AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Contact Sheet Like Plotting

Oct 3, 2011

Years ago, there was a program of routine that would plot files to a sheet resembling a photographer’s contact sheet. You would tell it which folder to use and it would print the entire folder. You could tell it how many rows and columns and it would fill up the 8.5 x 11 or 11 x 17 sheet with little images of the files.

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Plotting Drawing Produces Blank Sheet?

Jun 15, 2011

I am running CAD Map 3D 2011 and a Windows XP SP3 machine with 4GB RAM and a 128 MB 3D card.  I am trying to send the plot to a HP Designjet 800PS plotter.

The file that I am working on is not overly large and has no raster images or OLE objects attached.  It does have several open database connections that I am using to theme one of my drawing layers.  The sheet itself is an odd size (36" x 54"), but I have printed other drawings of this size before and I've never had problems.

When I first plotted the sheet, it was taking forever to spool, so I ended up canceling the print several times.  I finally decided to try to plot to PDF, but this created a HUGE spool file (2.65 GB).  Since it was actually spooling, I went ahead and let it run.  It ended up taking about an hour to spool and print the PDF.  Before I opened the PDF, I checked the size and found it to be about 12 Mb.  When I opened it, all that was there was a blank sheet.  After that, I re-sent the plot to the HP plotter and just let it work overnight.  When I got in this morning, there was a 36" x 54" blank sheet waiting for me.

I've checked the basic settings and none of the layers are frozen, off, or set to not print.  I also increased by page file size to work with the plot, but that does not seem to have had any effect.  I've tried creating several different .pc3 files, but the issue has stayed.  I am now trying to have another person open the file and print it from a different workstation, but so far no luck.

As a side note, I tried a work around by plotting to a dwf file using the included dwf driver.  This spooled and plotted very quickly (<60 seconds) and the dwf file appears just fine in design review.  However, when I try to print from design review, it won't let me set it as a 36" x 54" plot; it keeps with with the standard print sizes only.

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Multi Sheet Plotting To Smaller Paper Size

Oct 8, 2013

This is an issue for which no one in my office has any solution.  We create all of our plan sets on E1 size paper. However, when we plot them for redlines we print to C-size to save paper. I know you can "publish selected layouts" to plot numerous tabs at a time. However, I am unable to figure out how to make them plot to a smaller size paper than what the page is set up for. Is there a way to plot all of the tabs at a smaller scale without plotting each tab individually?

We just recently upgraded to AutoCad 2014.

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Plotting To PDF Drawings Disappear When Go To Plot

May 25, 2011

So I have the educational version of ACAD 2012 and this is my first time using that version. My model is done and I formatted my layout with a border and the model to scale in the viewport. When I go to plot to PDF, all I see is the border. I've tried fiddling with colors and viewports but neither of those did anything.

Paint.NET :: Print A Contact Sheet

Mar 3, 2012

When I choose Print in Paint.NET I am offered several layout options, including a 9 picture 'wallet' and 35 picture 'contact sheet'.

I want to use one of these to view several pictures together rather than wasting paper and ink, but I can't find out where to select the multiple pictures.

Lightroom :: How To Print A Contact Sheet Containing Over 12 Images

Mar 4, 2013

Lightroom 4 consistently crashes every time I attempt to print a contact sheet containing over 12 images. Any less and the task is completed without error, any more and it inevitably crashes.
 
My workaround has been to export the images and create large contact sheets in Photoshop CS6, but this takes twice as long. This is a daily task and is significantly disrupting my workflow.

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: DWG To PDF Batch Print To Single Sheet File

Sep 30, 2013

We just started in 2014 last week.  When we batch plot to PDF using the DWG to PDF driver we get multi-page files no matter which is selected in the Publish Options. Any way to allow single sheet PDF creation?

Photoshop :: Batch Process Contact Sheet, Print, Then Close

Oct 14, 2005

way to to automate a workflow as follows:

1. drop or select a folder of pics (sometimes up to 200 images)

2. create a contact sheet - just like the "File > Automate > Contact Sheet II" (I make contact sheets/proofs of 2-4 images per page)

3. print all the contact sheets on 8.5x11" sheets of paper

4. close contact sheets w/o saving.

I can't seem to combine the Contact Sheet II with other actions.

Alternatively I could continue to create my contact sheets with the existing Contact Sheet II tool, then save, then drag to print window/icon - but it would be much easier to handle it one step.

I also looked for Automator actions and can't seem to nail this thing. I even considered iPhoto - it does this "standard prints" thing which works great but I need the file names in the contact sheets (bummer).

I'm using a Macinotsh G5 2GHz DP, 2GB RAM, OSX.4.2, Adobe Photoshop CS2, Epson 4000 Pro.

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Plotting To PDF

Sep 27, 2011

Ive got a A3 drawing all set up to plot to my printer and it works fine.

Unfortunately the same cannot be said when I use the _exportpdf command (or the PDF function in the ribbon):-

- If I export using the current layout then the top and bottom of my title block are chopped off.
- If I change the paper size to A3fullbleed then it does plot the whole drawing, but not to scale (even though its still set to 1:1

- Changing to the other A3 options goes back to chopping off the top and bottom.

From my limited knowledge It appears that the columns need adjusting, trouble is, i'm not sure how?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Plotting Empty Sheet When Full Size Plot

Nov 1, 2012

Ghost in the machine or something:

- HP T110044 plotter.

- All drawings in this project (oops did a saveas and now I screwed).

- All Windows 7-64bit

- AutoCAD 2013

- drawings have Revit AutoCAD dumps X-referenced to them

- Title block is x-refed and created same way as above

- drawing scale is Unitles as well as insert units

- plot preview shows a drawing at 100%

- Drawings will plot fine to 50% scale and 100% scale to PDF but NOT100% to the HP plotter.

- when ploting to 100% size, plotter progress bar in AutoCAD takes awhile, hangs, then dissapears and a new bar appears and jumps across and spits out a blank sheet.

-I have the "plot paperspace last" checkbox checked.

- Could my plotter driver be corrupted?

- Tried on several machines and same thing happend.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Xref Doesn't Plot From Sheetset But Does When Plotting Only One Sheet

Oct 31, 2013

I have a set of drawings.

Titleblocks are drawing files with the floors xref'd in.

It's a pretty regular aggregate xref method.

I have a sheet with a roof plan.

The third floor (unique xref - attach) has vpcolours assigned to layers so that the walls show greyed out, for routing roof drains.

If I plot this sheet on it's own, the walls below show.

If I plot the whole set by shift clicking the drawings in the sheet set, and choosing publish to PDF, this drawing doesn't show.  I get the roof plan without the xref'd walls below showing.

I'd like to issue one pdf file of the whole set, but this one sheet in the middle isn't showing.  I don't have an adobe suite to plot the roof plan on it's own and cut it in for the wrong one because $1500.00

I'd like to be able to plot the draiwng correctly from AutoCAD.

Photoshop Elements :: Print Album Name Along With Contact Sheet Created From Photos It Contains?

Feb 21, 2013

I have my photos organized into albums.  I would like to print a contact sheet for each album, but would like it to include the album name.  This seems like a very basic part of organizing, but it's not overly apparent how to do it.  I would also like to resize the caption font on the contact sheet, too.

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Plotting DWG To PDF And Saving

Jun 1, 2012

Is there a way to set the Dwg to Pdf.pc3  so that when I hit plot, it "knows" to save the pdf in the bloody folder that the source .dwg file is located....I can see how to set it to 1 single default folder in Options ( i.e. my main Clients folder) but really, how to get to to plot to the source folder..... has got to be less than 1/2 hours worth of coding....I get pretty tired of browsing/scrolling etc to where I want the pdf to end up.

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Plotting From Window

May 7, 2012

am using ACAD2008 on windows XP. I have just started having this problem that if I choose to plot from a window the plot dialogue box locks up after the window is selected and the command line is still asking for the corners of the window to be selected. But everything plots ok if I use extents.

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Plotting Several Sheets At Once

Sep 21, 2011

We use several different printers at our company, and one thing that I find really bugging is that I have to change the plot settings on each sheet, if the file has been worked on by someone else.

Is it possible (for example) if I've got 7 sheets set up, they all have an A3 drawing set up (correct extents, pen settings etc), for me to highlight all of the tabs and just change the printer? Rather than going into each sheet and manually changing them?

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Plotting Larger Than A4

Apr 30, 2013

We've got an HP Designjet 455C attached to an SBS 2003 computer.

From Autocad, I can print when I set the page size to A4 - as expect, it prints a nice A4 sized plot on the A1 width roll. But if I try to print full size plots, nothing happens; the document spools, but the printer does nothing.

It must be something to do with paper size or orientation, but I can't find what. I wondered if there was anything well known I should try (I'm not that familiar with Autocad - yet).

Part of the problem was inconsistency.. sometimes test documents would print, and then they wouldn't! I also got one which seemed to print at the right size, but was only printing part of the file content. These are existing Autocad files, with a printer that has been working in the past.

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Plotting With Windows 7

Apr 22, 2013

Two of our computers have windows 7 and we are unable to publish or if we plot we have to wait until that page is completed before sending another page otherwise only some the information shows up when printed (ie. no dimensions or no title block). This does not happen on the other computer in the office which still has windows XP.

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: DWF - Lines Plotting Too Heavy?

Jun 18, 2007

I am finding that my DWF files sent to the plotter are plotting with the linework being heavier than the same file sent directly to our plotter. These are just lines that should plot with a narrow width (ie walls on a floor plan) but they seem to be about twice the width and hence look "darker". Is there a setting that I am missing or some other way to get the lines to plot out thinner? Also, TTF fonts plot thicker in DWF. I've tried the various options in the DWF viewer when sending to the plotter, but none seem to work.

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Plotting With Line Thickness

Jan 28, 2013

I have an issue with plotting line thickness, when I use the company setup using a d-size B&W.pc3 and mono chrome.ctb files, i can't seem to get the plotter to show line thickness. But using the same setup with a customer border, I can get the line thickness.

Also I not sure if this makes a difference, but the company plots from model space and where most of our customers use paper space.

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Plotting Area On HP Designjet PS

Jun 9, 2013

I am trying to plot  a layout sheet 24'' W x 18" H. The frame on my sheet is 22''W x 16''L (inside the dash lines limits we see on the layout). I believe I prepare the print correctly:

- Select the printer (HP DESIGN JET PS)
- I use the window fonction to select the printable area ( left upper corner and then the opposite corner).
- Select Paper size Arch C (landscape)
- Paper orientation: Lansdcape

The preview shows that the upper and bottom lines of my frame will not print, and they do not, even if I try (see the attachement below).

Is this a driver problem?

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: LT2011 Crashes When Plotting?

Jan 3, 2012

I have a Dell 515 plotter printer connected to a network computer.  I can print to it from other programs, but as of this evening, when I select the printer, the screen goes white and autocad dies.  I can print to a pdf or even select another printer that is not even turned on.  This also happens when the 515 is set as the default and I select print to default system printer.

this has happened before and It seemed like a lucky fluke that i got it to stop.  something about the order of change scale, preview, change plotter etc, but no luck this time.

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Plotting In Paper Space?

Normally I plot in paper space and everything works well. when I plot in paper space all the lines ae much, much lighter and almost invisible, whereas if I plot the same drawing in model space the plot comes out perfectly, though not in scale.  I must have pushed a wrong button somewhere but wnat button is beyond me.

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Viewports Of Pdf Underlays Not Plotting?

Aug 27, 2013

I have a bunch of pdf underlays in model space with four viewports referencing them in one paperspace layout. The viewports are on their own non-plot layer and the pdf underlays are on a plottable layer. This isn't an issue on the original dwg that I copied them from.

-Everything appears fine in paperspace (see FIG. 1)

-When I go to plot, only the viewport on the right shows up. (see FIG. 2)

-If I move the viewports on the left to the right side, they plot.(see FIG 3)

-When I move the original right viewport to the left side it no longer plots. (NOT SHOWN)

-If I toggle each viewport in the original layout and draw a random line in model space all four of them plot(see FIG. 4)

-I've checked the vp and pdf underlay layers and properties-all are good

-I've tried creating new vp's and still have same issues

-tried creating a new dwg, copied in the pdf underlays and still have same issue

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Plotting To PDF (fuzzy Plots)

Mar 21, 2012

I've been working on some wiring schematics lately and I noticed that when I plot to PDF (using both Adobe and the ACAD PDF plotter) my plots are coming out fuzzy.  It looks like I have a shadow around my text and lines.  In the attached graphic, the plot on the left was drawn about a year ago, the one on the right was done within the last two months.  I recently went in and changed the PDF plot setting to High quality print.  Ultimately,I didn't have this issue last year and as far as I can remember, I haven't made any changes to my plot settings.

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Only Plotting Part Of Drawing

Mar 3, 2013

when I try and plot drawings from autocad I only get half the drawing, sometimes just a strip of blank paper. This is for standard A0 drawings and custom oversized drawings. Plot preview is fine, the same drawings can be plotted by my 2 collegues. We all have the same computer specs, same program, same drivers, as a department we had new computers about 3 months ago. We use 2013LT. I can plot the drawings but it means using True View to open and plot the drawings (same computer, same drivers, but it works) I repeatedly asked our IT department and finally got them to look at the computer, the answer was "yeah, your right it doesn't work".

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Parts Of Lines Not Plotting

Sep 12, 2013

I have a 3D drawing I created in AutoCAD 2014 64bit that is not printing properly.  When you look at a print preview everything shows up and looks like it should print properly.  However, when I print parts of lines are missing.  Example, I have a rectangle and only half of it prints.  Only two sheets out of eight do not print properly and all started as the same template.  I have tried everything as follows:

Checked the layers were set to plot. Made sure the lines were not on defpoints. Moved all the items that do not print properly to the front. I am not using a ctb or stb file.

I have purged. I have audited. I have tried copying to a new drawing and creating my viewports again. I tried changing the quality from Normal to Maximum. I tried printing to a printer, to Adobe PDF, to CutePDF, to DWGtoPDF.pc3, and to PDF995.  All of which gave me slightly different areas missing.

Computer:

Lenovo 7518D7U
Intel Core i3-2120 CPU @ 3.30GHz
4GB installed memory (3.83GB usable)
64bit system
Windows 7 Professional
Intel HD Graphics 2000
