AutoCAD Map 3D :: Output Plot Not Showing Up In Preview

Apr 12, 2012

I'm having a plotting issue with one of my drawings.  It's not showing up on plot preview, or even when I print it.

Any other drawing I create under the same Page Setup print fine.  The paper and viewport have been have been set up for a standard 8x11, and drawing appears in as normal in the viewport.  The layers are ok with no attributes (i.e transparency)  set as to affect the print output.  The printer drivers are up to date, and really doesnt make sense as any drawings I create under the exact settings show up normally and print out with no problem. Really don't want to recreate the drawing from scratch.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Station Ticks Display In Plot Preview But Do Not Plot

Nov 29, 2012

I have a stationing line.  I've used the block PTTICL to make ticks.  The ticks display perfectly.  I'll run through a plot preview and the ticks show on the plot preview.  I push plot go to the printer and the ticks are not plotted.

I've checked the layer.  They are on a layer that should print.

I've checked the block.  The block is created on a layer that should print.

I've run through a number of options regarding the alignment label properties and found "display" to be equal to "true."

Everything else plots just fine. Only the station label ticks refuse to plot.  My project is fairly short so the work around was to put a poly line right on top of the tick mark.

Created new PC3 for KIP 3100 plotter using its AutoCAD Heidi driver for Win7x64. Upon plot preview the following error occurs.

This causes a crash report which has been submitted to Autodesk.  The response was to install service pack 2.  Error still occurs after installing the service pack.

Using the non-AutoCAD driver works.

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Plot Preview Causes Crash

Aug 17, 2011

I have a coworker who is having trouble printing from AutoCAD 2011 (sp2) on his Dell Latitude, Win 7 64 box. Whenever we try to print or even do a print preview, it will crash the program

He has tried several printers and uninstalled and reinstall the drivers for them.  Tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program as well.the Windows Application event viewer shows this when AutoCAD crashes.

Faulting application name: acad.exe, version: 24.1.208.0, time stamp: 0x4dbf9c16

Also, I have trouble remoting into his laptop because it will not display correctly with our Landesk software.  So I'm wondering if this is a display problem rather than a printing problem.

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Corrupt Preview And Plot

Oct 1, 2009

When attempting to print drawings that have been printed before...much of my drawing will print but many lines and blocks will not show up in preview, or print. i wonder whatt he problem is, as there are some lines which have exactly the same properties (ie on the same layer with no overides etc). where some will print but others wont (ie on the same layer etc). A similar problem persists where some xrefs show in preview and others don't.

Also the stuff in layout space is part there and part not, where this layout title block etc is standard for all drawings and has always printed fine.

It seems the only way to solve it is to copy everything into new drawings (including xrefs) and start again....? I have checked layers, no print etc...

AutoCad :: PDF Output Tool Vs Plot Dialog

Oct 11, 2011

I am using AutoCAD 2012 with Acrobat Pro 9. When I output via the plot dialog in CAD to pdf print the text looks different then when I use the output toolbar export to pdf. Both files plot the same on paper, but when I look at the output tool pdf file zoomed out, the text looks unclear with some characters looking grey vs. black. Is there a setting that changes this so the text can be more readable even when zoomed out?

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Different Output With Same Page Setup

Jul 11, 2013

I have created a bunch of Page Setups (for both Paper and PDF) that work great when plotting from the plot menu. Lately, I've convinced my people to start using the sheet set manager and the publish command. However, on some computers, (not mine) plotting (to PDF) from the Publish dialog box outputs a file that seems to ignore the page setup. Using the very same Page Setup, the file comes out perfectly when plotting from the regular Plot menu. I don't understand how:

1- I get the same result with both methods on my computer (the one used to create all those page setups);
2- I get page setup to apply perfectly on my computer;
3- I get the expected result on the problematic computers when using Plot;
4- But I get different results on the problematic computer when using Publish.

*Note: In the publish dialog box, I use "Publish to: Plotter named in page setup" and then I select the wanted page setup for all my selected layouts in the list. My page setups are using "DWG to PDF.pc3", so the "plotter named in page setup" in all cases should be "DWG to PDF". 

I've been doing tests with PDF files set on A1 format (841mmX594mm) and the output is perfect on my computer. Then on another computer, strangely, I get a PDF with these dimensions: 863.6mmX558.8mm (34"x22"). On the second computer, doing the very same steps, I get 431.8mmX279.4mm (17"x11"). Three computers, three different outputs with three different values. One works, two miss. I'm stoked. 

Keep in mind that all three computers output perfect files when using the standard plotting menu (using the same page setups) so I doubt the page setups are incorrect. Does the Publish command deal differently with page setups than the plot command ? I would have assumed that both commands would react the same. I 'd like my team to be able to batch plot like I can on my computer.

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: How To Make TIFF Output Higher Than 100 Dpi

Oct 22, 2012

Our local agency has come up with a requirement that CAD-generated drawings be submitted to them as 200 dpi TIF files, of between 300kb and 900kb. They do not accept dwg, dwf, or even pdf.

When we create a new plotter in AutoCAD, using any of the raster file formats, setup for the format only allows 100dpi. You can create larger numbers of pixels, 1024x768 vs 1600x1200, for example, but that is not translating into higher resolution.

We have tried the route of printing to pdf, then converting to TIF, but the file sizes are coming out far too large.

If we are unable to find a solution, I guess we can always print to hardcopy and then scan to tif. In 1996 I would have been happy to do that, but not now.

Our specific version of AutoCAD is AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013, but I am sure this is more a generic AutoCAD issue.

VideoStudio :: Preview And Output Are Not The Same?

Feb 22, 2012

I am working on a simple video with two (3 second) overlay video clips. In the preview window everything looks great. After compressing the overlay clips shrink in height revieling the top & bottom of the main clip. If I over-stretch the overlay clips they still shrink down. I have gotten it to work once (don't know why) but that rendering the audio dropped off when the overlay started and never came back. That's a separate issue.

I saw where one person trying to solve a different issue mentioned to streach the overlay clip by the corners only? Is that important? I also tried turning on and off the "stretch to fit" option. I am not seeing a patern? I have also tried keeping the aspect ration on and off but that does not seem to give consistant results. I am sure it is a combination of some type.

Main clip:

Data rate: 9421 kbps
Video: Windows Media Video 9
24 bit, 1920x1080, 29.970 frames/sec
Aspect Ratio: 1.78:1.00

Overlay clips:

Data rate: 1309 kbps
Video: Windows Media Video 9
24 bit, 1280x720, 25 frames/sec
Aspect Ratio: 1.78:1.00

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Changing Printable Area Changes Paper Output Size?

Sep 28, 2010

Using an HP 1050c Plus with the latest HP drivers for Windows XP on AutoCAD MEP 2009.  If I use the standard printer margins it all works fine, except that the margins are way too big and no border we have will print without cutting off at least .25" all around.  If I go to properties and change the margins to .1" all around, my 42x30 sheets will print out with 43" of paper.  If I make them .25", I will get 42.5" of paper.  I just started at this company and have never had this problem before with an HP 1050 plotter.  I have tried different combinations of the Extend margins, Inked area and autorotate checkboxes but haven't been able to figure it out yet.

After Effects :: Firewire Output For Video Preview Intermittent

May 1, 2013

We're producing some video to be projected, so to see what the final output will really look like, I'm doing video previews using FireWire so output goes directly to the projector. 
 
It's been working great up until yesterday.  Was working fine until I had to restart my Mac.  Upon reboot, my the projector no longer gets any video output.
 
I've tried restarting numerous times, checked all connections, etc.  Got it working again after several restarts, but after switching over to Photoshop momentarily, the video output once again disappeared.

how to regain consistent Firewire output for Video Previews?
  
My setup:

After Effects CS6
Mac Pro
OSX Version 10.7.5
Firewire Output of my Mac's monitor is going to the Firewire Input on my Sony Media Converter
RCA Video out (Composite video) going to the projector's video input.
 
After Effects Video Preview preferences:

Output Device:  FireWire
Output Mode: Apple FireWire NTSC

AutoCAD 2010 :: Crashes With Plot Preview

When plotting and doing a 'plot preview' Acad crashes.  This happens with ALL dwgs no matter which of our 2 printers is chosen.  This is only happening to one computer in the office.  All computers are running Windows 7 Professional with AutoCAD Civil 3d 2011.  If the plot is sent without a preview everything if fine with no crash.

AutoCad :: XREF Not Showing Up In Print Preview?

Oct 12, 2006

I'm using autocad map 2000. In model view I have inserted a map as an external reference. Then I have created a plot in paper view. Here the xref background is still visible. However, when i choose plot-->full preview I can't see the xref, only the other lines I've created. I'm using a HP designJet 500 in ISO A1 and have the following plot option selected:plot lineweights, plot with plot styles, plot paperspace last.

The drawing is pretty useless without the map

AutoCAD 2010 :: Stuck In Plot Preview Loop

Oct 26, 2009

AutoCAD 2010 SP2:

Upon setting up a drawing for plotting (the problem is not printer specific) the "Print Preview" gets stuck in a loop where I am unable to exit if I choose to cancel or alter the settings. I am forced to go ahead and send the plot. If iI immediately go back and run the PLOT command again nothing happens... no dialog box, no error nothing. I must then go to any other open dwg, do a save, and then go back to the original dwg. Then the PLOT command will again work, however, still getting stuck in the preview loop.

AutoCAD Map 3D :: Print Preview And Plot Doesn't Work

Sep 27, 2011

I'm using AutoCAD Map 3D 2009.

I've created a simple drawing in CAD that contains a cropped JPEG, a two toned hatched polygon in behind it two MTexts overlaying all.

I cannot view them in either normal plotting, pdf format, jpeg format and even dwf. 

I've increased the ram used in the "Raster Extension Options" (2000 MB), I've set the plotting in the "Process Document" to "...In computer", I've saved it in older formats (2000/2004/2007), I've placed the drawing on both our public drives as well as the local, I've adjusted the "Raster and Shaded/Rendered Viewports" & "OLE" settings in the "Device and Document Settings" (None to Best).  Not to mention the other variations in the plot menu.

I've tried everything I can think of and have read through several threads here and nothing works.

What drives me nuts about this, is that I'm able to print from a layout with no problems a 3D drawing, with 2D hatching, an extensive title block with hatching and a secondary overall viewport (minimal detail) in the main viewport area.

AutoCAD Architecture :: PDFs Don't Show Up In Plot Preview

Apr 24, 2013

I'm running Autocad Architecture 2013.  My .dwg has about 15 pdf's in it (from a consultant that does hand drawings that I scan in, and use the image manager to insert into my drawing).  The PDF's range from under 1mb, to 10mb.    The PDFs are in model space and within my various drawing sheets, I show them in my drawing sheets via multiple viewports.  I noticed that when I go to plot a sheet that has pdfs shown in viewports, and click on PLOT PREVIEW, the PDF's don't show up - everything else shows up, linework, jpegs, etc, but not the PDF's!   I fiddled with the viewports and noticed that if some part of the PDF's image frame was visible in the Viewport, the PDF would appear in Print Preview.   But if the viewport sat directly over the PDF's image frame, the PDF would not show up in the Plot Preview!!!

Could it be I've exceeded the maximum number of Viewports in my entire .dwg? (I have about 16 sheets),  Or, could it be some mysterious autocad system variable that I'm running up against.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Blank Page When Plot Preview And Export To Pdf

Oct 3, 2013

Excuse my awkwardness but I'm self taught on AutoCAD & have managed fine for last few months but have encountered an issue this evening I can't resolve.  I've produced drawings, basic they may be, but when preview them the actual drawing area is barely noticable & when export to pdf it practically prints a blank page.  I have very simple items in drawing, stockpiles, excavations test locations, and have been producing pdf's fine, even as recently as this morning using the same cadfile.  But what ever I've managed to do since then has changed something and I can't resolve the issue.
