Strange Print issue

Anonymous
Not applicable

If i choose to select a set of sheets from a project and send to a printer, occasionally one plan will be printed more than one time. i.e sheet A1.01, sheet A1.02, A1.03 are all selected and sheet A1.02 will be printed x2. it does not matter the printer it is sent to and it does not always happen. I was wondering if anyone else has had this happen or knows why it is happening.

Thanks

that happens here occasionally from three different printers. I've never figured out why it happens and it's intermittent. PITA to have to check all printed sets for dups though

Make sure the active View on your screen when you initiate the print command is a Sheet, not a Schedule or Legend.  And you are better on the Sheet layout space, not inside one of the Sheet views.

It's a rare fluke, but it just happened to me while printing a set of pdf sheets out of Bluebeam Revu.

 

I suspect it's not related to the software you're printing from, but instead some hiccup in Windows' print spool functionality.

I have had the same issue.  For some reason, it also likes to print sheets that aren't selected.  Has anyone run into that?

I dont get duplicate sheets but I do get certain sheets rotated 90 degrees from the rest of the set.  always happens to certain sheets for every project.   

 

also, is there a way to print the sheets in a different order from alphabetical (A1, A2, G1, G2....) to indexed order?
