New page set up crashes AutoCAD for Mac 2015

Anonymous — Tue, 18 Jul 2017 16:00:17 GMT

Anytime, I try to change the page set up from the regular 8.5x11 to any other pages from the list autoCAD keeps crashing. I would like to print on ledger or larger sheet. Please help!

Make sure you choose a printer first and make sure that printer exists (or is built-into AutoCAD). Then choose the page size.

A printer is selected but the problem persists.

Have you tried:

Restart AutoCAD If that doesn't solve it.
Reboot your computer. If that doesn't solve it,
Reinstall AutoCAD. If that doesn't solve it, it might be time to get a new printer.

Hi @Anonymous,

I'm just checking in to see if you need more help with this. Did the last suggestion that @dbroad provided work for you?

If not, we may be able to help more if you tell us a bit about your setup:
Which version of AutoCAD Architecture (2018, 2017, etc.)?
Which operating system (Windows 7, 10, etc.)?
Which printer are you having trouble with?
Can you switch the page size for the default AutoCAD PDF (General Documentation) and plot to PDF without crashing?

If so, please click Accept as Solution on the posts that helped you so others in the community can find them easily.

Hi, The solution provided did not help. My AutoCad crashes if I select any paper size other than US Letter, unless I manually set up the page size. Even I do set up the page size manually the first time it crashes but once its part of the custom sizes I can select it.

I am using AutoCad 2015 version on Mac OS Sierra.

Thanks!

Hi @Anonymous,

This is the AutoCAD Architecture forum, and we have a separate dedicated forum for AutoCAD for Mac. I'll go ahead and move your post over to that board where you'll get more relevant help.

It looks like this might be an issue that's resolved by updates for AutoCAD for Mac 2016 and 2017. Take a look at the following links which might help:

Hi @Anonymous,

Which printer do you have installed on your Mac? I like to use a large format printer (HP Pagewide is my current choice). With this driver I am able to create different papersizes without issue. I no longer have 2015 installed but I don't recall having this problem on Sierra with this driver installed as the "default" printer.

This might be worth a try.
