I have set up a layout tab to print to 22x34. I would like to be able to print it at half scale on an 11x17. So when I print it I set the scale to 1:2. However, even though it prints fine on a 22x34, two edges of my border are cut off when I print to an 11x17. I'm not sure whats causing it, I have tried printing using layout, window, display, and extents but it hasn't worked.

I want a sheet size that is 24x36, not ansi D of 22x34. I can create it in the Edit Sheet dialog, but then the titleblock reports "Custom Size (inches)", not "D".

The error I get is
"ERROR: The current device does not support the requested media size."

I have a copy machine that staples automatically but i dont want it to staple all the time. I made two page setups 1 called toshiba 11x17 and one called 11x17 stapled. However every time i go into the properties for them whatever i do to one effects the other. I just want one to be stapled one to not be stapled and everything else to be identical.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a bit of a problem, i'm new to corel draw and i'm trying to create a flyer in 11x17 but when i go into print preview it shows half of my work only. can you adjust the print area on the print preview?
i need these flyer to be printed out in 11x17. would i need to create the document in a regular 8.5x11 and if so how would i increase the size to print out to 11x17?
I have two documents, both with 300 DPI. The first is a 4x5 image and the second is an 11x17 page. I am trying to drag the entire 4x5 image (it's composed of several layers) onto the 11x17 page and keep it the same size. However, when I drag and drop, the 4x5 image is enlarged to fill the full width of the 11x17 page. This happens even if I hit shift. I recently upgraded from PSE10 where I did this regularly and can't figure out how to do it in PSE12. I have an iMac with OS 10.8.5.
View 11 Replies View RelatedI'm attempting to plot a drawing with a 3d shape and a title block around it. I would like for the occluded lines to not be drawn therefore I'm using the hidden visual style and set shade plot to hidden as well.
My problem arises from the quality of the plot to PDF versus the quality coming out of a printer. It is just a 8.5x11 page. The pdf comes out with horrible anti-aliasing and jagged lines, whereas the print is entirely smooth. Is there something simple I'm missing? It would be even better to find a way to make the plot to PDF come out in vector format! I know it is possible to show the layers and have them vectorized in a PDF... How is this done?
I have plotted to PDF before, but on this particular drawing I'm losing some part of the drawing.
Two viewports at different scales. The larger viewport (zoomed in) plots perfectly. The smaller viewport (zoomed out) only plots the CAD layer (green line), but does not plot the Shapefiles (green dots and gray lines). Shapefiles are on their own layer, that layer is turned on. These are the only three items in model space; the black text and arrows are in paper space on the layout tab and render correctly in the large viewport.
Is it a scale issue with the shapefiles in the small viewport or a plotting issue?
I am using the geo map command to display a hybrid sat and road map behind a dwg in 2014Map3D. It displays fine on my monitor, but when I plot (whether to a plotter or to pdf) it does not include the background image map, just the vector part of the dwg. Is this a limitation of the geomap command or is it something I can fix? Usually my work is in locations where I can get raster topo and this plots fine as a background, however on the odd occasion the work is somewhere in the world where raster topo is not available and geomap is better than nothing. I can always import the dwg into Global Mapper from Blue Marble and bring in background imaging there, but then I can't plot at a specific scale.

I am trying to embolden lineweights to stand out on the drawing, without them getting in the way when viewing in the drawing. I have set the lineweight in the layer dialogue box to the max size (2.xx mm), checked the "plot lineweights" in the printer dialogue and switched between none and grayscale (this is so the assigned colors will fade out in the background). Nothing I have tried thus far has changed the print output on any of my printers (virtual PDF, HP2100, HP2600n, HP2840 they are all very old). I have read through the lweight command and help sections, but I don't need it assigning the lw just getting it to properly print.
One possible problem: is the line weight relative to scale or is it absolute? I am printing at 1/8" scale, and that can't change.
I have been working with a large scale architectural drawing provided by my cleint's architects. Since I usually work in black on a white screen, I have been working from paperspace with the viewport set to.monochrome. Up until Thursday, whenever I printed to PDF, I would get a monochome image which is what is supposed to happen.
However, In order to provide my client with a colour coded image, I changed some settings and printed a colour PDF. Now I cannot get it to go back to Monochrome. What setting has changed. I opened an earlier version of the same drawing and output a PDF from that drawing - black and white PDF. Try it from the current version of the drawing, it comes out in colour.
I have compared page setup settings, output setting, viewport 'MO' settings, they are all the same. How do I get back to black and white output.
We are Town Planners. So we Work with SG Diagrams alot. I need to import co-ordinates that have been provided on a General Plan. how to do this.
View 5 Replies View RelatedSome of my linework is not plotting. This only happens on one of my .dwg files (that I can tell), and only on certain layers. Recently drawn linework only on a few layers simply does not show up on preview or on hard copy, regardless of which printer I print to or which configuration I use. It's not a computer issue because the same issue happens if I open the file on a different computer. All layers are thawed, on and set to print.
However, if I Xref the file into a new drawing, then the linework prints. Here is a copy of the error message I receive.

I'am a quite expert Autocad user, but I have now a version wich seems to have some problem in plotting using Monochrome.ctb or Grayscale.ctb
If I choose one (It's the same problem with both), all the coloured layer in the layout visualization become black of course, but if I preview or I print it, the pdf created has all layer's colours.
of course the PLOT WITH PLOT STYLES box is checked.
I have attached a FDO image and created two different views in paperspace. One at 1:7500 and the other one at 1:2500. All is good until i want to plot the drawing. The native dwg objects are plotted right but the FDO image is plotted at the same scale in both mviews ?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm putting together an elevation where I want to be able to pdf the drawing in color but I'm having trouble getting the colors to plot. For instance I'm using color 37 and in the plot style table editor the color is set to 37, pen # is "automatic" and virtual pen # is "37". When I plot to a pdf that color doesn't even show on the plot. What am I missing here?

View 9 Replies View RelatedWe've got a file that's only plotting some layers and not others. All layers are on, thawed, and set to plot, so I don't have a clue why they aren't showing up. There's a plan that's x-reffed into model space and then showing through a viewport in paper space, and a title block x-reffed into paper space. Some layers in the plan and all layers in the title block are not plotting.

I like using wipeouts in adding text over busy sections of plant layouts. When they are printed as an pdf on an A3 they usually print fine. If the pdf is printed as an A1 or A O then the wipeouts have like a solid hatch pattern over them. I would like to continue using wipeouts to add text over details on a drawing if possible.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a drawing where I've xref'd (8)8.5x11 PDF'd documents using the PDF underlay option. The program runs fine, however something strange happens when I plot to PDF. For some reason ploted PDF file size becomes quite large (in this example, the (8) original sheets is roughly .6MB before I bring them into autoCAD LT and when I plot to full size pdf the pdf becomes ~25MB). Is this normal? Is there a way to reduce the file size? I should mention that the pdfs are almost completely text. I've tried 'breaking' the PDF into individual JPGs and bringing in the images into the sheet, but the file size is still huge. Is there a better way to bring in pdfs so that my ploted file size is more managable (I can deal with 1-3MB per sheet, but 25MB is, well, ridiculous).
