DWG file to DWF Issue

[ritztran]

Hello experts,

I'm trying to export a DWG to DWF. I've been doing this for a while, but this is the first I have this issue and don't know what causes it. Please see the attached for clarification. Thanks in advance.

Hi,

If you totally close both software and restart it again, any changes?

[ritztran]

I thought it was because of the appilcations and computer, so I did restart them all and it's still an issue. I think it might be something from the overall plan because the overall plan is an xref DWF.

I assume you also tried plotting using: DWF6 ePlot.pc3

@ritztran Forgive me, but what are we supposed to infer from your screenshot? Let's rule out assumptions from everyone else other than you.

Hi, thanks for looking at this.

I tried to exported a DWF from AutoCAD Architecture 2022 in 30x42 paper. I usually have no issue with the exporting, but this time, the DWF is only highlighted a portion on the bottom right corner of the paper and shaded most of the sheet. The screenshot describes the issue.

@ritztran When you get a chance, instead of "export" use PLOT command, deliberately select the settings you need (I circled these for you in the image below) and see if your issue goes away

Thank you. I did figure out the solution by using plot instead of export. Thanks for your time. However, do you know why it happens that way when I use "Export".

If you want to use EXPORT exclusively it is best to make an effort to preset the desired settings using PAGESETUP command first (which coincidently loots a lot like PLOT command's pop-up).
