AutoCAD LT :: Eport To PDF Page Overrides
Oct 3, 2013
I have a layout tab that has a page setup set as current. Page setup name is "Letter_Portrait"
"Letter_Portrait" is set to print on letter-sized paper, portrait orientation, 1:1 scale, to a network printer. Printing this layout to the printer prints perfectly.
When I try to export to pdf using the EXPORTPDF command, the resulting pdf file that is created is clipped. I then try same command, only this time use "Page Setup Override" and change the "Plot Scale" option to "Fit to Paper". I would think that this would solve the clipped pdf file AutoCAD generates. But instead I get the same clipped image.
The only way I have found to get around this is to change the layout's Page Setup scale from 1:1 to "Fit to paper". Shouldn't the PDF Page Setup Override accomplish this without having to change the layout's Page Setup?

I have recently been using Sheet Set Managers (SSM) more recently and have found them quite handy but I am also finding some peculiarities with it too. I have no issues setting up a SSM and getting it to plot all my sheets either to our plotter or to PDF at full size (24x36), however when it comes to setting up a half size (11x17) page setup and overriding to it, is where problems occur.
What I want is a page setup that I can select that will plot 11x17 from 24x36. So, I first created a page setup that does this in our template (.dwt) and then set the page setup overrides file to our template file (under sheet set properties). Next I right-cliked on my sheet set and went to "Publish" and then "Publishing Using Page Setup Override", but the list it populated for me did not reflect all of the page setups we have in our template??? It listed two page steups _24x36 and _30x42 (see attachment). These page setups can be found in our template under page setup manager along with several others which don't show in the overrides (see attachment).
Is there a reason the other page setups aren't coming up in the SSM overrides menu?

Without our office, we set up Sheet Sets for every set of drawings we produce, and we setup Page Setup Overrides specific to those drawings from which we can print. We may setup one for printing fullsize PDFs, another for in-house half-size plots, and another for 11x17 printing. The Overrides are saved on our office network.
We've been having an issue where the plotter(s) in the various Overrides won't work initially when someone other than the creator is printing. That person will have to open up the 'Manage Page Setup Overrides' tab, select 'Modify' for the Override they wish to change, and select the plotter to use in that Override (the plotter always defaults to 'None'). They can publish from that particular drawing set just fine until someone else in the office needs to print using an Override, in which case they go through the same procedure listed above.
We're using network printers only, and we've verified that the printer names, ports, etc. are all the same between the various computers, so different naming or port selection doesn't seem to be an issue.

So I'm having an issue with our sheetset override. I created a override template for a 30x42 sheet size. I created a 30x42 box in paper space and put it on a defpoints layer. In the sheet properties, I have the margins zeroed out. The margins are drawn into the title block. The plot properties are set 1:1 and to extents.
When I plot a sheetset using the above override, the right side of the titleblock gets cut off, around 1/4" to 1/2" at the most. In plot preview, it does not show the edge getting cut off. However, in the plot window, where it visually shows the sheet and if you are exceeding the sheet limits or not, the red box is displayed.
However, when I manually plot the drawing without using the sheetset manager, it plots the sheet fine, but then adds 1/2" on the left side! I'm using the same plot settings as the sheetset override is. Now, when I "publish to plotter" in the sheetset manager, it adds an inch to the left side. In short, using all the same plot settings:
Manual plot = 42-1/2"x30
"Plublish to plotter" using sheetset manager = 43x30.
Using sheetset override = cuts 1/2" off right side.

Each time I open a drawing, on my arrow dimension I get a style override which is always scaled at 96. Even if I delete the style override, when I close the drawing and open it again, it's back. It's always on the "arrow" dimension, never any other dimensions. I don't know why it's been doing this, it just started one day out of nowhere. Is there a way I can get rid of it? I'm using AutoCAD 2005.

i've run into this quite a few times where i would open a drawing and there would be an override on the current dimstyle...i would clear the override and save the drawing...another day i would open the file and the override is created again...
i greatly suspect that the annotation scale is the culprit...when i check the dimstyle override the scale for dimension under the fittab is set to a number reflecting the scale...ie if the annotation is 1"=1'-0" it will be 12...if it's 1/4"=1'-0" it will be 48 etc...
i also noticed that an override is created after editing a dynamic block...
in addition to the above, the override is not created if the anotative scale is the same as the "fit" number...

I am have an issue with the shift overrides not working when there is an image under where i am working.
In the same drawing for example i can use shift to either select more than one point in a polyline, or to change between trim and extend or to fillet with a radius or to a point.
but when i try to do this with an image in the background it doesn't work. I need the image as i am tracing shapes.

I have some drawings with lots of dimensions. Is there a way to check if any have been over ridden or a global way to set all dimensions to model value?

I have a drawings with multiple layouts. In the first layout the whole drawing looks exactly like in does in model space, with reference to the colours. In the other layout the drawings all change colour to what they will look like when printed.
In these other layouts if I copy a viewport the colour returns, but if I change to another layout and back again then it reverts to what the original was. I have attached an image.
The copied vp is the one on top.
Like I said proably a quick fix but I dont know where to start. Is it something to do with Vp colour overrides?

How to use keyboard shortcut to allow for a temporary override of my "Nearest" OSNAP. I often find myself pulling leaders from splines and/or circles and need the "Nearest" OSNAP active.
I was in CUI and saw the temp override shortcut key was setup but inactive as it has no ties to any keys. I also saw others setup with shortcuts keys and decided to give them a demo. While in a line command (for example) i held 'SHIFT + C' to trigger the temp override of "Center." It didn't seem to work. Dynamic input popped up as if i was entering "C."
I want 'SHIFT + N' to be temp override for "Nearest" OSNAP.As a side note, i was able to set up ACAD to zoom extents and close dwg simultaneously with 'CTRL + W' without any hiccups.

Is there a quick way of finding all dimensions with a text override.
I am dimensioning screwed pipe, and want the cut length on the drawing, e.g. a pipe that is 3000mm between center of fitting should show a dimension of 2970. After doing this on a few hundred dimensions I want to check that I have not left any out. i therefore want to check if there is any way to check that they are all overridden.

I make an idw template at home and at work i get this message that says style library will override the listed styles, and enables me to choose if i want to impose the style library or the styles in the template.
I want to impose the styles in the template and the message says that in order to achieve that i have to delete the styles.
Which styles to delete and how?
When i use the purge styles command it's empty.
I understand that duplicate names of styles make the problem, but at home i checked 2 of the styles and found them the same as at work, but maybe i don't remember all the changes.
Is the solution simply to make new styles with new names?

No documentation : remove all property overrides
If I insert a table with our standard table style is is to big, so made a smaller text style, made a new table style with the new text style in it.
And if I insert a new table with the new style its still big...
But... select the table, right click, Remove All Property Overrides... And the text style is OK, only the row height is wrong, so in the table bar - unlocked, select the table again and move the right little triangle up until the rows don't get smaller.

I create MFC enclosures with various gasses. These enclosures can be quite large with three or more gas types. I create view representations with gas name and color the flow path for each gas in the named view. Is there a way to turn on all the colored overrides in one view to see all the various colors at once? I thought MASTER would show all colors but it does not. If not the only way would be to create the view of all gasses on and re-do all the work from all the prevous views.

I want to run one wall just a few inches past another. If I override the Cleanup Radius at the appropriate ends of the walls, setting the radii to a small number (1/2"), shouldn't that allow one wall to be run a couple inches past the other? The attached image shows the end of Wall 2 pulled as close to Wall 1 as I can get it. Both walls have the Cleanup Radius override at 1/2". If I nudge the end of Wall 2 down any further, it jumps down to form a corner with Wall 1.

I have an XREF that I want the lines to appear has color 253.
I go into layer properties and override the layer colors to 253. Some of the lines in the XREF change to 253. Other lines don't because they are not "By Layer" in the xref file.
Is there a setting in autocad that will override these lines that are not "by-layer"?

In 2011 AutoCAD Mechanical, I used to be able to match dimension override properties including the entered text. Not sure how it worked, but the manual entered text would be matched/transferred to the new default dimension. Now using 2012 and this function is not working. This feature is quite handy for the type of work we do. All match property settings are enabled.

We have like 30 different filters and i made a Ipart for each one. Now all of these have different masses and the calculated mass doesn’t reflect this.
Now i can manually add a custom "other" column into the table but it doesn’t work when calculating a assemblies mass. Is there a way to add a mass override into a Ipart table?

When I save layer states overrides for a certain view port and mane it e.g. "K", in layer state manager current layer state is shown as "K", but when I change layout and come back to this one, in layer state manager current layer state is shown as *UNSAVED* again!!!
This results in a great problem. If I update layer state "K" it does not update all view ports that should have layer state "K" automatically so I have to go trough all of them again and apply "K" again and again after any change to "K" is made.
Link to other thread: Apply Layer State Overrides to view ports using filter which, if answered could bypass the problem.

Anyway, I'm trying to build a corridor that targets the existing surface with a linkslopetosurface sub. It works just like I want it to, but there are areas where I want to override the target and have it target an existing curb return alignment. Is there a better sub I should be using that will target one first and then a second if the first doesn't work right?
Also, with my corridor section editor, can I adjust the vertical scale to be exagerated? It's really tough to edit the 1:1 ver./hor. scale.

When I paste data from excel into autocad as 'autocad entities'(paste special) the newly created autocad table does not adhere to the pre-defined table style. Even if I right click on the table and remove overides the text sizes are wrong. I suspect it might be related to some variable, but I don't know which one.

I have added intermediate sample lines in my corridor. These sections appear in the section editor and I can make changes to the data. The changes show correctly in the section editor and section view, however, when I plot the cross sections some of these added stations do not show the overrides. They are showing the original assembly group parameters. How do I get all the cross sections to reflect the edited data from the section editor?

Is there a way to remove the *Model* page setup entry from the list of Page Setups in the Page Setup Manager? This is the first time I am seeing *Model* in the list, and I suspect that it the reason I am not able to generate a PDF for this particular drawing. When I try, I get the following error:
=========================
Job: - Error(s) Did Not Plot
Job ID: 5

==================================================
I have this idea that removing *Model* from the list will do it. In addition to causing PDF creation failure, I believe it is also responsible for forcing the Model to always be in the Publish list, even though I have unchecked the "Include model when adding sheets" option. I can remove it from that list manually, but it comes back every time.

I've created a small group of concrete reinforcing detail components that have graphic overrides to change solid black to solid grey. When I copy the objects or place new groups made from the objects, the graphic overrides reset to original all black.
Is there anyway to get the graphic overrides, which are embedded in the group, to copy into new intances of the group so that I don't have to "undo group" and apply new graphic overrides?

I think I've found a bug via Adobe Edge.
If you have a symbol that has some labels as such
then you add that symbol to stage and have the following code in document.compositionReady
var mySymbolObject = sym.getSymbol("HoverExample");
var targetElement = mySymbolObject.$("backing");
targetElement.css({"background-color":"#111111"});
where mySymbolObject is the symbol on the stage, backing is a rectangle div and the color is different than the original color in the symbol then you add the following code for hitbox (rectangle div that is alpha 0) under Hitbox.mouseover
sym.stop("over");
the end result is that the css from the project, in this case the red background color, gets reapplied on mouseover despite me changing the color on startup.

Trying to change the color of a layer in a viewport (different than the default layer color (i.e. model layer color)). Objects are set to bylayer. Changing the VP color in the layer dialog brings up the color dialog, select a different color, click OK and the VP Color DOESN"T change in the layer dialog. It stays at its previous color. Occurs on several machines.
