OK. I created a drawing in Map 3D 2007 with four SID files in the background. The sheet size is 36 x 90. It took a while to plot, but it came out after a while. I recently switched to Civil 3D 2012, and I can't get the images to plot out. I tried changing RASTERTHRESHOLD and RASTERPERCENT, but that did not work. I also changed the raster and OLE quality in the printer preferences. Anyone have a clue as to why they won't plot?

I am using a PC3. I don't know anything about a mr sid plugin, but would I even be able to see these files if I did not have it?
looks like it was for 2011 and below 😉 sorry.
have you installed the latest service pack?
try using your system printer they usally handle images better than a pc3.
I have all the latest service packs. I don't think my system printer can plot out a 36 x 90 bed-sheet drawing. It worked with MAP 3D 2007, why won't it now?
UPDATE......
I chopped the drawing up into 4 - 24x36 sheets, and it plots fine. I still don't understand why. Maybe Memory? But why did ir plot in 2007?
