I have an HP Designjet 800 that is currently loaded with a 36" roll. I'd like to print to ANSI D in a landscape orientation, but D (landscape) isn't an option in the paper size drop down. Printing D in portrait orientation just wastes a bunch of paper space.
How do I change the paper from 22x34 to 34x22? (or vice versa, whichever way I need).
I have a DesignJet T1100ps and a DesignJet Z5400. I have a PDF from a client that has 2 pages that are ARCH D size and 3 pages that are 11x17. All pages in the PDF came from AutoCAD 2013 paper spaces. The plotters are in offices 50 miles apart.
When I print to the T1100 and state pick page size by PDF page size and choose the option actual size the plot print correctly. The plotter will nest the pages and print to scale. I get 2 Arch D pages and 3 11x17 pages.
When I print to the Z5400 the pages get changed to ANSI D pages and get cut off because there are 2 inches of paper missing. If I shrink the plot I can print them so they are not to scale but fit inside the ANSI D size page. This doesn't work when we need scale drawings. The Z5400 and the previous DesignJet 800 both have this issue.
Due to the distance of the printers I can not plot at one office for use at the other. I would like to try and solve the issue via software if possible. So far my only work around is to pick ARCH D in the plotter driver and print all pages to ARCH D by shutting off the option to print pages by PDF page size. This wastes a lot of paper because we print actual size. I can also print one page at a time.
We asked for the drawing and were able to get an original copy but it is GSA and they typically do not provide the originals. If I print form the drawing directly to the plotter from AutoCAD everything comes out the right size. AutoCAD also generates the PDF file correctly according to the page properties.
What might cause Adobe to change our CAD prints in a PDF from the ARCH D size to ANSI D size for this Z5400 plotter?

We replaced a plotter that is used as the default plotter by 90% of our CAD files. When we go to plot it obviously can't find the plotter anymore and defaults to no printer. We then need to select the new plotter and reselect the paper size.
Not a huge issue by itself, but when you have a drawing with say 25 layout tabs it gets cumbersome.
assign this new plotter and correct page size to all layout tabs in a drawing? If not is there a way to at least have it maintain the paper size when selecting the new plotter and not have it auto select a different page size?

View 2 Replies View RelatedRecently migrated from windows to mac os and only using this version on a macbook for now until I feel confident to changeover the studio workstation after many years and trying to find some familiar ways around as I have been used to working on LT2004 (although I have upgraded many times I just never really got on with the newer pallettes etc and revert to the tried and tested version to keep productivity at work)
- Is it possible to config the content pallette so I can rotate blocks at the time of insertion without having to either post rotate them individually from the model space or use the insert command which appears not to be as graphically friendly as the content pallette which looks excellent for compiling good for libraries but the option to at least rotate.
- Is there a quick and easy to changing linetypes on the fly from a flyout menu on the toolsets... is there any other way round this without having to access the pull down from the properties inspector pallette as that method consumes quite a bit of screen space?
DWG configuration? I keep trying different configurations but none are acceptable to our quality department.

I want to have an application settings file stored centrally on a network drive. In the past I have used INI files, and for a Windows app would now use an app.exe.config XML file. My question is: what is the preferred technique for storing shared settings centrally for an AutoCAD .dll plug-in? It seems even for a full Windows app that the app.exe.config file can't be located on a network drive, but I could be mistaken. In any case that doesn't appear an option for a .dll plug-in. Everyone comments that INI files "are so 90s", but I can't see an alternative.

if the users import their old (Acad 2010 Map 3D) files where symbollists and view settings are stored.
After a restart of Acad it hangs up with following Errors (See attached).
We can solve this issue temporary with restoring the defaults.

Is there a way to import such old files?
The best way to have normal AutoCAD objects (lines, plines, arcs) adhere to the Display Configurations.
My original idea was to contain all of the 'vanilla linework' in one Multi-View Block per Construct, thereby enabling me to set the Display Properties for that MVB and have the linework show/hide depending on my Display Config. I end up having to 'edit block in-place' if I want to change anything, which seems to work but there has got to be a better way.
My only other idea was to somehow link Layer Filters (which I'm unfamiliar with, and probably using the wrong term) to the Display Configs so that depending on the current Config, certain layers would be frozen/thawed. This seems like the way to do it, but it is not obvious to me how I might be able to achieve this through the Display Manager.
Our office is currently running Inventor 2012, with SP2 installed (Build 219) and the program still seems unable to fully save and utilize a defualt configuration setting for exporting DXF flat patterns of sheet metal parts. Our laser machine requires AutoCAD 2000 DXF, and while I'm able to save a configuration file (.ini) with this setting, I still have to click on the "Options" button and then click "Finish" or it will save to the standard default AutoCAD 2010 DXF file version and our laser will be unable to read the file.

I never print metric so there is no need to for it.
I am about to do some reconfiguring of my system so I figured I'd find the best way to optimize for Photoshop.
I currently have Windows (and page file), Photoshop (and all other apps) and data on my C: drive (7200 RPM - 80 gigs of free space). My D: drive is a separate physical drive (not a partition) with 45 gigs of free space. I store photos and music here and use it as my Photoshop Scratch disk.
I am buying a new 500 gb USB drive to use as storage (for things like photos and music) and backup. All of the contents of the D: drive will be moving to the new drive thus leaving me with 80 gb of free space on the D: drive.
My questions:
1. Should I continue to run Photoshop on the same drive as my OS?
2. I plan to move my 'data' (files I edit with Photoshop or Illustrator etc.) to my D: drive. Is this OK or should it be on the same drive Photoshop is on?
3. Assuming I move my data to my D: drive... I read that Photoshop berforms best when its Scratch Disk is an empty, unfragmented disk with plenty of room. Since I do not have an empty hard drive to spare, which will yield better performance:
A. Partition my D: drive (which will leave me with D: and E. Use D: for my .PSD and .AI files. Use E: as my Photoshop Scratch Disk
or
B. no partition. Use D: for my .PSD and .AI files as well as for my Potoshop Scratch Disk

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have to make a roll of tape in Inventor, but I'm not too familiar with/used to the program. It's the small invisible adhesive tape, like the kind you'd find in office. So far, I sketched and extruded the plastic part the tape gets wrapped around, which is basically just a small tube. I also have a rectangle that's really long for the actual tape part, and that's extruded but very thin. they're both made as standard.ipt files. I opened a standard.iam file to put them together using constraints, but I'm not exactly sure how. I have the edge of the rectangle on the outside of the circle, so I just have to wrap it around. I'm assuming I just bend the rectangle (tape) around the circle (plastic part), but I don't know how to do that.
