Issue: When users are working remotely and they attempt to plot drawings, the plotter is configured for a network plotter which they do not have access to when off-site. This causes the plotting process to take upwards of 15 minutes, wasting valuable time.
Workflow:
Reset Plotter to None ONLY
1. Open Autodesk TrueView and use the DWF Convert tool:
Autodesk TrueView Download

2. Once the tool is opened, create a new SETUP by right clicking inside the setup area.

3. There only 2 things we need to change here (Conversion package type & Set default plotter to none).

Once setup is complete, you can start adding your drawings for conversion.

  • From the DWG Convert window, use the Add Files button at the bottom of the dialog.
  • When drawings are added to the list, and they have xref’s attached, they will also come along for the ride.
  • Uncheck any drawing that you do not want to convert (by default all of them are checked). Then click Convert.
