Topic: .dwg crashes on print

[mjfarrell]

Ok so it prints, but crashes on print preview...

If one is properly using Named Page Setups, one should have little need to Preview the print, unless one is wanting to take a 'working' break.


One needs to print the properly configured Layout Tabs, I say not extents. To this I say Nay!

Yes I know you say nay, but I say YAY! This encourages folks to not leave remnants of past thoughts floating around in paperspace and for the most part it has worked progressively well over time.

And besides, this time around I was simply wanting to print just a small area rather than the entire sheet so I had windowed it and out of habit I always click preview in that case.

[Spike Wilbury]

did you try another pc3? and still does not allow to preview?

[dfarris75]

Tried another printer altogether. Same error.

[Spike Wilbury]

well..... that's strange

I ran here a recover and it find an error on your drawing:

after doing the audit or recover and then open the drawing via recover it shows a ton of errors like:

          Error for Entry (209D2) eInvalidInput         was Removed.

          Error for Entry (209B7) eInvalidInput         was Removed.

and after doing all that, I open the drawing via recover one more time and still it shows:

AcDbSpatialIndex(3082C)           was repaired.

Audit does not catch it....

below is your drawing saved with A2007, hth

[mjfarrell]

I think at this point it is no longer a C3D drawing any longer, or is it?

There is NO Surface object in that file.  aaaaghhhhh!!!!!!!

that's why I rename it.....

to exclude any possibilty....   - I should mentioned that...

[mjfarrell]

you KILLER!!!!!!!   



   

[dfarris75]

Still doesn't work. I tried the same. Recover > save > Audit > save > Recover > save... It catches one or two errors each time.  :realmad:

[mjfarrell]

I might just have to fire up a version of 2008 so I can touch it without contaminating it with the 2009 upgrade virus.
For a more detailed look at it.
