AutoCAD Inventor :: Printing To Adobe PDF With Remove Object Lineweights
Oct 15, 2012
I am running Inventor 2013 Professional 64 bit. When I print to an Adobe PDF I have selected "Remove object line weights". The problem I am experiencing is that the result is the same whether it is checked or not. The result I would expect is that the object line weights won't display on the pdf.
I would like to print a drawing with its ctb. file to a format that allows me to import it into illustrator without losing the set lineweights in the original Autocad drawing.
I've tried it once using a pdf writer, but when imported into illustrator it reverts to one line weight for all the lines.
Is there a better way of retaining the assigned lineweights (per the embedded ctb file) ?
will printing it as an .eps instead of pdf do? and how does one print to .eps?
I'm trying to get my HP Officejet Pro 8600 printer to print my drawing when I have set the lineweights. Apparently, it won't show the heavier lines, consequently, all of the lines are the same width.
I have this obect (see attached IPT) with a piece that is cut off from the main object but I can't figure out how to remove it (the piece in the top left in front view).
in Inventor I use my own library with different layers, font types, colors, lineweights etc. In Inventor drawing it works well. But after exporting to DWG only colors of different layers stay the same; all fonts, lineweights change to one (maybe some kind of default) font, lineweight.
How could I repair that, I need drawing in DWG to look like the same as in Inventor. I have tried to use "Configuration" in DWG file exporting option and I have created my own configuration, but it did not work... I simply do not understand how it works. If the "Configuration" in DWG file exporting option is the clue -
acad 2014 will not plot as a pdf. it will plot to the HP plotter with no trouble. but cancels out the pdf. get error message no "startdocprinter" mesage.
Whenever I print from Photoshop CS6 it launches Adobe Preview where the image appears and I can only print from Preview. If I print 'Print One Copy' it does the same thing. I reinstalled printer drivers for my Canon iP4950, looked through preferences in both Photoshop and Preview, and checked the System Preferences, still couldn't see anything obvious. All image files have preferences set to be opened in Photoshop. How to reset this so I can print directly from CS6 Photoshop?
I feel sure some of my settings must be incorrect. I have never had trouble until now. PSE 10 keeps pausing, screen dims and error message " not responding " appears. Also, trouble printing anything that is an Adobe document. All of this started happening at once, so I assume they are connected. make sure my drivers, settings, etc... are correct?
The only way I know to remove the segment of this 3d object in between the orange lines is to slice on each orange line and select to keep both sides which is pretty tedious since I will need to do this every 3 feet over a 170 foot span....is there another easier way to do multiple mortar joints on a 3d object like this?
How can I remove an object I just selected from a selection set? I can't find the setting that allows this. Is it some combination of items check under the selection modes in the options menu?
I'm trying to plot a 3D object but can't remove the hidden lines. On typing "hide" they are removed and appear removed in the plot preview but they still appear in the hard copy.
I cant seem to get the clean command to do anything, it asks whether i want
[Imprint/seParate solids/Shell/cLean/Check/Undo/eXit] so i type "L" it says select object i click the solid it says [Imprint/seParate solids/Shell/cLean/Check/Undo/eXit] again...
I'm using AutoCAD 2013 for Mac, and it works perfectly fine and normal. However, everything I draw, weather its a line, a shape or different objects crossing each other, will have some kind of tag next to it, telling what kind of corner or intersection it is. It's very informative, but they are simply too larger on my display, I hardly get to see what I'm drawing. So frankly I'd love to know how to remove them.
Right now I am working on a Win 7 64 computer and have a Canon MP810 printer. I read the materials on color management and set my color management in "Print" in Lightroom 4 to "managed by printer". My printer color management in advanced settings is set all to defaults. When I print a photo from Lightroom 4, there is a distinct magenta cast to the entire photo, but it's most observable in midtone neutrals. A burnt out section of a lightbulb goes white, for instance, but greys seem to go pinkish, greens to a rust, etc. I also printed the same photo from a windows file, using Windows 7 print mode. That photo seemed to go slightly magenta in the neutrals but not nearly to the same degree. what I might try or test to see if I can get my print colors more accurate?
I tried to use the command "Remove Material" from the rippon, and I get no rsponse, and deleted the material from the palette and yet the material there, How can I get rid of the materials I attached to the walls?
I have been trying to output a drawing from Autocad MAC 2011 to a PDF with lineweights however it only outputs the drawing with the different layer colors and I have assigned each layer a specific lineweight, I have tried making a plot style and I have tried printing in greyscale and I still cant figure it out. Any simple step by step process to plotting in lineweights!
I have LT08 and have one drawing using linestyles and colors to determine lineweight for plotting that just will not plot anything other than a "light" lineweight. I have tried making an all new .cbt, existing .cbt's, changing ALL colors to a heavier weight etc. Nothing is working.
Plot preview is light lineweight, plotting to pdf is light and plotting to the plotter is light. I am not having this problem with any other drawings so there must be something set somewhere in this one file. I did not create the model. Someone else did but I did setup the layout sheet, just like I do other drawings.
I am a student studying architecture and I cannot seem to plot the line weights in my drawing. I'm using a dwg to pdf ploter. The plot styles I have tired, have included monochrom ctb and monochrome 1 to 50 ctb.
I'm trying to plot my drawings and have all my line weights be the same in the final plot so that no line is more bold than another. I do custom home designs and am now adding in additional information that uses different colors for appliances, plumbing, etc.
I'm using the standard red, cyan, magenta, green, 252 gray scale colors, however, when I plot, all of the lines except red are thick and make the objects entirely too bold for my purposes. How do I fix this other than changing everything to red? I didn't have this problem when I worked with AutoCAD 2006 at my old company (we had drafters set up this stuff for us), but now that I'm on my own and trying to get my own plotting figured out, I'm struggling.
I attached an example for reference. It's the windows (gray scaled), plumbing fixtures (cyan), and appliances (magenta) that come out entirely too dark.
I edited a block in a drawing which had exactly the lineweight I wanted in my layout. After I edited it I lost the lineweight. If I try to change the lineweight for that layer it only affects the attribute. What I did and how I can get it back the way it was?
When 4-color process printing (CMYK), how might one remove the black plate from the process, but maintain the same "shade", or very close to, of all process colors?
Top swatch is the original. Bottom is the closes I could get while keeping Black at 0%.
I can open Adobe Illustrator fine, but as soon as I select an object, before I release, the software crashes; if I'm lucky I can move the object, but before I release it, the software crashes.
When you set the lineweight the result is only viewable when you print the drawing, however how is it possible to view the lineweights when I export the drawing to pdf as well.
I'm wondering if there's a way to change/add to the list of available lineweights in the dropdown lists in the layer manager. I want to have a thickness of 0.125", but that isn't available. I found that if I issue the STYLESMANAGER command, I can edit lineweights in existing .ctb/.stb files, but I don't know now to transfer that to be available in an existing drawing. Can I just assign a ctb/stb style to my drawing?
