My batch plot didn't plot, it says Errors, Did not Plot

Studio10ID — Sat, 04 Apr 2020 01:08:55 GMT

When I try to batch plot all of my pages, it doesn't work and it says that I have errors. When I click on that Plot and Publish Details notification it just says "Error Did Not Plot" and doesn't give me much more information. I was batch plotting this drawing just yesterday, I'm not sure what changed or what happened to make this not work. If anyone could fix this for me it would really help!!!

Which productversion? See dialog, command : ABOUT

Please try exactly the same, but while your files are at another folder on your local drive.

Hi, I have version 2018. I have attached my file link here. My plot works for just 1 page, but when I add multiple pages it says Error.

Actually when I typed "about" it says: Product Version: O.49.0.0 AutoCAD LT 2018.

Ever since I couldn't batch plot, which started happening yesterday, I now also get a Recover message when I open this file. I then lick "recover", and this message pops up:

It seems there are no errors, but the file somehow is corrupt and needs to be recovered. I have been diligent about Purging, Auditing, and keeping this drawing clean so I'm not sure why it needs to be recovered or why this started popping up. With this and my batch plot errors it's so frustrating!

You have a 2018.1.2 update to install, go get it now.

Other ways to fix a problematic file (starting with the XREFs in that file first) are explained here https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/AutoCAD-File-Corruption.html

Hi,

Type in the command "BACKGROUNDPLOT" and set it to "0" and then batch plot. Any errors now?
