phankhanhvan Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Hi all, Please help. I am trying to plot a layout to PDF, but whenever I click OK, AutoCad crashes and shuts down immediately. I try to put that layout onto a Sheet (sheetset) and try to Publish from there, but again, there is Errors found and cannot plot, the Sheetset thing does not shut down the program but still cannot publish. One more thing is in the same AutoCad file, I have 4 layouts, and I can plot 2 layouts to PDF and 2 others just make AutoCad crashed. Please help, I have tried so many times and no fairy tale happens... :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobDraw Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Are you using the same plot settings on all the layouts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phankhanhvan Posted August 12, 2014 Author Share Posted August 12, 2014 yes, I uses the same plot setting because I created one layout, then duplicated that layout to get new layout. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phankhanhvan Posted August 12, 2014 Author Share Posted August 12, 2014 Please help, my boss is asking me for the drawings and I am so stuck here... I think there is something wrong within my drawing (I mean in Model space), the model seems abit heavier than my normal drawings. I asked my friend to plot them for me and they worked, but when back to my laptop, those just crash again. I dont know how to find the errors within the drawing... PLEASE HELP!!!

RobDraw Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 WBlock the entire drawing out to a fresh file. This should eliminate any errors that are not related to the objects in the drawing. You will need to recreate your layouts in the new file. If you are still getting errors after that, we will need to dig deeper. Since this seems to be computer related, it's possible that you are having a graphics card issue. Are you using on-board graphics or do you have a dedicated video card? What is different about those layouts? Are there any PDFs or other images? Lots of viewports? 3D views? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Attach a copy of the drawing to your next post. Someone here will take a look at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phankhanhvan Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 Thank you so much, I have tried WBLOCK and it still does not solve my problem. I am not sure about the graphic card of my laptop but my laptop is not new. Please look at the drawing file and help me. Here s the link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ef41wtdtc1tb07d/14_733_ELE%20SEC.dwg Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobDraw Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 No problem plotting to PDF here but I do not have the XREFs. Try detaching the XREFs and see if the problem is still there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
