AutoCAD 2016 more buggy?

AutoCAD 2016 more buggy?

Anonymous
No aplicable

It seems to be that AutoCAD 2016 seems to be more buggy and finicky.

 

When I'm plotting to 11x17, The page layout is shifted approximately half of an inch to the top right.

 

Also when I batch plot sometimes, the system is taking an extreme long time to process that simple request.

 

These issues are not present in 2015.  I switch back to 2015, if I encounter these issues, and 2015 produces these PDFs perfectly fine (exact same dwg file).

Plotting issue you posted has a lot to do with your margins settings based on the driver being used, not much else. Can you elaborate more?

For the PUBLISH issue: define "simple request": that means nothing to us outside of your office. Also, what are you PUBLISHing to (device or driver)? and what pagesetup?

Do you have all the 2016 patches/updates installed?

@Anonymous, I strongly suggest you to join the Beta program for the next AutoCAD Mac version, see if the issues still there. If yes, you can post more details in the Beta forum or log a bug to us directly.

 

More info about the Beta program:

Hi Pendean,

 

Thanks for the response.

 

Can you elaborate where in autocad I can these "margin driver" settings?

 

I would like to see how the 2015 is setup and compare it with 2016.

 

simple request is simply, having a set of drawings (2 to 5 on average) in the batch publish window to output in PDF format.  This sometimes happens, there's no noticeable pattern to it, and it seems to be intermittent.

 

The 2016 sometimes halts for long period of times just switching from another desktop app and back to AutoCAD.  Again, this issue wasn't apparent in 2015.  The halt, as in "the hourglass" spinning color circle runs for a good whole minute or longer, before AutoCAD can respond again.

 

And this halting is not contingent on only my system, another co-worker has had it happen to her as well.

 

My 2016 is up-to-date.

 

Let me know if you need any other further information pendean.

 

Thanks.

Every printer has a no-print area around the edge of the sheet: some are wider than others. This no-print area is called the margin. Look at any book you've every read in your life, that's where you probably add notes in those margins.

PDF is the same way: there is an no-print area all around the edge of the 'sheet'. PDF margins can be wider that laser printer margins for example. So if your drawing, at a set scale, seems to get cut off or shifted it's probably because it's hanging over that no-print margin.

Your post seems to indicate that's your problem: you are not allowing for this wider margin.

As for long batch plotting, that might be a setting: I see you've not tried to hare screenshots of your setting and options for plot and publish so it's hard to help you with much. or show us a DWG file or two, let's test it out ourselves.

Just a small addition: in AutoCAD for Mac user can drive margins by creating Custom paper sizes with proffered non printing areas.
