It could be the plotter driver. Have you tried to uninstall the pc3 driver and reinstall it using add-a-plotter-wizard?]]> Wed, 16 Mar 2011 04:51:57 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=5422&PID=14034&title=memory-out#14034 <![CDATA[memory out : It was Kajito that suggested trying...]]> https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=5422&PID=13804&title=memory-out#13804 Author: John Connor

It was Kajito that suggested trying to print as PDF not me.

So, it worked and then it didn't work.  That's not great news.
 
What version of AutoCAD are you using?

Hello again my friend,
 
I wanted to tell you but i forgot it;
 
I found the "send job as a bitmap" today.
 
I checked it, wished to solve the problem, but still...here i am.
 
Then I printed as a pdf as you told me; and here is the strange part.
 
At first, when i printed it, it was printed just perfect. The second time though, the "out of memory" message came up again.

Last option I can think of.  Follow closely.  As a matter of fact copy the text and put it a document file and print it out.  This way you can 1) follow the steps easier and 2) undo what you just did if it doesn't work.
 
Click on the Windows Start button and go to Printers and Faxes.
Find your plotter and right-click on it.  Choose Properties.
On the General tab click on the "Printing Preferences" button.
At the next window click on the "Services" tab.
On the Services tab click on the "Troubleshoot Software Problems" button.
Enable the middle option called "Send job as a bitmap (Process in Computer).
Click on the OK button.
Close out the dialog box.
 
Try to plot.  What happens?
 
Reverse if unsuccessful.

Does the drawing use TrueType fonts or AutoCAD .shx fonts?  Just curious.

Is there a lot of hatching being used?

have you tried to print the dwg as pdf? That could help.
Just one note: the size of plt and dwg has no relation. Try to print the dwg and see your printer what size is being actually spooled. We had in the past the same problems with the same printer and the same amount of memory, solved by upgrading the memory card.

No humour at all... Well i believe this drawing will make us(me) nuts.
 
I did the test plot and it's ok.
 
The client took it from the architect and send it to me.
 
I don't know...i rest my case......

Well that makes two of us.  I tried too.  Perhaps that is specific to the 800 model.
 
Not sure what to tell you at this point.  I know you said the problem is only with this one drawing but would you humour me and do a Printer Test Plot?
 
What is the source of the drawing?  Did you create it from scratch or did it come to you from outside the company?  A client or contractor?

I did the purge, i did the wblock as you said but still nothing.

I read the online info you sent me.

I have 32MB. I think is ok.

But i'm searching the "avoid out of memory" in Advances options but i can't find it.

Those are my steps (Win XP)

Start>Printers and Faxes>Right click to plotter>advanced options....but i can't find an option as it said in your info.
