AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Error When Plotting By Window?
Mar 11, 2013
When Civil 3D 2013 came out I downloaded it and installed it. I imediately discovered that when selecting my window during plotting by window, if I zoomed or panned I would not be able to pick any points and would have to hit escape SEVERAL times to get it to exit out of the selection command. AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013 Hotfix 1 solved the problem and all was good.
When our office decided to all move to 2013 last month (DEC 2012) I installed it on the workstations then installed the AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013 Service Pack 1 skipping the hotfix. I assumed it was included (WHICH IT STATES THEY ARE IN THE README). Sadly I was wrong because we are experiencing the same issue all over again. All of our workstations that installed 2013 and then SP1 without installing the Hotfixes.
I have tried to install Hotfix 1 on these workstations but it doesn't install on the SP1 version AND there is no way to uninstall SP1 without uninstalling Civil 3D all together.
We need this to get fixed sooner than later because it is a major hassel to lock up everytime we go to plot.

When plotting profile plan sheets, there is an error in the scaling of the grids. I can not seem to figure out why the plotter is not plotting correctly. I did try creating a pdf of the plan sheet and plotting, but still have the same scale error. It starts to get off scale after about 500 feet, so the error in scale is small, but still there. It is off by about 2 or 3 feet at 500 feet on the profile grid.

am using ACAD2008 on windows XP. I have just started having this problem that if I choose to plot from a window the plot dialogue box locks up after the window is selected and the command line is still asking for the corners of the window to be selected. But everything plots ok if I use extents.

I get a AutoCAD LT Error Aborting window with the contents FATAL ERROR: Unhandled Access Violation Reading 0x0034 Exception at 265d985fh when I attempt to plot using a custom created border that is imported into paper space using a .dwt file for a new drawing.
The error occurs with both 2013 LT and a fresh install of 2014 LT and is limited to one computer / user with another computer / user with the same software not having the issue using the same .dwt file.
The error occurs when plotting to any plotter including the DWG to PDF plot selection.

When I go to plot to pdf in cad (using pdf complete) everything seems fine (preview, settings etc). Then when I click print no box pops up with the option to save the file in a location with the result that there is no resulting pdf file?!
I have looked on the web and asked around the office and no one seems to be able to figure this one out. I have also tried the command FILEDIA with no success. The computer has no problem printing to a printer and this problem seems only to exist using pdf complete.

I am using AutoCad 2000 on Windows XP - and have had no problems for years. today - I went to print out a drawing, and when clicking on plot - or plot preview, it gave me: Fatal Error: Unhandled Access Violation Reading 0x0000 Exception at 5e2c36h. I thought it was just this one file, but none of the existing drawings I open will print. And they have always printed.

I'm trying to automate plotting DWG to make PDF.
My File :
My DWG has one model and one paperspace with view of the model.
Each view can have many viewport and has a cartridge.
My Goal :
I want a PDF File. One view per page.
My method :I have an intermediate step, which create many Postscript File(One per View)
The second step use GhostScript to concate PS Files in a PDF.
The steps:
1st step : Read DWG File to create script file, in order to automate plotting with AccoreConsole.exe. My method give me the point for plotting in a window with both corner.
2d step : Use the Script File and Software like (TRUEVIEW or ACCORECONSOLE(Autocad 2013) to create PS Files.
Last step : Run GhostScript to make my PDF File as I wish.
Problem :
Old method It works with DWGTrueView, but I would like a silent mode for executing.
Solution ==> use AccoreConsole.exe include in Autocad 2013
New method Using Accoreconsole with a ProcessStartInfo, I realized that accoreconsole.exe can raised error that DWGTrueView didn't raised.
It works with some files, but sometimes, it's crashed, and I don't understand why.For exemple, a file that succeed with DWGTrueView

I have an OLE object in my drawing (a screen shot of a map) There is line work in the drawing as well. When I send it to the plotter it comes out looking great, exactly as shown on my screen. However, when I plot to PDF the OLE objects don't show up but the linework and hatching do.

I'm having a problem plotting to pdf (using ScanSoft Pdf Pro 4) causing Autocad Civil 3d: Infrastructure Design Suite.
When I plot in Civil 3d 2009 I have no problems but we recently switched to Autocad Civil 3d: Infrastructure Design Suite and when I try to plot a pdf 24x36 it looks correct in the plot preview but my final pdf size comes out 36x36. I have tried everything I know...
Create a new sheet size
I can't just save as an earlier version and plot in C3d 2009 because my alignments gets screwy.

I'm having trouble plotting a symbol over a line. For example, I'm doing a corner record and need to put our symbol for a set pipe on the corner of the property line. Our symbol for a pipe is just an open circle. I want to put the circle on the corner and do not want the the property line to be shown inside that circle. Essentially I want to make it look like I trimmed the line inside the circle but I want to leave the line intact so there is no gap in the boundary. What is the way to do something like this?

I have 64 bit machine, Windows 7, kipp plotter, and two sharp printers.
When I send a sheet set manager plot to any of my output devices I get an autocad error. That boots me out of Autocad. I have used this in the past with 32 bit machine, Windows XP , kip plotter and two sharp printers and have had no issues. It worked great.

I have two sheet files (files which reference other drawings/data and contain multiple layouts) which do not plot correctly in a batch. Upon opening the files all profile surfaces (existing and proposed) do not display. I run SYNCHRONIZEREFERENCES to make the profiles show up. I would love a solution to that, but that's a different topic. So now the profiles show up, in all tabs and even in a plot preview. However if I try to run the Publish command and print all tabs to either .pdf, .dwf, or the plotter the profiles do not show up. I must go to each and every tab and plot the sheets individually.

I 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.

Since we updated to C3D 2012, our background masks are not plotting.They show up and seem to work properly in both Model and Paper spaces as well as print preview.
They do not plot whether it is selected through the MText dialog or in an Object Label dialog box.
I have made sure the draw order was correct and made sure that the "Lines Overwrite" option is selected.
This is happening on all three of our workstations which are a mix of XP and Win 7. We are printing to a KIP 3000 and I have made sure the drivers are up-to-date.

I'm using Civil 3D 2012. When it generates labels (alignment stationing, profile station & elevation, etc.), it keeps generating them in layer 0. It does not matter how I change the styles to the layer that I want.
It allows me to change the properties of the labels to the layer that I want after the labels have been generated. They look ok on my computer screen.
However, when I plot the plans, the labels do not follow the lineweights that the layer should be on. I think it still plotting as if it was layer 0. If I explode the labels, I can get them to plot correctly by changing the layer.

I have an HP DesignJet T1200. We are using AutoCad Civil 3D to plot large files that were exported from PLS CAD. These files contain multiple ECW's that average 5-10 megs each. Is there a customization we need to set to get the plotting time down.
Currently it takes 8-10 min for AutoCad to process the plot and once it is sent it takes another 8-10 min for the plotter to start plotting.This is telling me that there is something wrong with our setup. (see below)
workstations = DELL T3500 with Windows XP Pro; Intell Xeon 320GHz; Nvidia Quadro 4000/2g onboard RAM; 4g system RAM
Plotter = HP DesignJet T2100 on network
We usually have projects that contain 150-200 drawings that we need to work on and plot per project. This plotting time is killing our productivity!

We use Excel quite often in Civil 3d. Every now and then a system or drawing will randomly begin printing the OLE with inverted colors. ie black box with white text. Restarting sometimes works.. Sometimes not. is there a variable for it?

I want to "remove line weights" when plotting. But I want to keep my title block wording and a certain text within the drawing dark or "thicker". What would be the greatest approach to this.

I 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.

I’m a student in a land surveying program using AutoCAD Civil 3D 2012. When I try to plot my DWG to a PDF my line weights are not plotting accordingly to the layers. For instance, Layer 1 is set at 0.7mm line weight, Layer 2 is set at 0.3mm but when it plots to PDF they all look similar. I have double checked the options on the plotting screen and I can get the line weights to plot correctly on different drawings with similar settings. I’m wondering if the issue has something to do with the fact that the particular lines that are not plotting accordingly are parcel segments.

I am using Civil 3D 2011 because of a contract. Monday I created the View Frames and cut the sheets. As of this morning everything was printing properly. Over the day I added alignment labels to the sheets and other call outs, and now the Match Line text is not printing.
I have moved the match line object to the top of the drawing order, double checked the layer to verify that it is not set to no plot, and verified that the xref with the match line is on the top of the drawing order.
Attached is a screen capture of the corner PDF I plotted.

I've been working in C3D for about 5 yrs now, and one thing that drives me absolutely nuts about it is how to get the correct layers to display when plotting different sheets out of the same drawing, regardless of the layer state of my model. I worked in Terramodel for about 5 years prior to coming back to AutoCAD and became spoiled by the ease with which layers displayed on different sheets in the same drawing. You assigned a layer state to the viewport and that viewport always plotted that way.
It didn't matter what layers were on or off, frozen or thawed in the model view, once you jumped over to the sheet it always looked the same once you set it up. In C3D I've tried viewport overrides, jumping into the viewport and setting the layers then saving the layer state... All sorts of different approaches, but I've never found anything that really works. My projects are typically small enough that I have all of my sheets in the same drawing but want different layer settings on different sheets.

I am having problems plotting out parcels and creating label settings. I think I am missing an important concept in the object and display tab of setting creation. I am not finding going through the documentation. What I have found is not well explained.
I started with the OOB alignment settings. I noted that the Basic setting has a description that states the object will take on the settings of the layer it is created on.
I noted that if I adjusted the alignment properities to "Basic". I could then move the 'roadway' alignments to P-RD-CL and the swale alignments to P-SWALE-CL. Freezing the P-SWALE-CL then turns off the swale CL's, but keeps the roadway ones on.
I am looking for a fast way to determine which styles this works for or the area of the documentation that better explains how this works.
I am starting to explore creating label styles the same way. That way I can double or triple label pipe networks such that identical styles are labeled on an E&S layer and a PCSM layer and the individual lables can be dragged on the two different sheet layouts in the same file to avoid text over writes.
