setabs Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Hi everyone, kindly assist with how to convert dwg to pdf in AutCAD R14 Quote
Dadgad Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Welcome to CADTutor. I have never worked with R14, so I won't try to answer your question, but please be patient, someone will help you. Maybe Patrick Hughes will see this, as he has used R14 for many years, before graduating to Autocad 2015 recently. You should check out this recent thread from Patrick, http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/showthread.php?91014-A-CAD-Dinosaur as you may appreciate it more than those on newer versions. Quote
eldon Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Assuming that your computer OS is not of a recent flavour, downloading DWG Trueview might be impossible. But you could always upload your drawing to the cloud using AutoCAD 360, and output a PDF. Quote
ReMark Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 You would have to use another program as it cannot be done within AutoCAD Release 14 itself. Quote
BIGAL Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 I would try cutepdf R14 supports the windows printers but it is old and may not talk properly. Quote
ReMark Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 setabs: Are you doing any 3D work with r14? Are you using any lisp routines? Quote

Any other suggestions are going to follow along the same lines (i.e. - you'll need an additional piece of software to accomplish the task). Quote
Patrick Hughes Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Thanks for the shout out Dadgad - you know, I've never done a lot of "plotting" to pdf in r14 and except for a screen grab or two I haven't even opened an r14 drawing since I started up 2015. When I was on r14 I think I had something along the lines of CutePDF and printed up to the free limit. In fact now that I've started up r14 a pdf printer isn't in the printer list. Quote
Patrick Hughes Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 I have DWG TrueView 2012 installed. That has a DWG to PDF printer configured. Quote
setabs Posted February 25, 2015 Author Posted February 25, 2015 ok i think il just try to get autocad 2014 Quote
