unable to plot or pdf

Anonymous · ‎08-02-2016

After downloading auto cad LT 2016 for mac, I am unable to plot to the installed printer or save sheets to PDF. Nothing happens when I try to view in print preview either.

I have verified that all layers are set to plot.

If Print Preview shows nothing, then that is what to expect on PDF or paper.

Make sure your plot area and scale are correct. The plot preview is pretty much WYSIWYG

Post the DWG file (or a stripped down version of it) if possible.

I checked both page size and scale, and they are correct.

Hi,

Do you check them from Print window?
If yes, I'd recommend you to create Page Setup at first with Page Setup Manager, set it current and then use Print window to check plot preview.

Hi @Anonymous,

Welcome to the Autodesk Community Forums! I just have few questions.

Are you able to share if you have page setup assigned to this drawing file?

Has this happened before or is this a new issue?

Is it only with this drawing file or all drawing files?
