Fix the glitch that causes Revit to double print sheets
This has been a known issue for a decade, but recent releases seem to be even worse. Rather than a stray duplicate or two Revit seems to frequently print duplicates of nearly every sheet in the set. It appears to be related to currently open views, but I have had open views not be duplicated and I've had unopened views duplicate at the plotter. This is both wasteful and infuriating. Please fix it.
I have run into this forever and I know it is infuriating! This is a good example of Revit's UI being so messed up that you have to be an Expert with a complex workaround to do something very basic.
But in case you want to workaround it, I can maybe help you. Are you printing to PDFs? Bluebeam?
My workaround has been to configure Bluebeam to automatically dump files into a folder without asking for a filename. Then if Revit decides to print something twice, it just overwrites the file and I don't even notice.
In case you're using Bluebeam: Run Bluebeam administrator and turn off "prompt for filename" and specify an output directory. Note that you have to turn off automatically opening of PDFs, for two reasons: 1> This double printing bug will cause revit to stop printing because it can't open the already existing file for writing and 2> when Bluebeam hits this is starts randomly rotating the pages!
