Ploting from Autocad

dancalgary — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 14:38:24 GMT

Hello,

I copy - paste the code used for plotting from the

AutoCAD .NET Developer's Guide - Plot from model space - works using as a printer:

acPlSetVdr.SetPlotConfigurationName(acPlSet, "DWF6 ePlot.pc3","ANSI_A_(8.50_x_11.00_Inches)")

but when I change the line with:

acPlSetVdr.SetPlotConfigurationName(acPlSet,"Oce TDS320", "Oce D+ 24x36 in")

it is not working. I have an error at this line.

the Plotter I have is on the network

the name is correct - as shown the Paper name is correct.

see the snapshot of the control panel.

What I am doing wrong here?

Thanks

The code sound correct, but maybe the name is different (from AutoCAD perspective)

Can you quick try list and double check the names? See the code at http://adndevblog.typepad.com/autocad/2012/05/how-to-list-the-canonical-media-names-of-a-ploter.html

Try replacing the spaces in the paper size name, with underscores. That worked for me.

Have you created a pc3 file called "Oce TDS320.pc3"? It looks as if you are trying to print to a windows printer and the setplotconfigurationname wants the name of a pc3 (plot config) file.
