I'm trying to print drawings made in autocad that were modified in illustrator, when I go to print the file ends up stoping halfway through the page. This is infrequent, some times files work and sometimes they don't, aswell often times when files don't print correctly, the title blog will appear at the end of the page.

Basically we have a number of different procedures that need to be written in each drawing. Usually we type it out every time which is a pain or copy paste. Is there any way to have 5 or so pre made text blocks to pick which to insert onto different types of drawings but that can be global used across a few systems? We have a small group of workers all on the vault server.

We have a small group of workers all on the vault server. Basically I just want to be able to have a finished drawing. Click something that will open a list of my pre made text blocks, and insert one into the drawing that I can scale etc. We use Inventor 2011.
When I am printing from AutoCAD LT 2012, I randomly get this error message every 10 to 15 drawings that I print. Considering that I print 10-15 drawings at one time, I am getting a fatal error every time I print a set. Why? I don't get this error when printing in AutoCAD 2011LT or 2012 Full Version.

They also do not show correctly if I choose them as the desktop background accuratly (afterexporting it as a jpg file).The photo is colorful but my desktop is not!I've exported a number of files and then printed them through windows. Some print fine and some don't.

I earned a free 8 by 8 photobook with shutterfly. I tried making one on their website but I could not find any that I liked. I would like to professionally print my photobook I already made with adobe photoshop 7. I need step by step instructions how to put my photobook made with adobe onto shutterfly. I would also like to know some websites that will print pre-made adobe photoshop books for cheap in case shutterfly does not work.

View 7 Replies View RelatedIs there a way (either thru Inventor or Vault) of print ALL idw (drawings) files related to an iam (assembly)?
Inventor (and Vault) are capable of creating and managing a BOM of the iam files and would think that it would be reltivly easy to query this bom and "find" all the associated idw files and batch print them. Possibly with the option to select the "levels" to dril down to (All, Top Level, Sub Assemblies within the iam, etc, etc)
Is is possible to "que" a bunch of drawings to be plotted? I would like to be able to open a drawing and plot it, then while it's plotting, open another drawing and plot it, then another and so on and so on. However, I get an error message stating that another plot is in process and only one plot or publish process can be active at one time. Thus, I'm forced to wait for the last one to complete before sending the next one to the plotter.
View 4 Replies View RelatedAs part of a study project, I have to describe the steps of assembly of a product (a car within a factory) with a series of drawings.
I've drawn them in the model tab, having each step of the assembly in a separate "tile".
My problem is that when I want to print these drawings in a pdf file, it takes me ages because I have to select and print each drawing separately (plot, select window, print for 40 drawings is very long).
How to be able to print these in a more "automated" process ? I've tried to put them in "layout" but I cannot manage to adjust the drawing to the print zone, on the page (like what you would do when selecting the window before printing with the "adjust to the page" option).
The scaling is not a big deal at this step, as long as all drawings have the same scale (all tiles have the same dimensions).
I am fairly new to AutoCAD. I have a AutoCAD drawing file containing 8 drawings on it. What I would like to do is to print each drawing to a single PDF pages.

View 6 Replies View RelatedIs 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 recently joined a firm that has been working drawings up in meters in model space
The issue comes that when i go to input a scale at the viewport stage the drawing is tiny. Ive always worked in mm and thus never had this issue when using the standard 'z' enter 's' enter 1/##xp' to achieve the desired scale
i would like to understand how i can still work these drawings without scaling everything up in model space at a factor of 1000, which is the only way i can think of getting round this issue.
I don't remember ever using this checkbox on the Publish dialog box but today i want to and i can't figure out how to make it work. The help file ~seems~ to say that if i select this, the contents of all open documents (layouts and/or model space) are automatically loaded.... but they don't.
I know i can pick the Add Sheets button and manually select all the drawings i have open but doesn't that defeat the purpose of this checkbox?
When we print from a read-only drawing file that is stored on our local drawing fileserver (a PC on our network that is used to store all finished drawing files) it can take several minutes to open the Plot screen and several more minutes to actually print the drawing. It doesn't matter which printer we use to print to. Some of us have had this problem since AutoCAD 2010 but some have had it only since 2013. However if we use an old AutoCAD 2007 there is no printing delay problem so the server doesn't seem to be the source of the problem.
If we print from a drawing file on our own systems (which is actually working off a local network server unless the server is down then we are working off our own computers that will re-sync with the server when it comes back on line) then there is no delay. I have made some local files read-only to see if that was the trigger but no, they printed just fine.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI made a complex gradient showing all spectral colors in Photoshop. Now I would like to have exactly this gradient in my Illustrator's gradient-palette. Is this possible somehow? At least it is not possible to load the Photoshop-.grd-file into Illustrator.
Of course I know that I can insert the Photoshop-gradient as a picture into any Illustrator document and that is exactly what I intended to do and actually do with it right now. But I also want to use it in conjunction with Illustrators diagram tool, which does not allow to fill the space below a graph with a picture, but which allows to fill this space with Illustrators own gradients. Thus it would be great if there was a way to transfer the Photoshop gradient to Illustrator and not having to start from scratch there again.
Meanwhile I have to copy the graph out of the diagram, putting it on a dedicated layer and there make a clipping mask together with the afore inserted Photoshop-pixel-gradient. This is not very elegant, when you must do this several times...

I inherited an AI file that I need to work with. The main project is text and I can't (or don't know how) to identify the existing font.
So my question is, is it possible that the file creator made up the font in Illustrator? I tried the find font tool, and also when I try to import the file into photoshop it opens as a flattened image. How would I know if they did in fact create the font?
I have a group of 3D objects using the revolve command (object on the left). Now I want to put the object on it's side. i.e. rotate it by 90 degrees exactly as it is but the 3D revolve is distorting it to look like the object on the right. How do I prevent this?

I have a simple, clean logo with a couple of compound paths (letters like the 'e', 'A'). There are no clipping paths. Everything works great in that file if I save it, re-open and edit it, etc.
If I "Place" or drag this file into a brand new, blank file, and then "Embed" the artwork, it creates 2 clipping masks the size of the artboard. More importantly, it messes up the compound paths so that I have to select them and use the 'Unite' shape mode to get it to function properly. I can see this by trying to add a stroke to the letters.. the stroke is broken until I use the Unite button. Even undoing the compound path and redoing it doesn't work. In the attached image, you can see how a corner is broken , as well as how neither 'inside' nor 'outside' is available for the embedded version.
I am having an issue placing my Ai file, saved multiple ways, in InDesign without losing quality? Maybe save settings or a step-by-step? I work between Ps, Ai, Id often but just started using Ai to create my own graphics.
