and attempted stlout, 3dprint, and export commands to no avail. I get the message that the objects need to be 3dsolids or watertight meshes.
After reading all the hype on 3d printing and being very excited about it, I"ve got to say that I'm a bit overwhelmed with the steps it appears one has to take to get an architectural model to print.
The model is made with aca 2012.

Suddenly, each time that I attempt to plot or print a drawing I get the message "Errors or Warnings Found". I open it up and it shows that the plot has been cancelled. I have run all of the "traps" that I know but to no avail.

We run a Canon ipf655... and as far as I can tell, it won't collate by itself - it gets its information from whatever application one's running. In this case, we are running Autocad 2013. I am trying to figure out a way to print an entire job (say, 30 sheets) without having to open up each and every page and print singly. That's what we do now, and apparently have done for the last 15 years; so if my boss requests a copy of the yadda yadda set from 6 mos ago, we have to go back, open up the cover page, open up every other page, and print them in order.
Is there some way to either save all these individual pages as a "job" or something and then print that "job", or otherwise to instruct the program to print 30 pages in whatever order? Each page is definitely set up differently, with different scales and window sizes and such, but it seems like once each page is set up to print properly, one should be able to print a slew of pages without such painstaking time spent.

I have an HP workstation Z220 with OS Windows 7 64 bit. I have installed my printer HP Laserjet Pro CM1415nf using the original CD Drivers and have also installed AutoCAD Architecture 2011 and 2013.
When trying to print from both AutoCAD versions to the printer, the application crashes and I need to close the program. When I try to print to a different printer everything is ok. I have checked for updated drivers of the printer and downloaded from HP site by the problem is still there.

I have a simple model of two desk units. I also have a large rectangular area under them with a carpet texture applied. The desks each have two textures/materials applied. I am rendering to a viewport at 640x480, with shadows on and "high" quality. I have 4 point light sources in the model. When I render to viewport, it all looks great. But when I plot or plot preview, all of the detail/textures/materials in the horizontal surfaces are gone and it plots as completely white in those areas and also shows it white in plot preview.
Attached are two images. RENDER A is a screenshot of the correct image rendered on screen and RENDER B is a screenshot of the plot preview screen showing the white areas (which is also how it really prints).

From my project manager > views, I select a view, it opens in model. I change to paper space and have my plan and an isometric view (in wire frame). I go to view and select shaded with edges. Perfect, colors on both plan and isometric are where I want them, now I want to print this.
I select my print icon and change my paper size select my printer. I select extents, center the plot and fit to paper. I preview.. And my color disappears. What.. Am I doing wrong. Should I be making my paper representations from a different start?
Yesterday.. I was trying to do the same thing.. But starting with the drawing in constructs. I end up with the same, my isometric drawing looses most of its color, the windows have color as does one layer (a line showing the outline of the floor under). The plan drawing has most of the colors but some of the layers are black where in the model they have color. To further complicate the problem.. The same procedure making a first floor drawing has the plan in complete color.

I just recently noticed that when I print documents from Revit Architecture, they are printing smaller than the scale size they are set to. I verified with a couple of different scale settings against a good old fashioned scale ruler. It seems to be consistently incorrect.

I updated my computer to windows 7 32 bit and need the file: AdskHwCertificationDatabase.xml - version 17.1.0.4 so that I can find out the correct driver for my OS and my quadrofx 1700 graphics card. Autodesk doesn't support 2008 Architecture and the on;y file I can find is buried in a torrent file with a pirated copy of 2008 and I DO NOT wish to download that.

Im currently using Autocad Architecture, is it true that Autocad Architecture creates a bigger file size compared to Revit Architecture? Lets say that same structure and components are created.

The content browser in AutoCAD Architecture 2013 does not seem to be working on a standard users computer. The profile has been rebuilt alongside a repair/reinstall through the control panel.
Ctrl+4
Tools > Content Browser
and typing content browser in the command do not result in anything.

I do not get why new Archicad Architecture has 3d modeling when Revit architecture already provided for it. What is the different between those two? I really want to know the difference. It bothers me somewhat about them.

How do I convert the colour profile of a Lightroom custom printing package from Adobe Prophoto to sRGB before printing? For that matter, how do I save the thing? I have no interest in saving the template, or the collection separately, since neither has any use without the other. And without saving them as one finished item, I have no way to convert the colour profile of that item. I can see clearly from the appearance of the print preview that the above mentioned colour profile conversion is required.

Often when I attempt to insert a sheet list from the project navigator to a sheet, nothing happens. The sheet index will not insert. Why does this happen? Better yet, how can I fix it?

I have come across an issue that is sending me into a brain fart. In my drawing I import charts from PDF files using the snapshot tool as technical reference charts. The import works great and show up in the drawing, however when I go to plot the file the PDF chart does not show up.

Just had a major problem trying to print to PDF.I have adobe pro v7 on my machine, I have just tried to print to PDF as I have done a hundred times before. I always print to A3 and them email my the pdf.I have changed nothing since I did this a day ago. Now trhe drawings plot to PDF but they are off the page in the pdf view.
Also why we are on the subject, I have put adobe pro ver 7 on my laptop running win 7 and the PDF printer does not show up in AutoCad, Excel or word. How do I get it to show as I may have to switch to using the laptop untill I get the other prob sorted.

I am running Auto Cad 2012. For some reason that I can't figure out when I try to print the last few jobs, they are are printing too small. For example I setup paperspace for 24 x 18. Blow out the project to fit in the entire space. The printer, which by the way is an HP Designjet T2300, pulls out enough paper but the actual job is smaller. It has happened with a few different projects. If I print to a PDF then print the project from Acrobat...it's fine. I am quite baffled. Never did this before. Everything was fine up until a few days ago.

I am a bit new at 3D drawings, for many years it's been only 2D files used for .dxf purposes. My method is using "3D face" and them "extruding" to the size I want. When I view my layout or model, my 3D objects appear to be solids, but show some transparency. When I preview or print, they only come out as lines. How can I make these objects solid and print them?

I have drawn a genealogy chart in Autocad. I would like to overlay it on an image of an old parchment scroll. I have it done in Autocad 2004, but I can’t print it. When I try to print, it only prints the chart drawing and not the scroll underneath.

I have a question about printing an autocad drawing. Currently I have two drawings on the model tab. I have drawn them both 1:1.
Now I need to print them both out on a same A3 paper, with different scales. The other one will be printed in 1:100 and the other in 1:50.
I have drawn a pretty good amount on autocad but this is my first time printing/plotting so I am asking for pretty specific instructions.

I just found out that the last couple of drawings I have produced/worked on all have incorrect dimensions on them. I have spent a couple hours scouring the internet and cannot find any fixes.
My dimensions all work, and add up to what I am drawing, but when I print the sheet everything is out of scale. I have attached a simple drawing as an example. I drew a 190mm line and printed it 1:100. When I measure the line it comes to just over 4.8mm.

I work for a demolition company and and trying to print off site plans, sent to us by clients (which are drawn in CAD, but sent to us as pdf's), to scale on an A1 printer.
The documents being sent to us are supposedly to scale @A1. I have tried printing both in adobe and bluebeam but both programmes seem to lose accuracy and consistency between drawings.
What is the easiest and cheapest way of measuring, then printing pdfs to an accurate scale.

This is a file that I created by tracing a .PDF file. I completely detached the .PDF file. I x-ref the file into another file in model space and slap some notes on it. I then make a view port in the layout and I see everything perfectly fine. But when I print I only see the notes and not part of the x-ref file.
I thought the .PDF file might have corrupted the file so I copy and pasted the lines into a new file but even then the x-ref does not print. I checked the layers, they are all set to print.
