Autocad 2007 LT plot incorrect information

Hi

We are using Autocad LT 2007. every drawing we plot is incorrect. if we view this plt, we see weird lines, perhaps some partial information from the drawing.

Things we tried with no help:

1. uninstall and reinstall autocad
   
2. download and install all patches
   
3. using different drivers
   
4. replacing the plotter file
   

we are using Win XP

any idea?

Thanks

Are you using xrefs in the file that does this or does this happen in any drawing, with or without xrefs?

If xrefs, open each of those files and run audit, maybe purge while you are there. Then run audit and purge in the parent file.

Check to make sure the missing information is not on 'DEFPOINTS' or another 'no plot' layer.

hay...its really freaking me out

no defpoint layers, no xref. Objects , its not going to this direction at all.

im trying it on another pc, and its the same. the plt viewr shows a complete mess of vectors. its seems like autocad is drunk

im plotting using : DesignJet 750C C3196A

well. i have some errors:

File: S:\S1857\cons\dwg\1857-2-003.dwg

Corrupted drawing file?

Are you plotting over a network?

Post one of the drawings (may have to zip it first) and let someone here have a crack at it.

Normally one would never have to uninstall/reinstall AutoCAD to solve a plotting problem. That's like changing all four tires on your car because it won't start.

Delete that .pc3 file and remake, make sure to go through the calibration portion so it creates the .pmp file.

i solve the problem by downloading a new HP driver for the plotter, but another problem pops out. i cant define a costum paper size. does anyone know a driver that does?

hp designjet 750c

Thanks

Do you have the latest driver for the 750c?

You don't need another driver to define a custom paper size. Select your plotter then click on the Properties button to the right. Then click on the Custom Properties at the next screen.
