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 :: Network Printer Is Printing Blanks?

Dec 9, 2011

I have a HP DesignJet 110 nr connected as a network printer.  I have all the drivers updated including the network card. I have unistalled and reinstalled all the drivers and software.  I have also replaced the ink cart. too.  When I print in AutoCAD 2011 it acts like it is printing stuff, but it goes throught the whole process and nothing prints. I just started creating PDFs and sending them to the printer, but thought I would give it a new shot.

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Some Text Is 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.

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 :: Printer Function Hangs Up?

Apr 2, 2012

When I try printing, autocad gives me the following message (see attached pic).  I deleted that driver out of system preferences.  Yet it sitll keeps looking for it.   I get the spinning rainbow for about 5 minutes, the  the print dialogue eventaully comes up.  I can print, but that takes over 5 minutes as well.   Seems like autocad gets stuck in a loop looking for a driver or something.   How do I fix this.  Printing a single pages takes me about 10 minutes.    Do anything within the page setup manager results in a spinning icon for a few minutes as well.

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: New Large Format Printer

Aug 3, 2012

My company will be getting a new large format printer to replace the current one we have. We don't have room enough to have both running at the same time so I'm imagining one-day down then viola, we have a new printer.

How I can prepare for this as far as creating the necessary Plot Styles, pc3, pmp...files? Because i have many items on my to-do list, this could take a day or two with all the testing and i can't image the uproar from our CADers about going without a plotter for two or three days.

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Setting Up Printer Format

Oct 2, 2012

I have to set up my drawing on the model page so that I can save it as a PDF and then transfer it into adobe illustrator. My scale is 1:1, and when I put it on the model page I'm doing a 1/8" : 1' scale. It should fit on the page no problem, its only a 9" model plan on 1/4 scale, so it should be 4.5" on the page. However, it's too big for the page.

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: 2013 Crashes Setting Up Kip 5000 Printer

Apr 23, 2012

AutoCAD 2013 crashes during the plot configuration for our printer. When I select Custom Properties for our Kip 5000 Series Printer I get an Unhandled Exception popup. When I click continue I get a message that "AutoCAD Applicaiton has encountered a problem and needs to close", the program crashes.  AutoCAD 2013 will not let us select the kip 5000.pc3 file we used for Autocad 2012.

How can I set my printer up if it keeps crashing the program. Is there a new driver for 2013, if so where do I find it. Is it from AutoCad or the printer company Kip America (who have yet to reply to my email).

I have attached the error message

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Plotting Blocks With Viewport Transparency

Jan 8, 2014

Trying to get blocks to plot transparent for only 1 viewport.  Using viewport transparency works for all objects in applicable layer except blocks that have been created using "0" layer. I cannot use transparency by block since the blocks must show in other layouts without transparency.  Also cannot re-create blocks using different layer since the source file is kept on network for all to use.  Is there a way to plot blocks with the vp transparency of its current layer despite having created the block in another layer?

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.

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.
