AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Named Page Setups Don't Stay Assign To Layout Tabs?

Feb 24, 2012

We have, since moving to 2012 had an issue with our standard Named Page Setups in our DWT file staying assigned to the layout tabs. When you click up to plot a dwg... the Page Setup Name indicating that the Named Page Setup assigned to the plot configuration dialog box says <None>.  Even if you click in the drop down and select a setup... the name selected shows as selected after the box colapses... but then a split second later, the box defaults back to <None>.

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Change Page Setup In All Layout Tabs

Nov 8, 2003

I get several dwg's a day with up to 40 layouts in each one. All the settings are correct ACCEPT the plotter. Is there a way to set all page setups for all layouts at the same time? Something like select all layouts and do a page setup for all. Possibly with LISP or VBA?

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Page Setups For Multiple Printers

May 8, 2012

how to create page setups for multiple printers in a network environment?

Here is the problem:

We have 2 offices with 3-7 printers per office and each printer with different capabilities (black and white, color, 11x17, wide format, etc.). I have CAD users who know little about setting up layouts so I want to create preconfigured layouts that they can import from a template via Design Center or other means.

I know I could set up a layout for each printer, page size, plot scale, and plot style table, but that gets to be so many layout permutations that it becomes overwhelming to manage and use. Up until now I had set up PC3 files for a few commonly used printers (wide format plotter, laser, pdf) and gave them generic names with the intent that I could simply direct the output to any printer by assigning it to one of the generic PC3 files. The problem I've encountered is that over time we've acquired new printers and old printers sometimes go offline or out of service and many of the printers have incompatible printable areas and page sizes to each other, so for example a page setup that calls for an 11x17 sheet for one printer does not have an equivalent size when a different printer is assigned to the layout.

Are we stuck with having to configure setups for each and every printer and permutation?

AutoCAD LT :: Incorrect Mouse Location / Change Page Layout Tabs

Jun 25, 2013

I am having a problem with AutoCAd LT 2014 incorrectly locating mouse clicks with respect to the change page layout arrows. In order to reproduce this error you must have enough page layouts in a drawing to highlight the arrows (bottom left) which change the layout tab.  Clicking on the right (or left) arrow several times consecutively will be incorrectly identified by AutoCad as a double click on the 1st page layout visible and will execute the rename feature.  However the mouse pointer is not over that layout tab, it is clearly over the right arrow.  

Why does AutoCAD read a clicks in this area incorrectly and register them instead nearly 30 pixels to the right.  

Any work around as I commonly use the arrows to cycle through pagelayouts in drawings which have 50+ page layouts.

I have also noticed that AutoCAD will preview page layouts when hovering the mouse over the page layout change arrows, this reinforces the belief that AutoCAd is not correctly identifying the mouse position in that area.

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: How To Print Multiple Layout Pages In A Printer

Oct 14, 2012

I have multiple layout pages (58 pages) and would like to print them in a printer at once. How do I do that?

Currently, I open 1 layout at a time then print it 1 by 1, in which its killing me specially if I do have lots of drawings.

Publish does saving in DWF, PDF... But does not print in the printer.

AutoCad :: Remove Model Page Setup Entry From List Of Page Setups

Feb 1, 2012

Using Acad 2010

Is there a way to remove the *Model* page setup entry from the list of Page Setups in the Page Setup Manager? This is the first time I am seeing *Model* in the list, and I suspect that it the reason I am not able to generate a PDF for this particular drawing. When I try, I get the following error:

=========================
Job: - Error(s) Did Not Plot

Job ID: 5
Sheet set name:
Date and time started: 2/1/2012 10:34:53 AM

Category name:
Page setup:
Device name:
Plot file path:

ERROR: Internal Error: Failed to get Plot Settings Dictionary.
==================================================

I have this idea that removing *Model* from the list will do it. In addition to causing PDF creation failure, I believe it is also responsible for forcing the Model to always be in the Publish list, even though I have unchecked the "Include model when adding sheets" option. I can remove it from that list manually, but it comes back every time.

AutoCad :: Plot A Drawing On Vertical Page Layout

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Switching Layout Tabs By Clicking On The Tabs?

Sep 19, 2013

issues switching layout tabs by clicking on the tabs?

Occasionally, clicking the Model or other layout tab results in no action, as if I'm not clicking on it.

All other controls (within and external to C3D) function normally so it's not a mouse hardware issue.

It will usually correct itself if I "restore down" the main application window, then maximize it again.

The -layout command is a workaround too.

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 :: Aligning Title Block In Layout Tab?

Jan 6, 2014

Many times when I receive a drawing from an architect, when I go into the layout tab the titleblock info/XREF doesn't line up with the page layout.  I would assume it lined up when the architect sent it to me in his software.  For years the solution I use is to XREF the architects PDF in the layout and then go to print and change the Print Offset till it looked right in the print preview.  Then I would apply it to the layout.  I would then take the offsets and apply it to every sheet.  This is a very time consuming process and was wondering if there is a better way to make this work and still keep the scales.  I was also wondering if there was a way to move and align the layout on the fly in the paperspace.

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Apply New Page Setup To Multiple Layouts?

Nov 3, 2011

Okay, so I have about 25 layouts on this particular drawing that already have a default page setup assigned to them. I just created a new page setup and want to apply it to these layouts...but I cannot. I can select the right setup in the publish window but it does not stay current after publishing.

The problem also comes up if I do a "-purge" or wblock the entire drawing as to remove weird elements. The pagesetups then show as missing.

If I create a new drawing and setup the page setup for the first time AutoCAD will ask if I would like to apply to all layouts. Where is this option for existing drawings?

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Page Orientation Different Between Version 2012 And 2013

Sep 24, 2013

Copied the printer configuration (pc3 and pmp) from AutoCAD 2013 to AutoCAD 2012. Plot the same drawing with that same printer configuration. With AutoCAD 2013, it plots out fine - page orientation landscape. In 2012, it plots out wrong. The orientation of the drawing is correct, but the paper is changed to portrait?

The plot setting are exactly the same in both versions.

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Add Information To Page Setup Override Plotted Files?

Jun 16, 2011

I use Sheet Set Manager to create and output sheets. Typically I will setup the pages to 24x36 and set to output to our HP.

If I want to output to 11x17 pdf, I use a page setup override and it works fine.

What I would like to be able to do is add a watermark -- using transparent text -- that says "Not to Scale" across the print when I use the page setup override.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Imported Page Setups Not Working?

Mar 12, 2013

I've tried in a few different files now to import some sheet file (paper space) layouts from other files and it is just giving me a blank screen once I choose the file to import from.  The paper space layouts aren't showing up to choose from, if that makes any sense.  It has been awhile since I've had to do this, so admittedly could be doing something wrong, but I don't think so as I've searched but found none.

I'm right clicking on the paper space tab and choosing "Page setup manager" then "import", finding the file I want to import from and then the next box pops up with what is supposed to be the layouts to choose from but it's blank.

AutoCad 2D :: Removing Page Setups From Multiple Drawings

May 4, 2011

I have quite a few thousand of drawings that each has a different page setup saved in them. What I would like to do is to remove all of these pageset ups from these drawings, import a newly one, set it to current and then save the file for later printing. Maybe some lisp file that can accomplish this.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Importing Page Setups

Any Lisp routine available out there that will import a page setup in multiple drawings in one shot and save it to the group of drawings? Kind of the way you can import a page setup in a group of drawings in Publish, but that's only temporary for that particular print job. I'm looking for something that will permanently save it to the list of drawings.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: How To Get A List Of Page Setups From Another Unopened DWG

Aug 16, 2013

I found a function on JTBWorld named listPageSetups, which appears to be meant for listing the pagesetups that exist in an "open" dwg file (as I can get it work for the current dwg).  So,

(1) Can this function be used to list page setups in another, un-opened dwg, and, if so, how?

(2) If the answer to (1) is No, is there a LISP way to get a list of page setups from another, un-opened dwg?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Page Setups Aren't Coming Up In SSM Overrides Menu

Nov 12, 2013

I have recently been using Sheet Set Managers (SSM) more recently and have found them quite handy but I am also finding some peculiarities with it too.  I have no issues setting up a SSM and getting it to plot all my sheets either to our plotter or to PDF at full size (24x36), however when it comes to setting up a half size (11x17) page setup and overriding to it, is where problems occur.

What I want is a page setup that I can select that will plot 11x17 from 24x36. So, I first created a page setup that does this in our template (.dwt) and then set the page setup overrides file to our template file (under sheet set properties). Next I right-cliked on my sheet set and went to "Publish" and then "Publishing Using Page Setup Override", but the list it populated for me did not reflect all of the page setups we have in our template???  It listed two page steups _24x36 and _30x42 (see attachment).  These page setups can be found in our template under page setup manager along with several others which don't show in the overrides (see attachment).

 Is there a reason the other page setups aren't coming up in the SSM overrides menu?
