AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Opening Drawings And Printing Over WAN Is Slow?

Aug 13, 2013

Is there a way to increase the access time so printing is faster?

I have AutoCAD 2013 and access drawings over VPN (6 meg pipe).

Both opening the drawings and especially printing them take a very long time.

It takes about 8 seconds to open drawings, due to all the modules loading on the bottom-left of AutoCAD. Printing takes even longer than opening the drawings.

Is there a setting I can change to speed-up access time?

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 :: Long Delays When Printing From Drawings On Local Server?

Feb 8, 2013

When we print from a read-only drawing file that is stored on our local drawing fileserver (a PC on our network that is used to store all finished drawing files) it can take several minutes to open the Plot screen and several more minutes to actually print the drawing.  It doesn't matter which printer we use to print to.  Some of us have had this problem since AutoCAD 2010 but some have had it only since 2013.  However if we use an old AutoCAD 2007 there is no printing delay problem so the server doesn't seem to be the source of the problem.

If we print from a drawing file on our own systems (which is actually working off a local network server unless the server is down then we are working off our own computers that will re-sync with the server when it comes back on line) then there is no delay.  I have  made some local files read-only to see if that was the trigger but no, they printed just fine.

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.

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 :: Randomly Get Fatal Error Every 10 To 15 Drawings That Print?

Aug 23, 2011

When I am printing from AutoCAD LT 2012, I randomly get this error message every 10 to 15 drawings that I print. Considering that I print 10-15 drawings at one time, I am getting a fatal error every time I print a set. Why? I don't get this error when printing in AutoCAD 2011LT or 2012 Full Version.

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 LT :: PDF Print From Paper Space - Slow Preview Then Will Not Complete The PDF Plot

Sep 20, 2013

Have a dwg with two layouts sheets that print to  pdf in paper space - one layout works just fine the other NOT.

Both include one view port and a few small details as pdf underlays(@ 150 kb each) in the PAPER space layout.

The problem  sheet -  ran a very slow plot preview but it did complete a full view of the layout,  then when selected to do the plot it never completes the pdf.

I tried a pdf plot of the same area in MODEL space and it previews just fine and plots to a pdf just fine.

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Publish And Automatically Load All Open Drawings?

Sep 20, 2011

I don't remember ever using this checkbox on the Publish dialog box but today i want to and i can't figure out how to make it work. The help file ~seems~ to say that if i select this, the contents of all open documents (layouts and/or model space) are automatically loaded.... but they don't.

I know i can pick the Add Sheets button and manually select all the drawings i have open but doesn't that defeat the purpose of this checkbox?

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 :: 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 :: 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.
