AutoCad :: Plotter That Produces Highest Quality Files?

Oct 7, 2011

I'm using a post script 2 plotter I created for producing EPS files which I then convert into PDF's via Adobe programs.

Am I right in assuming it produces the highest quality line drawings? or would it be quicker and as satisfactory plotting with the default 'DWG to PDF' that comes with AutoCAD 11?

AutoCad :: New Plotter Configuration

Jul 25, 2011

So we have a new plotter at work, and I am trying to use it with the publish command. However, because all of our old drawings are saved with our old plotter name, choosing the new plotter isn't an option for all of our old dwgs that havent been set up using the new plotter name. Since our dwgs number in the 1000s, going through each one and renaming them would be impracticable.. but having to individually plot each one is pretty impracticable as well..

So I tried to figure out a workaround, by opening up our new template that has the new plotter configuration on it, hoping I would be able to use it to set all the old dwgs that I have open at the time to the new plot setting.. but the printer name comes up as something different when I try to use it for publish, and if I use it, I get an error and nothing prints. I know the settings used in the new template work, I have been able to print it out. So what I'm asking is, is there anyway I can use the new plotter to publish all of our old drawings?

AutoCad :: Plotter On A Network?

Dec 28, 2011

using a plotter on a network. I moved all my plot styles to a folder on the network where everyone can use them and pointed the path on each station. My only problem now is that each station seems to have the drivers ect.. for the plotter on stand alone stations. What happens if I open a dwg on my station and then close it and go to another station I get warning that drivers are not found,the device can not be found. Do I need to copy the driver and device folders to the network and have the settings on each PC point to that folder.

I have recently installed a computer system and the Plotter the client is using is a Canon W7200; Canon have refused to release any updated drivers and there were never any previous 64bit drivers that were created for this piece of hardware.

Are there any Universal Plotting Drivers? or a Generic one that can be used with all Canon Plotters?

AutoCAD Architecture :: Add A Plotter Without The Wizard

Aug 30, 2011

The Add-A-Plotter Wizard has become corrupted, and will not run on any computer in the office.  We get a message about missing DLLs.  I think I used to know how to add plotters "by hand", before the Add-A-Plotter Wizard existed.  Can I still do this, and if so, how?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Plotter Configuration Cannot Be Used

Mar 7, 2013

Since we've migrated to Windows 8 64b we have problems wih plotting some layouts. If I select my plotter it automatically goes to none after selecting and sometimes I get the following error message:

Most of the times I can use the plotter in the other layouts / drawings, but sometimes I have to restart AutoCAD or reboot the computer before the plotter works again. In some layouts we keep getting this problem even after reboot. I've tried reinstalling the plotter (with different drivers), tried different computers, purge and recover the drawings but no luck. The Plotter is a HP Designjet 800.

AutoCad :: How To Alter Default Plotter

Feb 15, 2013

How to alter AutoCADs' default plotter so that when I "publish" it will be the plotter that I use here most commonly in the office and I can use the default name given so I do not have to do a "page setup" every time I want to plot more than one page. I would like to select the pages that I am interested in publishing and go.

(also, I am using AutoCAD 2013 LT so LISP's are not a possibility)

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Eliminating A Plotter

Jun 14, 2011

I recently stopped using my HP755 plotter and am now plotting "dwg to pdf". The problem is when I go to plot I get a warning message stating that "this plotter configuration cannot be used" and it goes on to list a few reasons why and selects the "none" plotter. Then when at the plot setup page I can continue to plot as I normally would. Why am I getting this warning and how do I stop it?

AutoCAD LT :: Incorrect Default Plotter Configuration For Mac

Mar 23, 2012

Whenever I attempt to print, I get the warning message below referring to a printer that I do not have.  I presume it's an AutoCAD default setting, but I cannot find any place allowing me to change this default.  It eventually prints, since as the warning message says, it then substitutes my Mac's default printer, Is there any way to change the AutoCAD setting.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Update Layouts To New Plotter?

Nov 9, 2012

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?

AutoCad :: Plotter Doesn't Print Out Colors

Jul 18, 2012

I have just installed AutoCAD 2012 and a HP Deskjet 510 plotter. The plotter does not print out the colours in true colour i.e. when the line on the CAD file should print in red, it is actually printing out in orange. There are also problems with other colours not printing out as they should.

I have printed PDF documents to the plotter and using this route the colours will print as they should so the problem is not plotter related. I suspect its something to do with the AutoCAD

I used to be able to select 2 separate printers and a PDF'ing option but all of a sudden they are missing?
