Hi!
Hope somebody can helpme with this. I just go updated to Mavericks and Autocad 2014, but I have a problem, I can't plot any layouts!
When I hit plot the print window opens, then i can choose printer and plot styles very well. But, when I choose print just doesn't work 😞 The window dissappear and nothing happens.
It's the same if I choose Open PDF in preview or save to PDF, just doesn't work.
Please help!
Many thank's!

Hi Egidio,
Once again: do you have printer installed on your Mac? (System Preferences -> Print&Scan pane)
Which page format do you select when you edit page setup? If you select predefined page format (A4, Letter, B5, etc.) which page size you see when you select "Print layout"? What do you mean by "custom"?
Could you provide screenshots of Page Setup and Print dialogs?
Did you give your page setup some name (e.g. do you create new page setup in Page setup dialog with "+" button, or just edit the existing one)?

hi Maxim
of course i have installed printers on my mac (Hp plotter device and Canon Laser device) and
attached two screenshot to explain:
in the first one i set page setup settings (i didn't find any way to save these setting with a name)
in the second one previous setting are missing
I tried to save print settings by Page Setup Manager by clicking on (+) and give a new name, but i didn't find a way to recall it in my "Page Setup" or "Print Layout"
thank you

Hi,

thanks

Hi, OK
the following are the steps of workflow
- I create a new Layout
- I am now in "Paper Space"
- Click on "Edit Page Setup"
- i choose printer/plotter
- on paper size i select "manage custom size" to custom my page size and give it a name
-i set others parameters and click OK
- i am always in "Paper Space"
- then i click on Print Layout and here i didn't find previous settings
- OK! now i click in Edit Page Setup (i am always in the "Print Layout" window)
- Edit Page Setup menu Appear and this time with a new option (see below)
-now i can set again but anyway it seem there is something that doesn't work fine in autocad for mac..
thanks

Hi Egidio,
After analyzing all thread again I came to the conclusion that the case of the issues you have (PMP error report, inconsistencies in the Page Setup settings you create and the information in Print dialog) is in Custom paper sizes you have on your Mac. For some reason AutoCAD can not read them correctly, thus it can not find correct paper size when printing (PMP error) or when it opens Print dialog.
Maybe I'm wrong, but in your place I'd check this.
You can try to delete all Custom paper sizes you have on your Mac and create them again.
Hope you can resolve issues with printing.

Hi, i have a problem with the Plot Style Table.
I have several Plot Styles (CTB) in my computer, buy Autocad 2014 doesn't recognize them.
As you can see in the pictures, the Plot Style Table has 5 opciones (STB), but i want to use the CTB i already pre configued.
How can i do to fix this??
Tks
