When printing in 3d with the vp set to 3dhidden and the shade plot set to hidden legacy some solid items print with the wire frame.  This usualy happens with torus and cones.  How do I stop this?

In the example look at the U-bolt.

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Fill Hatch Won't Print As Solid

Jan 10, 2014

I am trying to create logo's as blocks to insert into title blocks efficiently. I made the outline of the first logo and hatched it as a solid hoping it would print as a flat black but it is showing up as streaky, almost as if I used a different hatch at an extremely small scale. I don't think it is a printer issue because even when printed to .pdf format it still shows up as streaky.

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Wipeouts Plot Solid Black?

Jun 8, 2011

We have two Xerox 6204 Wide Format plotters, one in my office and one in another.  When I plot the wipeouts (w/in blocks on layer 0, color 255 which is set to 0 screening) it plots as it should.

When the same file plotted with the same *.ctb file in the other office the Xerox plots same wipeouts come out completely black.  (The LaserJet prints are not effected).

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Mac Doesn't Allow For Proper Printing On Their Plot Style Setting

Aug 29, 2013

I am a Mac user and new to AutoCAD. I am enrolled in a CAD class this semester and the instructor for my session is requiring Windows. Supposedly this is because AutoCAD for Mac does not allow for proper printing on their plot style setting. 

I understand that I can install Bootcamp and Windows on my computer, but I'd really like to avoid that if I can. If I were to do my work on my Mac and then digitally transfer my files to a PC for printing purposes, would my files become corrupted or compromised in any way?

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Pixelated Plot Of PDF In File When Printing To PDF

Apr 8, 2010

I am plotting a file that has a pdf referenced into it. The quality of the plot is degraded only at the inserted pdf. The rest of the AutoCAD file looks fine. The inserted pdf is a printed AutoCAD file which looks clear and even has embedded layers and linework I can snap to (which seems to indicate that there is vector information present when it is in Autocad.

I have attached an image with 4 zoomed-in screen shots to show what I'm describing.

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: JPEGs Plotting Solid Black?

Jan 13, 2013

I'm using a HP DesignJet T1100 (non postscript). I have inserted a screen capture of a google map into a sheet as a area/aerial location map for the project. Unfortunately, the jpeg is plotting out as solid black. I have tried inserting it in different ways but same result when plotting. I understand the difference between PS and nonPS plotters/drivers but I was under the impression that there was a setting to plot images in nonPS plotter dialouge box. I did find various incarnations of my question but nothing that directly speaks to it.

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: OLE Spreadsheet Plots Solid Black

Feb 27, 2013

Just upgraded my PC and before when I select plot quality "high graphics" the spreadsheet comes out low resolution, if I use monochrome spreadsheets came out perfectly defined.

Now with the new PC High graphics still comes out the same but when I select monochrome all I get is a solid black block. If the OLE object is an image (BMP) it comes out perfect with monochrome,it only happens with excel files

I search the forums for an answer but the closest I found was changing the OLE type under properties (currently is embedded); problem is the field is grayed out and cannot be changed just as the source application (ms excel 2003)

By the way, on the older files created with my old PC if I just open and print them from the new computer they come out perfect; if I open the OLE file and modify it, the solid black block shows up regardless if I print to PDF or print on paper.

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: PDF Underlay Printing

Oct 30, 2010

I'm using ACAD2011 and a HP  DesignJet 500 plotter. We use PDF underlays of scanned charts, maps, etc in our cad plans and sometimes the PDFs will only partially plots even though the rest of the cad line work plots. We are using 2007 dwg file format to make files compatible with another program. I have monkeyed with the RASTERPERCENT and RASTERTHRESHHOLD variables but still same problem.

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: DWG To PDF Not Printing Certain Files

Mar 5, 2013

DWG to PDF is not printing certain files correctly.  It appears to only happen with the dots hatch pattern and the Dots linetype with a 0.0003" lineweight in the CTB file.  The lines with the issue have color and pline width (zero).  Print preview show, plotting to a printer, and using adobe show the lineweight correctly but using DWG to PDF does not.

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Solid Hatch Color 255 Prints Black?

Mar 24, 2003

Because of the problems with wipeouts, I have switched to using some solid hatch set to colour 255. The hatch is in paperspace, sitting under titleblock and other Layout text. I am plotting to an HP1050C, using a .ctb file with 255 set with grayscale off.

The plot preview is fine, but the hatch blocks come out black on paper. I thought this was the problem with wipeouts, and that hatch didn't suffer from it.

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Center Printing Command

Apr 24, 2012

When batch plotting using an external plot utility from Model Space, I get pages with different placements on the paper, the issue appears to be that some sheets are selected for Center the Plot and some are not. Even though my plot utility has a selection for Center Plot, it won't override what is already in the page for this one option. Is there a line command I can run in a script that would allow me to set the plot to center without having to open each sheet and reset this manually?

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Missing Information When Printing?

Sep 23, 2011

I have a rather bizarre issue within AutoCad when printing.

This is affecting multiple people, using various machines (all the same model).  It is happening when they print to multiple printers, and also when they print to PDF.

They are losing some information.  The drawings themselves usually look ok, it is some of the extra data.  This can be in the footnote information in the corner.  This can be data within the actual drawing.  It is not a guaranteed fault, and affects them all intermittently.

I have PDF files created in AutoCad Arch 2010. When I print them some of the grayscale comes out as random zig-zag line pattern. When I veiw the PDF it looks fine. Images that do this are usually backgrounds of logos or shaded driveways / sidewalks. Some sheets out of a given set will print fine while others do this zig-zag thing?

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Printing To PDF To Printer Transparency

Dec 18, 2013

When I print to .pdf for A1 and plot, no worries, all lineweights print solid and perfectly. However, when I print to .pdf for A3 (scaling lineweights), whilst all the lineweights appear solid on the screen, when I plot the layers that are set to transparency are faded/rough/broken on paper.

Ticking the plot transparency box doesn't work and it happens to my printer at home and at work. I haven't used transparent layers before and have adopted this drawing created through someone else.

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Scriptpro 2.0 Not Printing With DWG To PDF Driver

Oct 28, 2013

I having difficulty batch printing using Scriptpro 2.0.  In short, scriptpro is using the simple batch file (see below), to add a xref and then printing using the DWG to PDF driver. I have tried using a paper printer, which works fine, so I suspect the problem is when scrippro calls the DWG to PDF driver.

I am using accoreconsole.exe application. 

I inserted a "qsave" command after the xref is inserted, and the xref does get saved, so, I know the script is working up to that point.

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Printing Multiple Drawings

Apr 10, 2006

Is is possible to "que" a bunch of drawings to be plotted? I would like to be able to open a drawing and plot it, then while it's plotting, open another drawing and plot it, then another and so on and so on. However, I get an error message stating that another plot is in process and only one plot or publish process can be active at one time. Thus, I'm forced to wait for the last one to complete before sending the next one to the plotter.

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Xref Not Printing In Hardcopy

Oct 13, 2011

I’ve attached a dwf as an xref and set up a viewport, however when i print the viewport contents show up on screen, and in the PDF, but if i print it to the physical printer, nothing comes out except the lines i drew in that drawing (i.e. the polylines as references for where my viewport is).

I’ve come across this before in an older version of AutoCAD but have forgotten how to solve it.

Also, is it possible to bind a DWF?  its seems you can do it with other things but not this file type.
