How to create a PDF from AutoCAD with a Single Click

Have you been Plotting or Printing Adobe® ‘Portable Document Files’ from your AutoCAD drawings? Check out AutoCAD's Export to PDF tool for a simple alternative.

The ability to ‘Plot’ PDF files directly from AutoCAD has been on the AUGI wish list for many years. PDF remains the standard ‘Electronic’ file format for drawing exchange in the AEC Industries. PDF support was finally added to AutoCAD in 2009.

If you have worked with previous versions of AutoCAD before release 2009, then you may have added a ‘Virtual’ PDF plotter to your computer. To create a PDF you would have had to send your Plot file to this Virtual Plotter, which would create a PDF instead of a paper plot.

This feature has now been built directly into AutoCAD. You can send your plots straight to AutoCAD's DWG to PDF.pc3 Plot configuration file to create your PDF’s.

But there is a faster and easier way… (see the entire article here)

New Presentations for Modeling Roadway Drainage and Water Quality

Choose Autodesk Solutions for Water Resources Projects We are pleased to present two new screencast presentations to help you learn even more about Autodesk® Storm and Sanitary Analysis (SSA). Modeling Roadway Drainage with Autodesk Storm and Sanitary Analysis This screencast outlines the roadway drainage capabilities of Autodesk Storm and Sanitary Analysis. This presentation will introduce you to the inlet analysis and design capabilities of the Autodesk® solution, including its use of the FHWA HEC-22 methodology, as well as the comprehensive culvert sizing and design capabilities. Watch Now                             Modeling Water Quality and Low Impact Development with Autodesk Storm and Sanitary Analysis This presentation shows how SSA can model particulate build-up between storms, and the wash off of that particulate matter when the storm occurs. You'll see how you can model the runoff and routing of the water quality flow through the network, and account for water quality treatment structures. Watch Now                             Learn more about SSA today and choose Autodesk for your water resources projects.
