Plot to file problem on HP 1050C

Discussion in 'AutoCAD' started by Lisa Pohlmeyer, Dec 30, 2004.

  1. I just installed LDD5, removed LDD4 first. I can plot directly to the
    plotter just fine, but when I try to plot to a file, the app seems to
    hang when bringing up a dialog of where to put the file. Not sure if
    this is just a plotting issue because I've also noticed that when I try
    to do a regular insert of a block, the app hangs trying to bring up the
    dialog box. I've tried removing all the program files, reinstalling,
    etc. All the service packs have been applied. Any ideas?

    I would guess that the plotting program is searching through directories
    that it has been programmed for. Not finding a "rogue" directory.

  3. This is exactly what happenned here. IT had mapped a new drive
    on startup and the drive was not available. Everytime Autocad
    opened a file dialog, it spent about a minute searching for the drive.
