Im having issues when plotting a PDF. Im plotting using the DWG to PDF.pc3. The text in the CAD file looks awesome, clean and crisp. When I send it out to a PDF and I cant read the text. Its being plotted at custom paper size - 72x72 as requested. A PDF is attached.
View 2 RepliesI would like to create a block that has an attribute that will always read left to right no matter which method used to rotate the block itself. I know this can be done attaching a rotate parameter to the block and not the attribute, but i want it to also work when using the rotate command.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am creating a block that has a single letter included with it. I will need to rotate this block depending on the position within my plan, but I want to keep the label upright and able to be read left to right. I can't seem to find a way to set this preference, does it exist? Or is there a round-about way of doing it? Don't tell me I have to make separate blocks, each oriented a different way to the text stays upright..

When we print a full size drawing and scale it to fit to a Ledger Sheet, the text became very hard to read. Changing layers, linetype scale, and even fonts don't work. It still prints at the same.

I'm having trouble plotting text with blocks in paper space... I can bring up and edit the text within the blocks themselves just fine. I revise the text, hit "ok" and nothing shows where it is supposed to within the paper space.

View 9 Replies View RelatedFirstly, I'm using ZWCAD which should be identical to AutoCAD but who knows...
One of the layers is in red, but when I plot the file, all the lines are red (which is OK) and the text is black... what am I supposed to do to keep the text in red?
The same happens when I export the CAD file to PDF.
How to do it?
I am using Inv/Vault Pro 2011.
I am currently running map 3d 2012 and my co-worker is running 2013. When she plots in paperspace, there is text that gets plotted that is outside of her viewport. When I open up the drawing on my computer, it plots perfectly. I attached a clip of it, the thick black is our drawing border, the viewport is where the color stops.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have attached my template drawing and a plotted pdf file of my template.
My question is the logos in the title block are hand drawn dwg logos. My client does not like the pdf file because the ITC logo text changes color and looks grainy or washed out. It is not crisp and clean. This is VERY IMPORTANT to him. Why do they change so as in the colors of the ITC logo change to a light blue not the 178 I set it at in AutoCad. when I plot a pdf the file. When plotting I use the DWG to PDF option.
I am using Civil 3D 2011 because of a contract. Monday I created the View Frames and cut the sheets. As of this morning everything was printing properly. Over the day I added alignment labels to the sheets and other call outs, and now the Match Line text is not printing.
I have moved the match line object to the top of the drawing order, double checked the layer to verify that it is not set to no plot, and verified that the xref with the match line is on the top of the drawing order.
Attached is a screen capture of the corner PDF I plotted.
I am using AutoCAD LT 2013 and at the moment i am just using the dwg to pdf.pc3 included in AutoCAD.
All of the text in my drawings is the same font (ISOCPAUS). Up until about a week ago, i could plot bold & italic text using the dwg to pdf plotter. Now, I cannot and i don't know what has changed to make this happen. Underlined and overlined text still plots fine to pdf. Everything appears correct in model space, paper space layouts, in previews and if i plot to any of the printers in the office, but once i plot to pdf, the bold and italic is gone.
When Im in model mode mode I create txt to annotate my diamentions, when I sent up my page in paper mode and plot it to a pdf, all the text ive created in model mode appears on the pdf as outlined text ( hollow ).
View 1 Replies View RelatedI just loaded AutoCAD 2012 on Friday and have noticed that when I use annotative text or mtext in paper space when printing or previewing the text it rotates 90 degrees to vertical, but is horizontal in the drawing. Only does this with annotative text or mtext, non annotative text and mtext remains horizontal when previewing or printing.

Using the plotter configuration editor, you can treat True Type fonts as "text" or "graphics". How about .shx fonts? My goal is to plot drawings (containing .shx fonts) in PDF whose text are content readable.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI got a new work and get it done in the next 2 days, but first I need to do this... from a text file (or excel file, I got both) I got 3 columns, 1 one for node number, and 2 other for X and Y coordinates for each node.
So from that file I need to insert into autocad the node numbers as text (using the current style and height) at the point specified by the other two columns, that are the X,Y coordinates which will be the insertion point of text..

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?

Any way to get a scale bar/title block text to reflect plotting at half size?
We use the common (24x36) sheet size for all projects, but when plotting we send out half size (12x18) as well. This means the scale bar reading 1"=40' is no longer correct. It should read 1"=20'. I would like to automate this.
I'm plotting multiple sheets in revit 2011 (doesn't matter if it's 2 or 20,)the first sheet comes out fine, but all the rest has text / annotation that has disappered. Text in the title block, elevation markers, section markers, and column bubbles. The markers appear, but the text doesn't. My work around currently is to plot to pdf and then plotting the pdf. But this is a step that I shouldn't have to do.
