Plotting PDF from Sheetset Manager ignore Plot Style Table

Hi all,

I am having issues plotting PDFs from the sheetset manager.

Plotting a PDF within AutoCAD works fine. Plotting the same drawing using the same PDF printer via the sheetset manager outputs a file which ignores the plot style set in the drawing.

Other users can print from the sheetset manager fine.

I assume some setting in my AutoCAD is set to override plot style table whilst printing in the sheetset manager. How do I fix this?

Just an update. Upon further reading I have tried the publish command within AutoCAD on various PDF presets and none follow plot style.

Printing (single drawing) works correctly, publish (multiple drawings) does not work correctly.

That pretty much only happens when in PUBLISH you chose the wrong pagesetup or change it.

Since you've not posted screenshots of your PLOT and your PUBLISH command pop-ups in both posts, I'm not sure what other help can be offered.

Here is how most use PUBLISH flawlessly if that helps:
1. Launch Publish from a drawing that is not part of the publish set, but is configured with all your possible sheets and plotter options.
2. Bring in all the drawings/tabs to be published.
3. Import the pagesetup desired from the template file (in your case, one set up for exacting desired output).
4. PUBLISH.

I don't know what to say Dean, I turned on my computer this morning and it just started working.

Perhaps it is your divine influence.

Here are my print settings. I have not changed any of the settings since yesterday.

We don't use or assign custom page setups, we just leave that at none.

Is this a standard workflow? Is there anything you think is amiss?
