AutoCAD VB :: Plot To Device Failing In 2005?
Jul 4, 2005
my app permits to the users select multiple DWG files, inserting them into a MSHFLEXGRID.
After this the user can select a DWT file and store in a matrix (PC) all its AcadPlotConfigurations.
The user can select distinct Page Layout for each DWG file selected.
Then running the code below, each file is opened in ACAD and then printed using the specific Page Layout.
This was running very good in ACAD 2002. After migrate to ACAD 2005 only the first file is printed. The others DWG files return FALSE to the PlotToDevice command.
Is it missing some command ?Does ACAD 2005 need anything extra to run ?
Obs: the DWT Page Layouts were created for MODELs and the files to be printed are using only the model space too.

how to find out using the .NET API if a plot device requires a file name when ploting?
E.g. choosing the plot to PDF device would require a file name.

I am having trouble using the publish command when I set the plotter to a 22x34 sheet. We are able to print to an actual plotter just fine at that size, but when we try and make a pdf set at that size, it just errors out.

Unable to plot with AutoCAD Map 3d. Problem just began. Reinstalled program. Installed SP-1. AutoCAD will not plot to ANY device. Previews just fine. Printer icon behaves as if plotting. Stays at that point until plot is cancelled.

I have one workstation running Autocad LT 2007 on a windows 7 32 bit OS, and needs to print to a non plot printer, which is a Kyocera KM-4050 KX. I am unable to print to this printer through Autocad LT 2007 and recieve the following error message . . .
"\ServerNamePrinterName: This plotter configuration conanot be used for one of these reasons: The driver cannot be found, the device can not be found, or the driver has a problem. The None plot device has been substituted."
The Printer works fine with all other applications, and the rest of the users who have Autocad LT 2011 have no issue printing.
I followed the instructions in [URL] ..... and did not see my printer model in the list and was unable to load the driver from a disk.I believe the file it was looking for was .hif, which could not be found.
I also uninstalled and reinstalled the printer driver, and did some testing, so the printer works fine except for this application. According to the user the print function never worked for them in Autocad LT 2007.

Two different plot settings (saved as page setups) will produce different results for exactly the same 34"x22" output. I have been bucking this problem since I started using AutoCAD C3D. I have a program to adjust the label scaling of my point labels so they are readable in both model space and layouts and when non-raster plotters are used, but now I must adapt it for other C3D labels before I can use them.
Below is my setup for plotting ANSI-D (34"x22") TIFF files at 288dpi. I have been using this plot device and setup almost exclusively since about 2001. The output is 9792 pixels x 6336 pixels which is set as a custom paper size to match my 288 dpi resolution (it is 288dpi because that is a multiple of 72dpi which is the default resolution of AutoCAD's TIFF raster output. It is 72dpi regardless of the fact that the plot scale is specified as 288 pixels = 1 unit or 288dpi). I must reset the dpi to 288 using image software so the resulting PDF will have a size of 34"x22" instead of 136"x88". You can see in the preview output I captured that their size difference cannot be attributed to these size differences. The plots are of the exact same layout showing point labels with only the page setup changed.
TIFF Plot Setup
PDF Plot Setup
TIFF Plot Output (34"x22")
PDF Plot Output (34"x22")
how to get Autodesk to address or even acknowledge this label scaling error?

Now I'm going to write a code that will change current plot device of the drawing and there isn't a problem here:
acPlSetVdr.SetPlotConfigurationName(acPlSet, newPrinter, "A4");
But how can I leave default paper size not "A4"? For example if there is "A3" it should stay "A3". Because if I go through each drawing I don't know what is the current paper size I just need to change the plot device becuse default has been crashed for example. But if I write "A4" each drawing will have "A4".

I have one drawing per file at model tab. When I need to plot a multiple page file, I use:
Print > Batch Plot.
The problem is that I have to set plot configurations ( plot style table, plot area, paper size, etc) in each file before use Batch Plot.
Now I received 722 files with a wrong Plot Style Table. For this time I change the associated *.ctb file at Plot Style folder, but I will need to associate the right *.ctb to each drawing. It's also common to have to change other properties.

My computer with Windowsxp has AutoCad LT 2005. It's locked up and I can't get to my files. Fortunately, I have most of the AutoCad drawings I created backed up. I'm looking at a new laptop with Windows 8 and will purchase AutoCad LT 2012 or 2013. Question: Will I be able to load the drawings created in 2005 into 2012 AutoCad?

My laptop crashed with 2005 but I still have the disks with my drawings stored in them. The 2005 is so old it won't load onto Win7 in my new laptop. But I do have a friend who has 2009. Can I still access my drawings.

Drawing created in AutoCAD LT 2005 - in AutoCAD LT 2013, several layers are not present. Tuned off all filtering, etc. Noted that some blocks will not appear in layouts even though the layer they are on is not frozen in the layout.
Not clear why layers in LT 2005 will not show in LT 2013 I attached offending file.I am self-taught and LT 2013 is a little daunting for me.
Forgot to mention that layer AX-COL-SYMB-2 does not show up in LT 2013. Also, block for column line symbols (circle/column numbers) will not show in layouts in LT 2013, but will in LT 2005.

This morning I opened AutoCad LT 2005 and was going to print a map with multiple layers. Everytime I tried to open the layers tool AutoCad LT 2005 would lock up. I would go to the task manager and it showed that it was still running but I could not do anything in the program. I closed Autocad LT from the task manager and opened up a blank document and tried to view layers and it locked up once again. I re-installed AutoCad LT 2005 from original disk and still I have the same behavior.

I have drawn several shapes including simple ones like rectangles with the corners filleted to 2" radii and ones shaped like a jelly bean using a combination of polylines, straightlines and arcs.
In my ACAD LT 2005 files, the arcs, fillets and polylines all appear very smooth (I set the display setting to 10,000) after I saw that the arcs had noticeable facets (like a diamond) when zoomed in.
My problem is that when I send these DXF files to my CNC router technician and he imports them into his program (EnRoute V.5). All of those arcs, fillets, and polylines still have those facets in them and do not appear smooth. When we actually cut plywood from these files, the pieces are in fact choppy.
My question- besides the display settings, is there a setting that I can change that will increase the number of control points that make up these curves that would smooth these facets out?

I've been running ADT 2005 successfully on windows XP Pro for a year, but suddenly after running the backup program in windows XP, I effectively cannot startup and run AutoCAD for all the "Resource Manager Errors".
Checking the Autodesk knowledge base, the problem is recognized, but the solution does not appear to be available to me. Here is what Autodesk has to say:
Startup error: Cannot load resource only dll
Published date: 2004-10-21
ID: TS100289
Applies to:
Autodesk Architectural Desktop 2005
Issue
When you attempt to launch a session of Autodesk Architectural Desktop 2005, the following error message is displayed:
Cannot load resource only dll
Solution: This error message typically occurs on systems running a backup software, such as Backup Software Verita 9.1. This software runs a remote agent that causes a conflict with the loading of ARX and DLL files associated with Autodesk Architectural Desktop 2005. In these instances, disabling the remote agent will restore the ability to launch and utilize Autodesk Architectural Desktop 2005.
*[back to me] - I've searched for the aformentioned "remote agent" on my system, but to no avail. Meanwhile, I cannot run ADT as it asks for missing files at startup and at every command.

Is there any other way to import MDT 2005 models to Inventor 2013 with having MDT 2005 platform loaded.
If not, where might I find MDT 2005. I have looked everywhere and it seems to be non existant. It would be alot faster than rebuilding anew in inventor and engineers hate to redo something alredy done correctly.

the newest model I have made I have run into some troubles. When I switch between one member and another most parameters update correctly but the part is still requiring an update before the finished part is created.
When the feature small sheds is enabled the pattern isn't working correctly.It seems as though the height that controls the sheds is not updating during the member change process and is causing the pattern to be the wrong length.
I have set up a form to add my parameters as there are a large number in the ipart table.I can't generate my member files as they show the member before it is updated and is wrong.

The subject basically says it all. I am trying to emboss two words onto a solid model. Unfortunately it keeps failing. I am copying this model off of U-Tube models "LED LAMP"
Try and use the emboss feature and engrave the words "LED LAMP" On the centre of the top of my solid model part. Top View reads vertically going up the way.
Please edit part 8. Then start the Emboss process. 1/64 = Depth. Flat White colour. Following the video on youtube they use engrave from face then reverse the direction the arrow points towards the model. Then OK. That's the way I am showed it and I can't get it to engrave.

In an idw of an assembly, I have made a section view and gave it a distance of 10in expecting to only view my assembly 10 in from the section line.
However, all I get was a slice 10 in deep from the top, my section view wasn't looking at the full height of my assembly.
I started a new print, inserted the same model and the same thing happened. This is only occuring with this model, other models are working just fine.

I'm trying to bring a lsp routine up to date and it's almost as if I'm a newbie again. A dialog image worked okay in 2005 but in version 2012 displays poorly. So I made a new slide in 2012 and saved it to the same name as the old one, HobMasterDialog.sld, and placed it in the same folder as the old one. However, when the dialog appears the rectangular area for the image is blank.
What am I forgetting?

Our CAD operator is attempting to print batches of DWG files from within AutoCAD 2010 LT, but every time that he does a batch of jobs, only half or less of the jobs actually print, while the rest leave his queue and then display in the printer status as 'Canceled.' This only occurs for color prints. The same batches of jobs in black and white print fine. Also, if we take the same data and convert it to a single PDF and send only that one PDF as a color print job, it prints. On the printer side, the DWG jobs are marked as 'Deleted' with an explanation of "Insufficient accounting allocation," which refers to the printing limits that we have assigned our users for the printer. However, the user is not over his limit, and any non-CAD job prints without any problems. I checked with our printer company but they think it's an issue with the software. Is there a known issue with AutoCAD 2010 LT failing to print batches of color drawings?
