AutoCAD LT :: Unable To Allow To Print Black Box On Sheet Of Paper

May 25, 2010

My work entails regenerating new drawings from aging specification drawings and figures. Very little actual CAD, more hand-tracing JPGs than anything. I'm new to AutoCAD LT and haven't used most of its features. But the one feature I really need right now is to be able to print a black box on a sheet of paper.

As in, a 2-D closed polygon with a solid black fill. Unfortunately, AutoCAD LT doesn't think I should be allowed to print a black box on a sheet of paper.

I've tried assigning the color to the box using properties. I've tried defining layers and moving the box to the "black" layer (funny that "black" isn't a defined color in AutoCAD...that's way cool...). I've tried various settings in the Plotter setup screen.

I have a color plot table selected and I'm trying to print to .PDF. I work strictly out of the model view and do a lot of print previews. What am I, or have I, done, or not done, that I'm supposed to be doing, to print the box?

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Export Drawing From Paper Space - Small Details In PDF

Jun 1, 2011

I've run into a small problem while trying to export a drawing from paper space as a PDF.  The drawing is of an electrical panel for a product.  The panel is rather large, but the drawing includes some smaller details, such as a vendor logo on a component or a few extra lines on the border of a display screen.  We have a large, multi page PDF file that uses A4 paper size that I need to insert this drawing into, so the export must be at this size.  When exporting, I have CAD set to use monochrome and ignore the line weights, which solved my initial problem that the parts would show up as solid black splotches.

Now that the back story is over, here's the problem.  When I export the pdf, everything looks great except these small details around the components.  For some reason, the lines in the components will shift to one side or the other, causing breaks between features.  Most of these breaks occur between an arc endpoint and a line endpoint.  The export also excludes some smaller bits of geometry.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Apprentice Server - Printer Always Print Out The Drawing On Letter Size Paper

May 20, 2005

I am having problems printing to drawing sizes other then A Size (Letter).

I have scanned through the messages in this Newsgroup and tried everything that I have found, including making sure that I set the properties in a specific order.

No matter what size I specify, the printer spits out the drawing on an A Size piece of paper.

Here is my

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Place Black Background On Drawing?

Aug 28, 2013

I am trying to place a black background on a drawing so once it is printed it will be easier to read. I place a solid hatch in a boundary and use the DRAWORDER command to place in underneath everything else, but when I plot the dwg to pdf the black hatch comes out grey in the pdf (see attached pdf)

Is there an alternative that I can use to add a black background to a dwg?

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: 3D Drawing Won't Plot In Black And White Using CTB

Nov 21, 2011

We do most of our drawing in 2D – quaint I know, but that’s the way the office works.  On occasion we’ll do something as a solid model to guide a client understand a complex roof or a clearance problem. We started a model for a project we are working on and ended up using it as building elevations.

The problem is with plotting. If I use our standard office CTB (which is set to print as black), I get color printouts no matter what I try. I have tried using an STB and changing all our layer colors to “7” in an attempt to make it print black, but I'm getting extremely undesirable - seemingly random - line weight results.

The client wants the next project done in 3D as well and I’d like to be able to have the elevations look right.

AutoCad :: Black Region Appears In Paper Space

May 2, 2013

I have an issue with a file when I plot only. The black 'mask' appears only after plotting. It does not show up in print preview.

There are no frozen layers or switched off through viewports. When I open the viewport on a new paperspace page it follows me in. I can only assume there is an underlying mask in model space or paperspace.

AutoCAD Architecture :: More Than One Print Per Sheet Of Paper

Jun 28, 2012

Any way to print sheets from AutoCAD onto one sheet of paper, side-by-side?

The reason this came up is because yesterday I printed a half size set on our new plotter using twice the paper I needed.  Each sheet printed on half of a 36”x12” sheet of paper (print is 18”x12”).  I was throwing away 18” per print.  What would be awesome is to be able to get another print onto that wasted 18”.

how to get two (or more) prints on one sheet of paper?

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Can't Add Custom Paper Sizes

Sep 23, 2004

I`m using AutoCAD2004 with HP Designjet 800 Plotter.

The Plotter is connected to network.

I want to add some Custom Paper Sizes, however, when I open the options for the plotter(User-defined Paper sizes&calibration), I can`t add or modify paper sizes. The `Add` button is not available.

I set my computer to `Power Users` but still cant add. How to make the `Add` or `Delete` buttons usable?

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Paper Size Filtering

Oct 19, 2011

I'm having a problem making paper size filtering 'stick'.

For years I've configured PC3 and their associated PMP files for each of our printers and plotters. As a part of the configuration, I filter out all the paper sizes we don't use. Once the PC3 and PMP files are configured, they're copied to all the local PC's. I've never had a problem with this, until now.

On the PC where the PC3 file is configured, the filtering is correct. On any other PC, various paper sizes are added. For instance, I'll filter out all paper sizes on printer "X" except for 8.5x11 and 11x17. On a similar PC, the paper sizes "16k 197x273mm" and "8k 273x394mm" are added.

If I point the PC's to a location on our network where the PC3 and PMP files are stored, I get the same results.

We have two OS's here - Win7 Pro and XP Pro. All OS's are kept up-to-date. All the Win7 PC's use the same version of the HP Universal Print Driver. All the XP PC's use the same version of the printer specific drivers.

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Plotting To Roll Paper

Feb 18, 2013

We have a T790 44in, with 42" roll paper installed.

The thing I'm having trouble with, is getting it to act like it has roll paper. I can set custom paper sizes in the printer drives all day (such as 42" x 42") but this is only half way accurate, and can waste a lot of paper.

Is there a particular way to set the printer to use the roll paper?

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Publishing To PDF Goes To Wrong Paper Size?

Aug 20, 2013

I have layouts set to print to a printer in the office, sometimes with different sized sheets. Everything worked perfect until we upgraded from Civil 3d 2013 to 2014. Where I'm gettin a problem now is publishing to PDF. It will cut off the left and right margins of the 11x17 sheets. I've tried everything and looked everywhere but can't keep it from doing that.

Is there anywhere to set the publish to PDF settings? I've played with the DWG to PDF.pc3 settings and no change.
