AutoCAD 2010

[#1]

Last week we started having an issue with one of the AutoCAD 2010 installs, When she would go to plot (to any plotter or PDF) the plot process would just hang up and continue to show (in the lower right corner) that it was working, sometimes it would actually print the page but it wouldn't format it right, This morning a second install started doing it too. I chacked and ran though the proceedure for ACAD.VLX virus and it still is doing this. After autocad sits there for a minute showing the plot process the addons reload. I have tried ploting with no addons loaded and I am still getting the same problem. Has anyone ran across this yet?

Machine software config:

Windows 7 64 bit

Autocad 2010 32bit loaded

Microvellum 6.7 addon

Hi Tom,

What happened before this issue started? Were you able to plot without issues before?

Were there any changes in your system, in a plotter setting, any driver update, ...?

Is AutoCAD updated?

Silly question: why is the 32-bit version of AutoCAD installed on a 64-bit OS? As far as I remember, 2010 was available in 64-bit.

Does AutoCAD hang when plotting any drawing or only some drawings in particular?

What happens if you create a new file from scratch and configure a page setup, does it still hang?

Did you migrate custom settings from an older version of the product?

Have you tried creating a new PC3 file for your printer?
I suggest that you do this and move any old plotting configuration files to another folder to test if the issue persists.

Also, turn off background plot in Options > Plot and Publish tab.

Let us know how it goes.
