DWG to PDF conversion most of drawing invisible.

Anonymous

 I am trying to convert my autocad 2015 dwg file to pdf.  I have followed my class's instructions but my file is not converting.  

 

We are supposed to use plotting to convert the file to adove pdf.  I have a working photoshop app and acrobat on my computer but adobe pdf is not showing up in my dropdown plotting menu in autocad. 

 

Then I tried to convert the file using autocad pdf and by trying to export to pdf.  But in either case, my full drawing is not showing up.  I am including my autocad file and the two pdf files.  

 

It's strange because I don't know why only this portion is showing up and why it is not clean.  My autocad file is complete with the lineweight I want to see in my pdf file.  

 

I would appreciate any help!  

Thank you!

All fine with plotting/exporting.

 

The Poblem is: You can not see a WHITE board on the WHITE ground 😉

 

Select all and set color to BYLAYER, RED or something like that, but not to 255,255,255

Printing (there is no "conversion to PDF") is difficult to explain in text.

First off, I opened your drawing and ran the command PREVIEW in model space and each layout and there is NO printer assigned to any of those layouts.

Depending on what version of AutoCAD this is, you may have a printer named "DWG to PDF.pc3" or "AutoCAD PDF....."

Run the PAGESETUP command to "SET UP" the page for printing. Select one of the above named printers and then select the page size and if you are printing from a layout, select LAYOUT under "What to Plot". Adjust any other settings you see fit, then exit the PAGESETUP command.

Now run the PREVIEW command.

Voila, you should see what you print (PDF) will look like. Adjust the settings as needed.

See your other post: your content is on a layer that never prints.
