ACAD2023 crashes when export to pdf

GD.ON — Fri, 06 May 2022 10:48:41 GMT

As in the title - my ACAD2023 crashes when trying to export to pdf. It usually does it when I export same file 2 or 3 times in the row (if some mistake spotted...).

Any ideas how this can be solved?

No issues here.

use PLOT or PUBLISH instead of "export" and try each of the 5-core PDF drivers provided by 2023 instead, see if that helps.

Thanks for the answer. PLOT force me to change name as it always adds the layout name; PUBLISH force me to choose path every time, that's why I'd like to stick to EXPORT as its most efficient way for me...
Any ideas how to get it fixed?

@GD.ON I asked you to test, not change your workflow. Test, to identify the source of the problem. try again.
We need to find out why your 2023 is crashing when it does not for anyone else.

Also use ABOUT command to ensure you have the 2023.0.1 update: if not get it.

FWIW PAGESETUP command predefines your PLOT parameters, and others, it can also be saved and called in a template with PSETUPIN command.

Your method is random. Easy. But it means you never fully pick the options, also means you don't get a lot of choice in the output.

Thanks and sorry for my ignorance🙄.

It seems I haven't got the 2023.0.1 fix and I asked IT to get it installed.

PLOT/PUBLISH works fine, but let's see what will the fix do. I'll get back once it will be done!

Thank you

HI,

IT update hasn't resolve any issues. Here's an error details:

Here the PLOT popup:

and PUBLISH...

PUBLISH? That still looks like "export" to me, a different command.

Plus you are using two different PDF drivers: wondering what else you might be missing on screen

Hi,

thanks for pointing that out. I will test it and see what will happen. I thought the EXPORT uses same settings form Page Setup Manager as PLOT. Is there any way I can preset it same way by default?

Here's correct PUBLISH screenshot:
