Raster image plot problem

[viriato79]

When I do plot in a layout with a drawing wich has a raster image, this image does not appear in the plot but only the other objects. What´s happening? Is there any raster image on/off button for plotting? In the layout the image is visible even in the plot preview.
Thanks

Do you have the latest plot drivers installed for your printer?

[viriato79]

Yes I have. But the same happens when I plot to a pdf file.

Sounds like it could be a memory problem.

What version of Autocad are you running? (Please update your profile).
What are the specs on your computer?
What are the specs on your printer?
What pdf program are you using?
What operating system are you running?

Does this happen with all drawings that contain images, or just this one?
Is this image especially large?
What is the file size of the drawing?

Using Autocad 2008, Computer 2MB RAM WinVista Intel Centrino Dual Core, printing with adobe pdf or primo pdf (problem still the same).

Raster Image tiff with 114MB

This happened some time ago and I inserted the image again and the problem was solves, but not this time. Looks like the image is frozen to print, but in the print preview it is visible.

Have you tried running PURGE to get rid of all unecessary junk in the drawing? Also run AUDIT to check for problems.

Are you sure that the layer you have the image in isnt checked not to plot?. Sometimes its the simple stuff that gets you!

If the image was on a layer that was set to "No Plot", then he wouldn't see the image in the plot preview.

the image is visible even in the plot preview.

In which case it is likely an issue of insufficient memory in the printer. I've had this issue before with older printers that just didn't have the juice needed to process larger images.

That's what I thought, but he says it happens with pdf's also.

I believe the problem is with the image itself. a 114MB image is huge.
Viriato, is the image a tif or a jpg? If it's a tif, try saving it as a jpg and reinsert it. The jpg will have a much smaller file size. This will make it much easier to process the file for printing.
