Automated printing from AutoCAD problem

[talter]

Hi,

I am trying to plot from AutoCAD using the Bullzip driver under full control of a VBA macro (no dialogs).

On one machine it works fine, on another it is extremely slow (~2 minutes to generate a PDF.) While it's working, the red circle in the system tray is visible.

Plotting manually works fine, PDF is created in seconds. Everything seems to be the same except for the difference of being under program control vs. manual.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?

Are there any differences in the two scenarios. Do you have the same configuration for watermarks and backgrounds in both manual and automatic mode?

Regards,
Jacob

Hi Jacob,

Thanks for your response. Neither the "good" nor the "bad" has had any significant change made from default settings (except portrait/landscape rotation).

The only possible differences are in the operating environments between the two machines, I just don't know what to look for. What could cause the PDF generation process to take so long?
