When I print in revit - at scale - 100% Zoom, I check it with an architecture scale and its off. For example, 25' - 0" in the revit file measured with a scale on paper is 23 ' 10". etc... Is it a revit issue, or a printer driver issue?

I have created a couple text styles which are identical other than the fact that one has pointers using filled arrows whilst the other has filled dots. However when exported to dwfx, the arrows appear whereas the dots are absent!

I’m having an issue with Revit printing blank pages in a set.
I’m selecting the pages in print range option, and several of the pages are just coming out blank. I have to select each page that did not print and print it separately. This is printing directly to my Epson WF-750 on 12”x18” paper at 50% scale.
When I make a PDF, all the pages seem to appear. Is this a printer issue, or a Revit issue. Wait, let me guess, it can’t be a Revit issue it’s got to be a printer issue.

We have a fairly large project set to print tomorrow. However, one of our sheets causes a crash every time we try to print it. Actually, it's not sheet specific. Anytime we try to print a certain portion of of the building on any sheet, it crashes the project. We have two separate plan views of the same area created on separate sheets and each one causes the project to crash.
I've audited the filed, recreated the views and re-placed them on sheets, but to no avail. Same result. On a similar topic, there were some corrupt elements (doors) in the file that caused the project to crash anytime I tried to delete them or change the swing.

Im trying to print A0 sheets and was just wondering if its possible to change the paper size to 594 x 1682. Pretty much to have 2 A1 sheets in portrait on top of each other.

My plans are printing fine, but elevations and any 3d view print with the majority of the drawing missing. I'm guessing it has to do with the raster images used on walls for textures, but besides that I'm stumped. I'm trying to print in realistic view, because of the material textures that need to show up.
I've turned on sun lighting, as well as tried various PDF printers, but no change. When I go to the print preview it appears to preview incorrectly. The file is pretty small as the project is just a modest house. Pretty much all the settings are 'right out of the box'.
When I shift back to just 'Hidden line' mode and look at it in print preview it seems to print the drawing fine, but then the titleblock and firm logo dissapear. The actual PDF when printed is fine.
I'm working on revit 2013, in WIndows 7 inside parllels on a macbook pro.

What I’m simply looking for is to print the a sketch in A4 page with a scale of 1/100.
Also, I couldn’t figure out how the print preview works! Sounds to be quite different form what we have in the AutoCAD!

I am using the student version of Revit and have desparately been trying to create a document that would print to scale. I use PDF creator to convert Revit to pdf, but it always comes messed up by an inch or so...insted of 4.6, it prints 4.75 (or the other way around). I tried formating my title block in many different ways, including deleting the outer lines. Nothing works. There is no Arch D format in the family of titleblocks. I am a complete beginner, just started using Revit a couple months ago, with no knowledge of CAD or anything similar. When I look at the PDF creator page of my doc, it shows that the doc has been properly sized, but when the print place prints it out, it is off by 1" or so.
How do I format my sheet so it prints to scale in format 24" X36"?

Can you print a model file to scale without setting up a view with a scale? Like in Autocad, you could print the model space to a certain scale within the page setup manager. Does revit have anything like that? Or do I have to set up a sheet view prior to printing anything?
running revit architecture 2011.

I just recently noticed that when I print documents from Revit Architecture, they are printing smaller than the scale size they are set to. I verified with a couple of different scale settings against a good old fashioned scale ruler. It seems to be consistently incorrect.

Actual printing size on the screen,
I’m wondering if there is a tool on the Revit that enables displaying the actual printing size on the screen. This feature is quite useful as we can see exactly how the drawing will precisely looks like on the paper.
For example, if I need to print with a scale of 1:200, then is there a tool that displays the actual size on the screen. Other software, like ArcGIS, has this feature.

I have been trying to print a Keynote Legend directly to a network printer specifically because I wish to reference the legend whilst working at another PC to edit some specification notes which refer to the project I am working on. However, whilst the process (in Revit) seems straight forward "R"> Print> Print> Print Dialog>OK, having set the print properties etc, when I go to 'Print Range'> Selected Views/Sheets> Select> View/Sheet Set Dialog> <in-session> the two other Legends are listed but not the Keynote Legend! See below, whilst the 'Keynote Legend Can be clearly seen in the Project Browser and is the open view.

- 'after print' in the middle is a black&white pdf print by adobe pdf. you can see there is the last number missing.
- 'after print-random number missing' on the right is a coloured pdf print also by adobe pdf. several numbers are missing and it happened randomly.

We are looking for an easy straightforward way to print / export an entire set of sheets to pdf.The sheets have different papersizes and we want them to be named with the sheet number + name, and possible a prefix by choice.We have Adobe Acrobat X installed as pdf printer.So far we managed to print an entire set to pdf with these somewhat annoying issues:
1. The naming adds the word "sheet" between the chosen prefix and number-name.can we get rid of this?
2. The prints seem only to follow the actual Revit Print-setup, on papersizes.Which means that we need to have print-sessions on every paper size used in a project.Strange that in Revit the paper print-setup, doesnt follow the sheet definitions.(?)Is there a way within Revit to solve this to a more automated workflow?Or do we have to implement third party plugiins / solutions?

I have had numerous problems trying to print from 2014 using the setting "Visible portion of current window". This feature was never that good, anyway, but now it seems to be WAY worse. I'm spending 5-10 minutes to just send something to the printer that should only take 5 seconds.
See the attached images of what I see on screen, the print dialog boxes and then what I actually get. The "Center" option doesn't function properly and now I must manually adjust the margins to print what I see on the screen.

I am teachnig a class on Revit and I see a new check box in the setup dialog box for printing.I did go to help file and this is what it says: "Region edges mask coincident lines. Select this option if you want the edges of masking regions and filled regions to cover lines with which they coincide. (This option is available only if the Vector Processing option is enabled.)"

I have Photoshop CS4. I suddenly cannot print any files. I get an error screen that says I need to install a printer. I can print from other programs, just not Photoshop.

With LR4, JPEG files can be processed from library module to develop module, and finally to print module without involving photoshop. This seems to be a very efficient, continuous workflow.
But I was confused about it when starting with raw files (e.g., NEF).. NEF files can be processed from library module to delopment module. Then, there would be next three options to proceed: a) export and save as JPEG, b) edit in Adobe photoshop CS5 for further improvement, or c) process in print module to print. My question is about the last c) option. When NEF files undergo from library module > develop module > print module, the image on the screen is still in "edited" NEF file (or "unsaved print" which is displaced on the top of the screen image). When printed, the picture was printed from "unsaved print" which its format is not defined. I wonder this is the correct procedure for processing and printing from NEF file without involving photoshop.

I need to submit files in JPEG for printing. I started with a 105 MB TIFF file in PS and when I save as JPEG on quality 12 I end up with a 5 MB JPEG. Does this sound right - I am wanting an A3 print.

I am in the process of creating a large( 10 feet by 3 feet) sign for a hockey arena. I am having trouble saving it as an eps file, which is what the printer has requested, without distorting or completely changing the effects? I am using photoshop cs5 on Mac os 10.6.8.

All of a sudden, my Epson R2400 stopped printing photoshop CS5 files. It prints files from other programs (apperture, mail, web) just fine. The cartridge goes back and forth and the paper advances, but no ink is applied.

file type: channeled .eps file created in photoshop (my 'goto' for screenprinting seps)
system: windows 7, coreldraw x6
problem: once imported into CorelDraw, in the print dialog the pre flight will analyze the document and it takes forever; if it does not crash, once completed every other function takes forever to edit (Ex: to deselect a spot color will take 15-20 seconds to implement)- then when printing, errors occur.
1) previous versions of Coreldraw does not have this problem
2) this happens with all printers, even pdf print driver.
3) workaround that works: save the channeled eps file as a Photoshop file.

I am currently using a laser printer that is reliant on the thickness of lines and objects in my AutoCAD file. I made a plotter tool file, laser.ctb, that is meant to control the default thickness of drawn lines. How do I know whether the .ctb file is being used by the printing interface?

DWG to PDF is not printing certain files correctly. It appears to only happen with the dots hatch pattern and the Dots linetype with a 0.0003" lineweight in the CTB file. The lines with the issue have color and pline width (zero). Print preview show, plotting to a printer, and using adobe show the lineweight correctly but using DWG to PDF does not.

I feel sure some of my settings must be incorrect. I have never had trouble until now. PSE 10 keeps pausing, screen dims and error message " not responding " appears. Also, trouble printing anything that is an Adobe document. All of this started happening at once, so I assume they are connected. make sure my drivers, settings, etc... are correct?
