In one file Civil 3D keeps crashing when I wan't to publish multiple layouts to pdf.
I have publish in background turned off and I am using Civil 3D 2013
When it crashes I get the following Error message:
FATAL ERROR: Unhandled Access Violation Reading 0xddadd6d8 Exception at 771d8359h
I am having issues with the publishing command.
When I plot a single tab the frozen layers in the viewport do not plot, which is correct. But when I publish the same tabs the frozen layers in the viewports all plot.
noticed that the file size of pdf's created using the publish command in C3D 2014 are much larger than files created using 2013? I'm talking twice the size in some cases. I've gone through the settings and found no differences, but there must be something I'm missing. When I use the plot command on a single layout, the file sizes are similar, so there must be something in the publish command.

I'm trying to incorporate in my new workplace the Sheet Set in our plan production.
But one of the powerfull thing of the SSM is to publish multiple (or single) sheets at a time.
Well, i tryed it since a few months in and out publishing via the style sheet on the sheet set template i'm building and it doesn't print.
The publishing icon in the status bar of civil 3d 2012 keeps on going for ever !!! (Even when i cancel the job, it doesn't stop the icone, like it's jamed)
Btw, even if i pass by a drawing that isnt in the SSM and choose several layouts to publish it does the same thing too.
I use to do this on a 2008 version of Autocad.

When publishing a drawing set, I have a printer set up which creates KIP plotfiles. In LDD 2007, there was no issues. After upgrading to Civil3D 2013, when publishing to plotfiles, all sheets are merged into 1 plotfile, which is unusable.Seems like a bug in the publishing component. Publishing to PDF or DWF gives the option of merging all files or creating individual files.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen publishing a sheet set some of my annotation labels are not showing up. If I open the sheet, they are there, set to print and everything is correct. If I print just that sheet, everything is fine. Only happens in publish. It's almost like the publish command isn't giving the drawing enough time to open and load everything before printing.

When using the Civil 3D 2013 "publishpartcontent" command it ask me to save the .content file but when creating the png it outputs an error in the command line. When I go to bring in the content in the catalog edditor I recieve an error saying .content file units do not match catalog. I have tried bring the part into both metric and imperial catalogs and recieve the same error. I also tried creating just a cylinder soli in a new draiwing and publishing the content file, I still recieve the error when it tries to create the .png but when I load it into the catalog it works. Is there any way to set the units of the solid within civil 3d before creating the .content file.

I have a large scale industrial project with multiple road profiles and sections sheets. I find that when I plot my drawings manually by opening the drawing everything comes out fine. But when I publish the drawings manually or thru Sheet Set Manager, it shifts my vertical curve labels on my profiles down, which then conflicts with the profile linework (see attached image). Unfortunately manually plotting these drawings is not an option. Because of the amount of information in each drawing it takes 3-4 mins to open and we have 200+ drawings in a single set of drawings, which we have multiple sets of drawings for the project.

These are always over/ in viewports. They do NOT show up in plot preview. I tried plot and publish. Both give same results. When zoomed in you can see they are tiny little viewport control dialog boxes that seem to have been placed on the plot at random.

But I have to go and manually rename the files to remove the "- Model". Is there a way to change this while publishing? Or am I stuck with this file naming convention?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe seem to be unable to overwrite a PDF that we created with AutoCAD when PDFing anew with AutoCAD. In other words, I "Plot" a file in AutoCAD and PDF it as "New File A". When I later realize I made a drafting mistake and want to overwrite it, when I "Plot" it says the file is in use or write protected or something of that nature so I have to PDF it as "New File B" and then manually delete "New File A" and then rename "New File B". I might add I do not have to close AutoCAD to do this.

"Your request could not be complete due to an unexpected problem. Turn off background plotting and try to plot again".
I'm currently setting up the sheet templates for our office to include page setups for the various sheet sizes (Arch D, Arch E, Arch E1) and output types (full size, half size, 11x17).I have created a PC3 file for each sheet size and output (ArchD full size and ArchD halfsize use separate PC3's) to best utilize the paper sizes made available to us. After testing from my machine, I went to test it from another users computer and ran into problems.The trouble doesn't lie with plotting to our plotter, in fact it works everytime. The trouble is when publishing to CutePDF. When I open the file on this users machine, I can't even click the page setup for the CutePDF. It continually defaults to None.
I've copied all the PC3 files (yes, I even created one for CutePDF) to this users machine, but still cannot get the page setup to work.I've always thought that defaulting to the None plotter was an indicator that your machine doesn't have the correct PC3 file, but that shouldn't be the case in this instance.
When Publishing multiple drawings to a Xerox Plotter, only the first sheet prints. Works on the other 3 machines in the office,just not working with the new machine just set up. Can't seem to find anything that would cause this to not print the whole job.

One of the PM's I work with is having problems getting to the Publish Options. He needs to change the Layer option to Publish with Layers but he is unable to get the Publish Options window to open and not lock up his AutoCAD. I also had him try to go through the Options-Plot & Publish and see if that would give him any other result. We have rebooted the PC and tried to launch AutoCAD and then try with no luck.
I've been using autocad for quiet a few years, I can do most of what i want but I might be missing some basic knowledge. I've been creating some template for drawing which include different layout A4, A3, landscape and portrait.
If I use plot/print using cutepdf or adobepdf as a printer the results are good (print the same than the preview).But when I use publish using dwg to pdf then my layout are shifted to the right outside of the printing boundary.
when I publish to PDF, CAD automatically names the PDF file as the drawing name and then the tab name eg, Radome Lighting Mounts - 22-095 with the Radome Lighting Mounts being the drawing name and 22-095 being the name of the layout tab.
My question is, are you able to reverse this so that the file name of the PDF reads 22-095 - Radome Lighting Mounts?
has something changed in 2011 controlling prompts to save pdfs when publishing from sheetset manager?? im using page overrides, which uses dwg to pdf.pc3 file. it publishes but no prompt for file name. i have checked the sheetset publish options and it is set to multiple & prompt for file name, however it still doesnt prompt and saves it in the folder nominated. where else is this controlled?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have no problems publishing to one file from multiple tabs, or plotting to multiple single files named after each tab. I want to batch plot to a single file with bookmarks named after each tab in my AutoCad file. I would think that it would name each bookmark "Filename-TabName" as it goes down the batch plotting (publishing) list. Right now, I print to individual files and combine. This creates bookmarks for each filename like I want, but I have to name my tabs in order, or re-order everything each time which is time consuming.
Is there a setting to create bookmarks as you print to a single file that are named after each tab? This would be cool and very useful. I cannot imagine that I am the only one who wants this.
Is there a limit to how many drawing files one can send when using the publish command? Using ACAD 2010.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI just created an empty Fastenal Library, and it is set to Read/Write. We order most of our fasteners from them, but not much else, so I used "Copy Category Structure To" Fastenal. I created a plain washer to add to the library, but when I try to publish it, I can't get it to work.
When I "Publish Part," I select Fastenal and English, then am asked to select a category to publish to. The Washers folder is greyed out, along with most other folders, but the Ball sub folder is not. I can't select Plain, which is what I need, but I can select Ball.
Also, is there a way to delete sub folders? I right click on Pins or Rivets, and the option to Delete Category is greyed out.
I've started having a problem with the Publish command when publishing multiple drawings to PDF.
When I plot a drawing using the plot command, I don't have a problem.
When I publish one drawing using the Publish command it is also fine.
It is only when I try to publish multiple files that the problem occurs- the PDFs are produced, but the it is as if the drawing contents (paper space) has been shifted up by 10mm or so, cutting off the top of the drawing, and creating a larger margin at the bottom of the drawing. I use exactly the same page setup as for the single drawing plot.
There seems to be no setting that would change this, and the fact that publishing a single drawing works suggests that there is some kind of bug. At the moment i have to plot every drawing individually (or get my colleague to do it- it works fine on his machine, same page setup file!)
See attached example.
I seem to be having an issue publishing multiple layouts into a single PDF.
All the layouts are setup to plot to 'Adobe PDF' and in the Publish options I have set 'Publish to: Plotter named in page setup' as well as 'Multi-sheet file'. When I click OK I'm prompted for the filename for each layout and have to save them as separate files.
The only time it does work is when I choose 'Publish to: PDF' which I guess uses AutoCAD's internal 'DWG to PDF' method. Is my preferred method an Adobe issue or is it fixable through AutoCAD?
when I publish multiple layouts to a single pdf. When I publish all the files at one time the right side of the drawing where the title block is cut off about an inch and does not show the complete title block. Publishing to a printer as a multiple batch or publishing the layouts one at a time to pdf does not exhibit this problem.

A colleague of mine is having the following problem: He has a dwg file (AutoCAD 2010), with all layouts set to a custom sheet of 8.5" x 13" (215.9 mm x 330.2 mm). When he makes the publish to PDF (that is AutoCAD's default PDF option), he gets all the sheets in a ginormous size: 900 mm x 1,600 mm (35.4" x 63"). See image attached.Picture1.jpg
He keeps asking me the favor to publish it, which I do without problem. I have to say that I am using AutoCAD 2012, but before I posted, I tried using yet another PC runing 2010 and there was also no problem at all.
He is able to publish regular size documents without problem. It appears to be just that one file, but only on his PC.
We have some users that get the message attached when they publish and plot. How do we stop it?

View 6 Replies View RelatedAfter using vault for a while I think we are ready to start publishing some of out drawings rather than looking them up each time the shop needs them. I would like to go through the drawings in the Vault and select the files I want published. This would not be all the drawings available. I would also like to be able to select files to publish or not as I check them in. I am able to set the folder to publish too, But I do not see how to publish the files. Where to find the settings to control this function?
View 8 Replies View RelatedPublishing to PDF as single sheets for insertion into other documents or page managers (such as Indesign) works fine, apart from the fact that it makes crappy work of JPGs should any be embedded in the CAD file. Plotting individually using high quality PDF settings also works but it's difficult with large sets.
Therefore, I would like to publish a tab set to PDF using the plotter named in page setup. However, what this does, is it forces me to pick the file name and locaiton each time, rather than using the one specified in the publish dialog. Is there a way around this? That is, can I make the named plotter behave like the "DWG to PDF" one (that is, name the files automatically)?
If not, can I make the "DWG to PDF" one not compress JPGS?
As to why - I work in a mac environment and everyone draws in Illustrator. I use CAD and many times, for large projects, need this sort of page management. And every once in a while, I need to insert a rendering into a CAD document and then publish.
Am publishing dwgs / saving as .pdfs / Preview looks good, but when I plot, one line of text appears as series of dots and the error msg from Adobe is close to "Cannot find ArialMT font, some text may not format or print correctly...."
My co-workers have no problem publishing these same dwgs from their workstations, however. Also, there are several text objects / boxes in the dwg, and they all print fine 'except' for the one.
Restarting etc., doesn't make any difference. Neither does plotting in Preview or Draft and so on.
