Batch Plot text issue

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hi,

I have recently shifted AutoCAD 2015 to AutoCAD 2017. When I am batch plotting my project the text comes out very light which we can barely see. I have been trying to solve this issue but wasnt able to find the solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

My batch plot settings are:

Plot Style: FineMono.ctb

Shaded Viewport options: 

     Shade Plot: As Displayed

     Quality: Normal

Printer/Plotter: DWG To PDF.pc3

Plot Area: Window

Landscape

 

Thanks

"finemono" translates to "very light" for most of us, you are getting what you are asking for my friend.

Maybe use the "chunkymono" plot style table in your pagesetup and see if the problem goes away.

I used monochrome as well, but well even if i used finemono and when I plot each drawing individually if works fine. It only prints light when I used to batch plot it

You may find more help on this topic if you post it to another forum. AutoCAD Electrical doesn't use the same workflow for batch plotting (it has its own command for that, in fact), so many users on this forum would not know how to help you solve this issue.

Check that the font substitution is not being used.

 

This has been a re-occurring problem where non TTF fonts have been swapped out for TTF fonts which print in a lighter colour.
