AutoCAD Map 3D :: Text And Layers Graying Out While Printing

Jul 12, 2011

I didn't create the drawing and I'm trying to troubleshoot for a co-worker, so I'm not sure of the specifics of the system that did, but here's what's going on:

The drawing appears to be fine, with the lines, hatching and text appearing in the designated colors. When I hit print, the drawing seems okay, but when rendering to print, the text, some hatching, and any text boxes become gray and print out that way. Once printed, the layers do not revert back to the color they were, even though the layer has retained the color. If you open up the text editor, the text selected will return to the color (magenta, in this case), but once you finish editing the text, it turns back to gray.

It's creating problems for printing out, and sadly too much work has been done at this point to start over. Every person who opens this drawing experiences the same thing, so it must be an issue with the particular file. This issue happens when using AutoCAD Map 3D 2008, 2010, and 2012. I thought it might be because it was used by different releases, but they're all saving back to 2004. I thought it might be that the text was created in a higher version and then edited in a lower version, but it's been worked on exclusively by the same person for two months and every time she has this issue.

AutoCad :: Graying Layers Out In Paper Space?

Feb 5, 2013

After updating an xref, all the layers in paper space and the ones inside of the viewport have changed to various shades of gray. If we look at the layers in model space, they are correct colors. I confirmed that the colors in the layer manager have not been modified inside the viewport or outside. I am not entirely sure how this was changed nor how to have the drawing display the correct colors.

Some additional information is that is that this is occurring in AutoCAD LT 2011. This is on Windows 7 64 bit operating system.

Photoshop :: Clipping Mask Multiple Text Layers Without Merging Text Layers

Dec 29, 2008

I am trying to get a white layer with see through writing which reveals the background image underneath. (Almost like I have put a stencil over a photograph). I have discovered this is called a clipping mask.

However, I am having difficulty using a clipping mask over multiple text layers. It seems to only do it to one layer directly beneath. I do not want to merge the text layers as I want to mess about with the design a fair bit.

AutoCad :: 2009 PDF Printing - Different Layers Come Out Looking The Same

Jun 3, 2012

I have AutoCAD 2009. When I print a PDF, all the different layers come out looking the same. In other words, in my drawing I have layers that are say green and other layers that are cyan. Supposedly, the green layer is darker and thicker than the cyan layer. But when I print the PDF, all the layers come out with the same thickness and darkness.

But if I plot the DWG file, the lines show up the way they should be. The problem only happens when plotting PDF's.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Macro To Create Layers And Place Text In The Layers?

Aug 12, 2013

We use AutoCad to name our dxf files for our Burn Table and whenever we get a new part it is a repetitive task to input layers and common text.  So what I am curious is can AutoCAD input the layers and text automatically using a Macro?

I want the Macro to put in 6 layers and choose the layer color and title then input text boxes with word in 3 different layers.  There will be about a total of 10 different text boxes with text already put in the boxes by the Macro.

AutoCAD LT :: Printing Half Of Text And No Vertical Dimension Text?

Jun 30, 2011

My office has two desktop printers, both HP.  Our Officejet 7000 wide format prints great.  On the HP Officejet 7500, we are often seeing text printing errors.  It will not print the text from vertical dimension strings, and cuts off some M-text at an imaginary vertical line in the middle of the text box.  PDF's of the same drawing look fine.  Is this a printer driver issue?  Is there anything I can do within AutoCAD?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Publish Printing Frozen Xref Layers?

Sep 1, 2011

When a drawing is printed using PLOT the drawing is printed fine. If I batch plot (or publish) it prints all the frozen layers of the xref and also prints the layers as assigned by the XREF drawing and not the new colours I have specified for this drawing.

Photoshop :: Text Layers Changing Into Other Text Layers

Nov 18, 2013

I often will borrow groups and layers from one document and drag them into a new or a different PS document to borrow the layers and formatting so I am not starting over from scratch with a design that I just need to re-work into a different size.

But in the last two weeks, when I drag the layers over, they start mysteriously changing into other layers that I did not drag over. What is causing this bug? It wasn't there before as I have performed this action many times in various projects. I am using PS CS6 on a Mac Book Pro.

Photoshop :: Increase Font Size In Many Text Layers At A Time By Selecting In Layers Panel

May 9, 2013

I would like to increase the font size in many text layers at a time by selecting them in the layers panel. The font increases, but the text boxes don't expand to fit the increased size text. So I am having to make each box bigger manually. Is there a way to have the boxes expand to fit bigger text automatically through the layers panel?

AutoCad :: Some Text Are Not Printing / HP9500 Printer

Jun 13, 2013

I have some very strange problems printing from Autocad. Some of the text is missing. The printer used is a HP9500. If I use a PDF driver to print to file, then print from the PDF file, it's ok, the text is showed, but printing directly from autocad has been resulting in this type of issue.

I checked the layers, and they are ok. The fonts are ok. It's not printing some text "near the viewport" borders. It was what I could conclude.

Illustrator :: Trapping All 3 Layers Of Color In Design - Screen Printing As Poster

Feb 25, 2013

I was wondering if I need to "trap" all 3 layers of color in this design which will be screen-printed as a 16x20 sized poster. In some parts of the design, I purposely made the colors a bit offset. But the printer says I must use trapping. I watched a bunch of video tutorials, but none of them seem applicable to this particular kind of artwork, in which I WANT some of the background/paper to show through. But not everywhere. I work in Illustrator CS6.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Text Printing Bold When It Shouldn't?

Sep 11, 2013

why the mtext in the blue viewport prints bold (attached) when the rest of the text in an other viewport or paperscape prints fine? You can see this in the plot preview when zoomed far enough out.

This is plaguing many drawings thoughout the company I work for and no one can figure it out. The only work around I have been able to come up with print everything to PDF first and then to the plotter which is a real pain.

AutoCAD 2010 :: DWG To PDF - Flattening During Printing And Black Boxes On Text

Feb 16, 2012

I have an issue when using the DWG to PDF plotter built into AutoCAD 2011.  It started when I would generate PDFs from AutoCAD and then try printing them to our office printer for a hard copy.  I kept getting the "flattening" bar popping up which caused a set of 20 drawings to take 30 mins to print.  Where other PDF generators the drawings shoot out of the printer ASAP.  And in a busy office likes mine, tying up a  printer for that long is kind of frowned upon. But they didn't solve my flattening issue.  I tweaked the "Merge Control" as most of the posts mention along with turning off "layers in PDF" as well.  My PDFs are still flattening.  All my drawings are 2D...no 3D information.

And now I've noticed after changing the "Merge Control" and "Layer Display" in my pc3 file, it is putting black boxes on text that have a background mask...not a wipeout.  I know there have been issues in the past with PDFs and wipeouts...but in my case it's the background mask function.  I've even tried using a 255,255,255 colour for my background mask colour (instead of my default "background colour") and that didn't work.  And the other weird thing is that it's not blacking out all text with background masks.  On one drawing it'll be blacked out and in the next, the exact same piece of text will be fine.  It's even only blacking out portions of lines of text.  Completely random!

GIMP :: Change Text Size In All Text Layers?

Oct 4, 2011

I am creating a layered marine chart with reference points. I've imported the chart and am creating text layers with a reference number in them.

I have about 700 of these to add - a daunting task - but it's for a NZ coastguard unit, so is worthwhile.

The idea is to have a layer with all our reference points on it, so when a chart is updated, we can just import the chart; add back the reference points layers and print it out.

(Why? NZ baynames, danger spots etc usually have 2 names; an english name and a maori name - sometimes we have to cross reference when on the water to find the correct place).

Is creating text layers the best way of doing this?

Is there any way of increasing the size of all the text - instead of having to edit 700 text layers?

AutoCad :: Different Layers For Text In Tables?

Jan 6, 2014

We are moving to a new drafting standard which uses .STB plots rather than .CTB. I'm wondering if there is any way of changing the layer of the text within the cells. I want the title to be at a certain thickness, the headers to be a different thickness, and the data to be a different thickness again when plotting. This is easy to do when using .CTB plot styles, but is there a way to do it when using .STB?

Photoshop :: Clarity On Printing Text

I have issues with clarity on printing text I have created in Photoshop. All looks clear on the screen but when I print it, the images are nice and crisp but the text is almost blurry?

Latest issue (need HELP ASAP): When creating text in a separate file and copying the layer to another file... why is the image so small? I created some chrome text and when I copied the layer to my file with the image it was like the size of a pin! Is this why I am losing clarity when printing?

Photoshop :: How Add A Line Of Text When Printing A...

Oct 20, 2008

way to add in a line of text superimposed on a photo (or in an added white strip along the lower edge) when printing a picture?

Like, eg., a byline, date, fielname, copyrigt or similar stuff.

I mean, I don't want to include the textline permanently in the picture, only to add it in sometimes when printing for some particular purpose.

I figure having a couple of such lines in a textfile and cut an paste from it when needed.

I'm running PS3, Photoshop and Bridge in Windows XP.
