Plotting problem

Anonymous — Fri, 25 Oct 2019 19:13:17 GMT

So when Iam setting the page setup manager and choose for example a paper size like A3or A1, it doesnt put on the layer any paper size, the whole layer has a white background.I can put a viewport there but i just plot a blank page because i cant see where is my paper.Photo attached.Can anybody help with that?Thank you!

Hi,

>> layer any paper size,

Hard to identify on your screenshot, but A1 might be much too small or much too large, so you can't see the very small area on your screen or A1 is much larger than your current display or your layout area is outside the display ... many possibilities.

To know what you have is not possible from the screenshot, therefor we would need to load the file and run the PAGESETUP on our side.

In Civil 3D if i enter to the layot it appears as it is suppoused to be,as on the attached screenshoot.Appear a page which i can set a paper size and others in page setup manager. In Autocad in the layer there is not any paper/page just the white background indifferent the paper size i am setting.I cant zoom out. I can see my drawings if i make a viewport but that is all.Civil 3DAutocad

I reinstalled the windows system today and the Autocad and civil 3D as well, before that i did not have this problem.It is only with the Autocad.I think reinstalling again, maybe an older version might solve the problem.

Hi,

>> I think reinstalling again,

No, please upload the dwg-file so we can see what you really have.

And even if that is dependend on user settings, reinstallation would not help ... you need to reset settings to default (>>>details<<<).

I attached the DWG but the problem isnt with this particular file, every dwg I open in Autocad do the same.If i open them in civil 3D there are no problems with them, the layer page is appearing nicely.Same if I send them to some colleagues, in their Autocad they are working so I guess the problem is with my Autocad application.

Are you sure? That is what I see if I'm zooming out (paper space) ...

Yes I am sure.I couldnt do anything but I did the reset to default now and appears the same what is on the screenshot which you sent. It is ok now, problem solved! Thank you!
