AutoCad :: Printing Too Small
Jul 5, 2012
I am running Auto Cad 2012. For some reason that I can't figure out when I try to print the last few jobs, they are are printing too small. For example I setup paperspace for 24 x 18. Blow out the project to fit in the entire space. The printer, which by the way is an HP Designjet T2300, pulls out enough paper but the actual job is smaller. It has happened with a few different projects. If I print to a PDF then print the project from Acrobat...it's fine. I am quite baffled. Never did this before. Everything was fine up until a few days ago.

Inserted an alignment line table. It's in model space and viewported (locked) to the layout. On the screen it looks fine but during print preview and printing it comes out too small. Can this be controlled?

I have CS5. The photos coming out of the camera are 300 dpi and approx 12.8" x 19.2". When I crop the photo to 300 dpi and 8x10 and send it to print, the printer says the photo is too small. It comes across as 72 dip and 8.333" x 6.667". I was expecting photos to come out of the camera with 72 dpi and a huge length x width. I can then crop and print without issue. Is there a photoshop setting that needs to be set? Is there a different work flow I need to use? I shoot with a 5D Mark III.

When trying for borderless A4 prints there is always a small border on the top and right hand edge of the resulting print.
This only happens when using LR.I am printing to a Kodak c310 printer.

How do I convert the colour profile of a Lightroom custom printing package from Adobe Prophoto to sRGB before printing? For that matter, how do I save the thing? I have no interest in saving the template, or the collection separately, since neither has any use without the other. And without saving them as one finished item, I have no way to convert the colour profile of that item. I can see clearly from the appearance of the print preview that the above mentioned colour profile conversion is required.

i have an image that is 28' wide by 60' high. i have to tile print it, but i have to print it out on film (see thru acetate). it has to be able to print at 1400 dpi. i know how to print at 1400 dpi on adobe photoshop, but i dont know how to tile print on that program. i have the image now in illusrtator, because it lets me tile, but i cant get it to print out for film (1400 dpi). im using a epson 1280 printer.
i really need to be able to tile print this in high resolution on film. anyone know what i can do??

What I exactly mean is I have a part like a cylinder with different small things in it, like below on the picture and I want to cut out a particular selection, a particular piece, so I can do dimensions of it on the side because obviously it would be too small to do it on the main part. So, where is the proper and simple way of doing it. The only way I can think of, is to it create a circle and use a trim feature, but it would take too long.

I have the 2013 civil 3D version. I am doing a site plan for school, and would like to print it out so that everything shows up clearly.
I would like to print it on a 24x36 sheet, so I have set up my page to that size. When I maximize my viewport to the page borders so that the viewport is at its largest and scale the viewport so that the entire site plan fits in the viewport, everything shows up so small in the print preview screen. The annotations show up as black bars and I can only read them if I zoom in. I have limited access to printing so I want to make sure I get it right! Will I be able to read the annotations and hatching once it has printed? Even though I can't read them in the print preview or layout without zooming in?
I am using annotation scaling, so maybe my text height is wrong? Maybe I need a larger sheet than 24x36? My viewport and annotation scales are set to 1"=20' and box drawn around my site would be about 100' x 300'.

I have just updated a whole load of block symbols as some numpty didn't put them on layer 0. When i have created a tool palette of the symbols, 4 of approx 30 symbols have got such a tiny tool image, that its impossible to see them, but oddly the rest are fine.
I have checked the blocks are zoomed to extents, checked the drawing limits are the same ones that are okay, and checked that the size of the block is the same, effectively i can not see any difference between the blocks. Even when i increase the image size to max in the tool palette view options the symbol is to small to identify. Oddly in windows explorer and in ACAD design center there is no issue with the tool image size.
Whilst i could manually create a new image, and tell the tool palette to use it, if this happens with all the blocks, it could be time consuming, when there could be a very simple answer i have over looked.

I have released a new tool for ACAD users and it would be great if I could find some beta testers. so what about you? 3D Injector is a stand alone application designed to create 3D Drawings from small images. Once the image is selected, the program will inject the necessary code into the ACAD command line to create a 3D mesh based on this image. Every pixel on the image is converted into a 3D point where the Z coordinate is elevated according to the pixel luminosity. URL....

When viewed with x-ray visual style on autocad 2012 the view used to smooth as if I were looking through glass. When I view the drawing with autocad 2008 I get small dots or "x" all over my solids. Now Ive worked on the drawing on 2008 saved it and opened it in 2012 and now the dots or "x"s are happening in both versions. I used to think it was a video card issue but now that it's happening both places it can't be. How I get back the smooth glass look I had on 2012 version.

I am trying to model a small component which has an OD. that is a 3/4-14 NPS thread. The part is relatively small and has additional machined surfaces, but I cannot create the basic shape with an external thread as the OD.

In LT2008. Dragging blocks (individual files) from ADC to tool palette. Some of the images are unreadable, just a dot or two. The drawing files are saved with the image filling the screen. Changing the size of the image in the tool palette does not work. I have tried plotting to .jpg and .png, the images are grayed. What is the best way to make a nice image for the tool palette to display at a medium size?

I am trying to export and save numerous Inventor Assembly Models, to send to various customers to import into their models. I have been saving them as .stp files, but they are very large files after exporting, and I'd like to know if there is a way to decrease the exported file size. I could zip them after I create them, but I was hoping there was an easier way or different format than .stp. I could also suppress numerous internal componants, but I would rather not have to go through that task either. In the end, they would really only require the outer shell, with any externally viewed holes still present.

I have a large ex surface that I have divided into basins and such. I know need to evaluate the slopes in these areas. To do the whole surface at once seems to not be possible. Is there a way in c3d to view analysis information for a section of surface for instance in a polyline or fence?

How to create a very small DXF file with just a rectangular frame and the words "Missing Proforma"?
I have a VB6 program for producing our loop drawings which modifies a DXF drawing. All works very nicely but sometimes mistakes are made in the database and my routine gets upset. Previously it just reported the error but today I modified it to look for a "blank" dxf file on the network. This works very well but I am aware that if the folder gets renamed my routine won't find the file.
I thought that I could hard code the dxf file into my VB prog but the DXF file I made is VERY big, and I am sure contains a lot more information than is actually necessary for my needs.

Why don't my paper space thumbnails seem to be saving as 1024 pixels? Drawings that are saved while model space is active do save as 1024 pixels, so the problem only occurs when the thumbnails are a snapshot of a layout sheet. Changing the "Thumbsize" variable has no effect, and I can see the file size doesn't change either, even though the thumbnail is clearly updating because I can see little geometry changes. But when the thumbnail is of model space, then the "Thumbsize" variable works exactly as I'd expect.
To be specific, I'm referring to the preview pane of Win7's Windows File Explorer. As I increase the size of the preview pane, the thumbnail stays tiny-literally the size of my thumb. This makes the preview pane significantly less useful.
My maxium thumbnail pixel size "Thumbsize" is set to 1024. My "Updatethumbnail" is set to 16 (it was 15 originally but I don't even know what a 15 value does).
The attached drawing is saved as an AutoCAD 2010 file (AC1024):

Everytime I open ACAD2013 and start from the "drawing1" position, model space is unworkably small, we are talking mm here.
How do I ensure that upon opening I have a workable sized model space ?

Every time I insert a north arrow it needs to be scaled up afterwards. Normally, scaling up by the same factor as the viewport that I select is about right.

I have been attempting to create motor windings for a small centrifugal pump.I found these 2 pictures of windings created with Inventor but i was unable to view them as files.How are the copper wires formed to get the windings like in the pictures attached.
I could only manage the rim in the Inventor file and not the wires
It looks like a wire is created and then patterned but the looks like a 3D sketch is needed for wire and then circle pattern?

If I start autocad and draw a line then change its linetype from continuous to Fenceline2 it shows up like it's supposed to, a line with small squares in it. I can also change it's linetype to Fenceline1 and the linetype shows up just fine with the line and small circles in it.
But when I call up some existing autocad drawings that have lines with the Fenceline1 or Fenceline2 linetypes assigned to them, the small boxes or circles are missing from the linetypes. When you type linetype at the command prompt the linetypes are listed in the dialog box, but for some reason they are not showing up right in the existing drawing. When I type linetype, and hit the load button, and browse to my acad.lin file and select it, I get an error message of Bad Definition for linetype Fenceline1 and another for Fenceline2 and another for Batting etc.
So why are these Complex linetypes not working in the Existing drawing but work fine in the just call up autocad empty drawing, and how do I fix them to work in the existing drawing?

I have placed my assembly onto the idw and the line weight is set up correct for the majority of the drawing, but the small details, line less than 1mm together still carry the same line weight as the rest of the drawing. They are coming out far too thick as one big fat line.
Is there a way (Automatically, not RHM change layer) to select lines that are close together to move to a different layer that has a different line weight? I dont really want to go around selecting every line close together and changing the layer or weight do I?

I am a surveyor doing an asbuilt of some ponds. I am working in the engineer's dwg. In PS, he does not scale down his drawing sheet block to 1"=1', he keeps it the same scale as model space, i.e. 1"=50'.
He has a viewport in the layout, and my Cogo Points seemed to be scaled at 1"=1', which makes them much to small, but everthing else is scaled correctly.
How can I make my Cogo Points appear bigger in PS?
I tried dbl-clicking in the viewport to be in MS, and the viewport says it's scale is 1'0" = 1'0". When I change it to 1"=50', the model view shrinks way down (the viewed area is bigger), and when I scroll to make the model view bigger, the Cogo Points are still small.
When I read the Properties of the viewport, it says:
Anno scale: 1"=50
Standard scale= 1"=50
Custom scale= 0.02
How I can get this viewport to make my Cogo Points big as they should be?
