BamaBoy Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I recently upgraded to Windows 10. At first the problem was that Autocad could not see/find the plotter on the network, after several days of trying to find the problem, updating the plotter driver, etc. it somehow fixed itself... now my problem is that when I send a drawing to the plotter it only plots about half of it (i.e. a 24x36 drawing comes out about a 18x24 plot) full size, not fitted to sheet) meaning it just cuts the sheet in half and I never get the second half. I have reset everything in page setup, reworked sheet sizes, added custom sheets with 24x36 sizes (and other sizes) no no avail... Any suggestions?

BlackBox Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I'm using Win10 as well, however I admittedly do not print directly to a plot device - instead I use DWG to PDF plot driver to produce PDF via Autopublish at drawing save, and subsequently combine the PDFs needed for a given submittal / review plan set (sending the PDF to the plot device).

BamaBoy Posted November 4, 2015 Author Share Posted November 4, 2015 That's one of the funny things (to me) about this... I can print to PDF and then print the PDF to the plotter and it works fine. So, to me, the problem has to be with Autocad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, to me, the problem has to be with Autocad. More accurately, it's that there's an issue with the Plot Driver(s) not yet being updated to work with AutoCAD in a Win10 environment - after all, it is not yet a supported OS per Autodesk system requirements, and *most* are merely attempting this new OS for testing purposes.
