Viewbase printing with 2017 making HUGE PDF files, using same settings as 2016

Viewbase printing with 2017 making HUGE PDF files, using same settings as 2016

Anonymous

I finally updated to ACAD 2017 and migrated all my settings from 2016. 

 

We do drawings using the VIEWBASE command, which gives us a nice, crisp drawing that has visible materials and is easily understood by our clients (non-engineers/drafters). 

 

The problem is that when plotting (or publishing) to PDF in 2017, the sheets take easily up to 5 minutes each, and the PDF files are 10x the size they would be had they been made with 2016, and are not user friendly (very laggy to the point of being unusable, scrolling is a nightmare and the images in the PDF are constantly "refreshing" and loading).

 

I used 2016 to publish the same .dwg, and there were no issues at all. 

 

PDF options were set to highest quality in both 2016 and 2017 (4800 dpi for both vector and raster), and like I said, never any issues with plot time or PDF quality in 2016.

 

Is there some other new setting I can adjust? 

 

As of now, AutoCAD 2017 is practically unusable for me.

 

Thank you!

Hi,

 

>> migrated all my settings from 2016

Reset your profile, migrating is not always a good choice.

 

Upload a drawing + a PDF you have got from 2016 and a PDF your AutoCAD 2017 had created.

That gives us the possibility to look into details.

 

If you can't share your data, then try the same again with a new dummy-drawing, this might also be interesting for you to see if that depends on some specific drawings or you do have the same issue with a new drawing (based on an original AutoCAD template).

Hi @Anonymous,

 

Can you attach some samples so I can take a look?

 

Did a reset improve the plot time to PDF on your Viewbase objects?
