PLOT PREVIEW CAUSING CRASH

[remmnate]

If someone has some time to take a look at this drawing and see if its just me or if this drawing is corrupted. Every time I go to plot and try a plot preview I get a fatal error and crash bang boom.....there I am at my desktop again. I only have 3d installed on one machine so I have no way to check it out. If someone wants to take a look and see if it will do the same thing in a different environment be my guest.

It's an 07 file but I tried to open it in 06 anyway. No go.

Have you tried the preview with it formatted for another plotter? or a just a new setup for the plotter you have? I saw a post somewhere about 07 not playing nice with migrated 06 plotter setups.

Crashes my install. I can preview it in a non c3d version of 07. But I
dont have the object enabler installed there.

But I did find something, take a look at the attached jpg, there's a
problem with one of your parcel lines and the endpoint elevations...

Nathan,

Thank you for your report and data. This defect has already been logged.

I am looking for a workaround, and if I am able to find something I will
post it here.

Type FULLPLOTPATH and set it to 0. That did it for us, hopefully that will work for you.

rhdins,

Thanks for the reply. This is a different issue that was already
recorded in our defect database. What you suggested does not work
around the issue that was originally posted.
