My Boss wants me to plot a map of the US on our company plotter. I know how to do this, except I do not have a file of a map.The one that is in the "Samples" folder does not open, and shows a message of invalid file. I downloaded a file and it does the same thing.
I am using version 2006 (and content with it) on Windows XP (also content with it).
What is the best export/import format for sending 3D files. I need some neutral format files, possibly Solidworks but I am not sure. Also any export settings to make sure I get decent quality files.
Nothing like getting a surface model when you want solid model.

We have a computer that using AutoCAD Architecture 2013 and Acrobat 9 Standard. When printing a large sheet (30"x42") with images in it to a PDF the images do not appear in the newly created PDF. However, if the same file is printed to fit an 11x17 the images display correctly. Any thoughts as to why the large sheet size is not printing properly?

View 4 Replies View RelatedLooking for a pdf to dwg converter that works very well. I am recreating some old drawings with Inventor that are currently in pdf format and would like to convert them to dwg's simply so I check the missing dimensions using AutoCAD. I've seen several converters out there and have tried one. However, the converter I tried resulted with the dwg being created with short polyline segments.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've created the attached table (used as legend in drawing, to point out revisions).
Cells in second column from the left are set as data dd/MM/yyyy, so when I change revision I write current data and it give correct format.
The problem is that every time I change layout and come back (or every time I open the drawing), data in empty cells were set to 01/01/1970...but I want them empty.
If I clean them, I clean also the data format.
Over the years I have had to occassionally save (export) an Inventor idw into an AutoCAD dwg file. Now, at IV version 2013, does it still not happen correctly. Why doesn't the process export the title block, border, notes, etc. into AutoCAD's paper space and export the model and dimensions into model space all in one step. It's either all paper space or all model space. Then I have to spend time to correct the AutoCAD drawing. Is there a better method to do this that results in a correct AutoCAD drawing in one export step? Maybe a third party software?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm using Autocad LT 2012 on Windows 7 Professional. I'm also using Microsoft Office Professional 2010. My question is how to change the colour of all cells in a table at once. For example, I copy a section of an Excel spreadsheet, then use "Paste Special", "Autocad LT entities", to paste it into AutoCad. I would like all the text to be coloured "by layer". If I select all the text and go to "properties", the text colour is set to "by block". I can change this to "by layer", but nothing changes. The only way I can seem to get it to change is by selecting the text in an individual cell, highlighting it, and then changing the colour in the text formatting toolbar. I have to then do this for each individual cell. Is there a way to change them all at once?
View 3 Replies View RelatedYesterday, I sent a drawing that I scaled as 1/2" = 1'-0" in an Adobe PDF, and was told by the receiver that the drawing scale was off by 3-4% when they measured it. Hoping that is was the printer's problem, I sent a drawing from another file to FEDEX, and went and scaled that one myself. Sure enough, it's off. It doesn't matter whether it is windowed or brought in a paper space viewport.
