Have you experienced any of these issues with AutoCAD products: slow opening of drawings, crashing, pausing within AutoCAD, and slow plotting? Clients, sub-consultants, and approving agencies often have DWG™ files that get corrupted. This can cause loss of work and missed deadlines. Drawing corruption can range from small annoying issues to being unable to open or print files. This corruption can affect your files and spread across your projects rapidly. In this session, we will explore methodologies and workflows to prevent files from getting corrupted due to internal and external factors. We will review 7 things that cause drawing slowness, and we’ll show how to repair the drawings.

Plotting can be one of the more confusing aspects of using AutoCAD software and AutoCAD verticals. When the time comes to plot, all you want is your file on paper, but the options seem overwhelming. PC3, PMP, STB, CTB...so many files. What should you use and when? Then there are file types. Should you plot to PDF or DWF™? What is the difference? When should you use each one? Which drivers should you use for each file type? What are the differences between plotting from AutoCAD on a PC and plotting from AutoCAD on a Mac®? Why are your margins so big? Have you ever felt lost while trying to plot? Ever wondered what all those extra options are that you never use? Then this class is for you. Come and see just how easy plotting can be.
