Hi everyone. I was using AutoCad 2009 for designing electrical schematic drawings and plot them to one PDF file using PrintContuctor. For example 200 dwgs to one pdf file. Recently i installed AutoCad 2012 and i can't use PrintContuctor for printing. Is there an application to do this multiple plotting to one file? For AutoCad 2004 i know there's a software called AutoCad batchplot utility which is doing this job. |

There is no way that running the PUBLISH command when then cause AutoCAD not to load the next time round. Use Task Manager to kill the frozen start up. Shut down the computer completely. Wait 20 seconds then start it up. Open AutoCAD. What happens? ------------- "Humans have a strength that cannot be measured. This is John Connor.

Yes, AutoCAD shouldn't freeze with a PDF print.
I remember that our AutoCAD slowed when we had our .ctb files not loaded in our (C) or (D) disks but in the standard place defined in :
options, files, ... as shown up here.

Sounds like something else is going on. Is this computer networked? ------------- "Humans have a strength that cannot be measured. This is John Connor. If you are reading this, you are the resistance." <<AutoCAD 2015>> |
