Are you using the DWG to PDF.pc3 that came with AutoCAD 2010, or did you migrate the old one?

Kate, is the new one broken?  I ask b/c the 08 version was broken, and the work around was to bring the 07 version forward

Considering Autodesk's track record when it comes to actually fixing stuff that should be working to begin with....

Quote from: Autodesk Upper-Management
Hey! I've got an idea.  Instead of using our time to fix the bugs, let's totally revamp the way our software looks.  Hmmm... but how?  Oh, I know!!  Let's make it look like Microsoft Office!  Let's just "borrow" their ideas and call it our own!

Ummmm... no comment.   :roll: :wink:

No, using an old PC3 is what causes the problem.

I still use Acroplot, makes a small file size with great detail and extremely high rate of compatability.

Right the question is WHICH dwg-to-pdf plotter you're using. (The method of plotting/exporting doesn't matter if the PC3 file is messed up.) If you migrated the PC3 from an earlier version, delete it and use the one that came with 2010.
