AutoCad :: Super Slow Printing With Images
Mar 5, 2012
The company I purchased AutoCAD 2012 Electrical from had no answers and referred me to Autodesk. Autodesk has told me I have to just live with it because they have no plans to fix the problem, even though they recognize the issue. So I turn to the largest user group I currently have access to.
When I print a drawing, regardless of page size, that contains and image, I have to wait upwards of 10 minutes before the printer sees the drawing and begins to print. The clients I work with use quite a few drawings that contain images and I have days where all I am doing is printing jobs because I have to wait so long.
I have tried to change the print drivers. The printers I use are HP Laser M5035. I connect to them through a network however I have tried to connect to them directly with the same results. The only thing I have found to speed up the proccess, which i find to be rediculous, is to print the job to PDF and then print the PDF to the printer.
I have had the AutoCAD retailer's technicians as well as the Autodesk technicians log into my computer remotely to fix this issue and both recognized the same issue but after a month of trouble shooting I am still at square one.
Before I upgraded to AutoCAD 2012E I had AutoCAD 2009E and printing drawings with images was not nearly as bad. If I did not have to have AutoCAD 2012E I would revert back but this is not an option.

I have an animation of a wine glass breaking. I simulated it using mass FX and particle flow. I will import it to After Effects, add finishing touches and render out a super slow mo clip like you would see on Discovery HD or Time Warp. In essence, I want it to look like it was shot on a high speed camera.
I tried a test render out of max at 960 fps and importing into AE at 25fps but the results aren't quite white I want.
My question is, what frame rate do I render the animation out inside 3ds max and what frame rate do I import/interpret it in After Effects?

When i turn on overprint mode illustrator redraw is super slow. I made real siple file with two boxes from what one is overprinted.When i turn on overprint mode and try to move one of the box it will take time to redraw it on the new place and there is no drag view at all.
I need to use overprint mode quite often and its not an option right now with so slow redraw. Do i need to go back to use sc5?

In the blink of an eye, importing pics all of a sudden has become super slow. It now takes 5x longer to importing off of memory card. Also having issues with plugins I use for B&W & HDR.
Not certain what to do. Seems Catalog got jacked up somehow and no clue what to do to remedy it.

For some reason when I scrub through my animation, it runs really slow. And it has nothing to do with my computer itself. It is the particular file. I tested this by opening up one of my others (i saved in iterations) and they all scrub just fine. All I was doing was animating with a rig, so there isnt any extra polygons or whatever. And on top of that, it worked just fine before I exited the program earlier, I even playblasted it and everything, and then I looked at the playblast later and decided I wanted to change something, reopened the file, and the timeline has been chugging ever since. I tried opening and closing maya already.

I import PDFs in Drawings and it takes forever to print. PDFs are only 400KB, so not big files.

I have a brand new Macbook Pro with Retina Display and am running CS6, shooting with a Mark III in full resolution raw format. Focus is on in camera but when I open the images in Photoshop, they do not appear super sharp when zoomed in.
Is this a display issue or a program issue or something else? In the past I can usually get the images so sharp that I can see every pore and hair.

My G12 Camera is able to super-impose date/time information on the images.
How can I remove this from the images using PS Elements?

Is there a way to increase the access time so printing is faster?
I have AutoCAD 2013 and access drawings over VPN (6 meg pipe).
Both opening the drawings and especially printing them take a very long time.
It takes about 8 seconds to open drawings, due to all the modules loading on the bottom-left of AutoCAD. Printing takes even longer than opening the drawings.
Is there a setting I can change to speed-up access time?

I have two systems. The first a windows 7 32 bit quad core with 8 gigs ram cs4 is installed on this sytem. Time to print a standard job on an epson 4800 (which includes hitting print, selecting options for the printer and then being able to close the file and open another) less than a minute.
Recently installed cs6 on new windows 7 x64 intel core i7 system with 12 gigs ram. I have used both cs4 and cs5 on this newer system. Both ran the same file in under a minute to print as outlined above. Once I installed cs6 however the print time ( as defined above) for the same file above has now gone to 22+ minutes. on cs6, 18+ minutes on cs5 and approx the same for cs4 (all versions of CS are 64 bit on this system)
If there isn't an update to cs6 soon, I presume I will have to de-activate cs6, cs5 and cs4 and then re-install cs4 and cs5 to take advantage of my faster system is that correct?

It's taking about 2 to 3 minutes for an image to start printing. This problem started with CS-3 and went away with CS-4 for about a week and then started with CS-4 also. What seems strange is that it suddenly started some time back in CS-3 and then went away when I upgraded to CS-4, but then came back again.
I ask it to print an image and then it takes 2 to 3 minutes before the printer dialog box shows up. I adjust for print size and click "print" again. Now it takes a couple of minutes for a second dialog box to pop up and I click "print" again. Now in about a minute the printer starts to print.  Once the printer starts printing, the speed is normal. What is the solution to my problem?

I work in a theatre and print a lot of programs and posters. If I send a print run of, say, 18 posters to the printer, Photoshop 7 generated once, then printed all the copies fairly quickly.
With CS4, it's like it's generating the image each time, so it's taking several minutes between each print. I tried saving as a pdf and going to Adobe Acrobat Reader to print and it does the same thing. Appears to work fine in Word and Excel, but of course, those are much smaller files.
I have to print 400 copies of an event program, how to speed things up!

We have started to deploy AutoCAD 2011 64 Bit on Windows 7 64 Bit machines and have come across an issue where when opening or saving files across a Cisco WAAS accelerated network that have referenced images takes a lot more time than drawings that do not have attached images. We have updated graphics drivers to the most recent certified driver from the autodesk site as well as disabling Aero and all the other Windows 7 tweaks to no avail. The files with images still open/save much slower than those without.

problem with loading large numbers of images, not large images, but a lot of images in VS11. I am loading a lot of images to make my annual slide show for the HS band and I am running into a problem where the images start loading quickly (1 second each) and after about 150-200 images you start to load slower and slower as much as 70 seconds on image #300). I don't remember having this issue with VS9, which is what I used last year.
I tried loading the same thing in VS10 and it is much better on the load. There is a recognizable slow down, but nothing like VS11. Before you ask, I would be fine with doing the slide show in VS10, but running in Vista VS10 crashes on me too much to get it done.

One of the clients at my work is experiencing difficulty printing using AutoCAD LT 2012. When he prints, only a blank page comes out of the printer. I have tested the printer and I am sure it works properly. It printed both a Windows test page and a color photo with no problems, which is leading me to believe that he has a setting within the program that should be changed.

I also would like to switch to a 2D work space so that I can print. Right now, all 3D images get completely pixelated when I try to print from paper space. How do I create a work space that is 2D so that I can print easier? My co worker has AutoCAD architectural and she can print 3D drawings just fine using her 2D work space.

I was wondering if there are some Photoshop filters which are very slow in processing images.
For example images of 0.2GB, 0.5GB, or even 1GB can be processed in few seconds with all filters? Or there are some filters requiring a longer time, something like minutes?

When I am viewing my images in the catalog, I don't know why it takes so long for my edited pics to render. It takes about 5 seconds. Is this normal?
I have tried increasing my cache size, auto xmp is off, I have build standard previews, I have upgraded to a faster hard drive, I frequently optimize my catalog.
Ideally, I want to be able to flip through all my catalog images fast without waiting for the developed pics to show.
The only thing I can thing is maybe storing my cache and catalog folders on my external hard drive is slowing it down?

I just checked whether the update to 5.2 would improve speed of rendering images in the Develop module for Nikon D800 NEF files but alas, LR is still taking its time to render images and going back and forth between two or more D800 NEF files to check focus at 100% magnification remains an excercise in meditation....
I had initially hoped that the move from LR 4.x to LR 5 would improve things but this wasn't the case - so when will Adobe finally catch up with the development in cameras with ever bigger files? The Nikon D800 came out one full year ago...

I have problem printing tiff images with a picture in Windows 7, 64 bit only on a laser printers. The processing of even the simplest of drawings to the printer takes too long, more than half an hour after that or stop with the press or to print only part of the drawing.
This problem does not appear when we print only the tiff images on a laser printer or print the entire drawing to a plotter. Also print these drawings with the tiff images without any problems under the previous operating system (XP). Note that we use the latest drivers for all printers.

We are using Illustrator CS4. Until recently, we had been using Freehand. When we place eps files saved from freehand, or open the freehand file in illustrator and drag the image onto our new templates, the image doesn't print. All the layers of our product templates print, and if something is typed or placed from another application, it prints fine. We can sometimes changed the color of the imprint and get it to print, but this doesn't always work.

I have been successfully printing images from CS3 on an Epson 3880. Now that I have had to upgrade to CS6, I have a big problem. In CS3 When I went Print-> Photoshop Manages Colors to choose an ICC color profile, there would be a companion Output box, where I could drag the Transfer slider down to brighten the image. I can't find Output in CS6! Since choosing Photoshop Manages Colors turns off the printer's color etc controls,

I have a problem. I am trying to print an image that is 108" x 94" on 36" self adhesive vinyl. This should be easy right? After all it's just three 36" panels 94" long. ... tell that to x 5! I click the print icon, go into layout and from that point onward I am more spectator than print manager.
Everything I do to try to get the image tiled with 3 x tiles and 0 y tiles is futile. The scale of the image keeps changing, why isn't the scale 100%? I preview the print and the number of tiles keeps changing almost with every effort to print three tiles, at times it looks as if x5 wants to print the image in 8 1/2 x 11 tiles!
Do I need a Phd in computer programming to be able to perform this task which seems to on par with creating the universe in 6 days?

I have designed a cd cover that needs to go off to print on Monday. Everything looks fine on screen in Illustrator cs5 and when i print from illustrator it looks fine. When i save it to pdf it still looks fine on screen but when i print it the colours are so dark the images are unrecognisable. The company im printing to want the pdf preset as Press Quality, it looks awful but i have tried all the presets and they all look as bad. Everything is in CYMK. I really cant understand what is going on! I have two deskjet printers and they both look terrible (one slightly worse though).

Is there a way to print the filename of an image during printing? In other words, I want the filename of the image printed on every image when I select a range of images to print.

I cannot print photogrpaic images with my desktop MAC (OS X10.8.4) from Photoshop Elements 9.0 to my new Epson XP-800 printer. Printing is not a problem with Word text or images from iPhoto- it is only with PSE that there is a problem. The problem persists even if I try using a cabled connection rather than WiFi. I have ensured latest software from Epson has been downloaded. This problem did not occur when using the same system with the previous printer (Epson Photo Stylus 1290).
Any workaround of moving the edited PSE image back to iPhoto & printing from there (which admittedly does work but shouldn't be necessary).
