Freezing "Regenerating sheet"

[barbarapontomiranda]

Hello!
I'm having problems plotting some of my layouts to pdf.

I usually do -> Print -> Save as PDF and it works perfectly for some layouts but in some of them (in the same document), it just freezes the program showing the message "Regenerating sheet", and I have to shut it down, because I can't do anything more. And the size doesn't matter, since the heaviest one is plotting normally.  
I've already open the file in different PCs (mac and windows) and happens exactly the same. I've transferred the drawings to a new one too.
I just don't know how to solve this problem!
May anyone help me?

Welcome to Autodesk Forums!

Hi @Anonymous ,

The topic you are posting in is rather old.

Please specify your AutoCAD version and macOS version installed on your Mac.

If you have new macOS Monterey - have you installed the last Update to your AutoCAD?

AutoCAD for Mac 2022.2 Update

AutoCAD for Mac 2021.1 Update

Hi John,

I would greatly appreciate you looking at this file for the freezing while printing problem.

If there is anything I can do to clean up my files it would be super helpful to know.

Thank you VERY much in advance for your help and time looking at my file made in autocadLT

Best,

Hi @kevinlang ,

Please specify what Layout cases AutoCAD to freeze when printing?

I also noticed that there are a lot of missing External references in your drawing. Can you create an archive with ETRANSMIT command for a proper test?

You also didn't mention if you are saving to PDF or printing directly to a physical printer.

And finally, please specify the version of AutoCAD that you are using and macOS version installed on your Mac.
