Error while plotting PDF

[tuomas.takkinen]

Hi all,

I'm facing randomly problem while plotting dwg -files to pdf. For example I have four dwg-files, and one of them gives to me following error message:

Job: - Error(s) Did Not Plot Job ID: 1 Sheet set name: Date and time started: 9.11.2011 12:28:13 Date and time completed: 9.11.2011 12:28:13 UserID: tuomas.takkinen Profile ID: Total sheets: 0 Sheets plotted: 0 Number of errors: 0 Number of warnings: 0 ERROR: There were no plottable sheets in the current operation.

This is not very common problem, I have approx only five of dwgs which I cannot plot to pdf because of this. Is there any solution to this problem? Thanks in advance

Did you find a solution?

Hi,

Are you still facing this problem at work?

Did you try to plot or exportpdf for the problematic drawing alone?  Have you checked whether the problematic drawing has a plottable sheet or not?

If you still have such problem, can you please send me the drawings for a closer look?

Nope, but I'm facing this problem very randomly, but today I found .dwg I which I cannot plot. It has the same error message. Please find the enclosed attachemnt

Hi,

I found the attached drawing has “Layout not initialized” for model space and paper space in Public dialog if you try PUBLISH command. That's why it gives an error about "There were no plottable sheets in the current operation."

The workaround is to invoke plot dialog once and close it. Then you should be able to do the export operation without errors.

Works for me with file that i cant export directly from the export file in the main menu!

Thank you for the solution.

What do you mean by invoking the plot dialog, what setting do you change once you have this window open?

[maratovich]

Your Layouts are not initialized.

This means that Layouts have never been opened or printed.

Do you get layouts automatically?

Ask the person who created the automation why there is no initialization.

Hola a todos 

Presentaba el mismo problema y voy  a compartirles como pude solucionar.

El error se debe al tamaño de pixeles que tiene la imagen que estas usando, debes bajarle los pixeles, para eso hacer lo siguiente:

>Copia y pega la imagen en PAINT, una vez pegues la imagen va aparecer ya seleccionada o sino debes seleccionarla por completo, después en el icono llamado CAMBIAR DE TAMAÑO Y SESGAR vas a oprimirlo y una vez se abra aparecerá en porcentaje, debes cambiarlo a PIXELES y en lo personal siempre los bajo a 2160 que es 4K, solo basta con modificar el tamaño horizontal y el vertical también se ajustara automáticamente, una vez hagas esto COPIAS la imagen con CTRL+C, vas al AutoCAD y le das CTRL+V para pegar, una vez la pegues debe aparecer un cuadro indicando que se esta pegando en OLE TEXT SIZE, sino te aparece la eliminas y vuelves a pegarla, ahí debe aparecerte el cuadro indicando lo que acabo de mencionar, le das OK y listo ya puedes hacer uso de la imagen sin problema.

Espero haber podido ayudarles, éxitos en sus vidas.
