topic Plotting a sheet with a polygonal viewport in AutoCAD Forum https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-forum/plotting-a-sheet-with-a-polygonal-viewport/m-p/8726890#M142889 <P>We have seen repeated problems with plotting sheets that have polygonal viewports. The most recent will create a file size of 10 mb when using a bluebeam driver. This makes the entire PDF enormous when trying to plot a large set. So, we switched to using the dwg to PDF.pc3 and the file size was much smaller and what we expected, but when we printed a hard copy from the PDF it took the sheets with the polygonal viewports up to 2 minutes each to print. Are others experiencing this? If so, have you found a work around? We are using Civil 3d 2018.</P> Fri, 12 Apr 2019 16:03:51 GMT JoeKidd33 2019-04-12T16:03:51Z Plotting a sheet with a polygonal viewport https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-forum/plotting-a-sheet-with-a-polygonal-viewport/m-p/8726890#M142889 <P>We have seen repeated problems with plotting sheets that have polygonal viewports.
