Plotting DWF Help

Greetings,

We have a DWF containing 400+ sheets that was created via the Sheet Set Manager in AutoCAD 2008. We have since upgraded to AutoCAD 2009 and now when we plot the DWF the sheets appear off center and zoomed in when viewed in Autodesk Design Review. Is there any setting that I can check in the properties of the Sheet Set Manager before plotting to correct this behavior?

Thanks
Dean Saadallah

You need to correct the settings in AutoCAD prior to creating the DWF files:
is 2009 fully patched/updated?
Post in the R2009 area for additional guidance.

Dean, thanks for the reply.

"You need to correct the settings in AutoCAD prior to creating the DWF files"

....right, which was my original question. What settings can I check in the AutoCAD sheet set manager to correct this issue? The DWF ran fine under AutoCAD 2008.

"is 2009 fully patched/updated?"

Yes it is, here is the information:
Product Name: AutoCAD Map 3D 2009
Product service pack: AutoCAD Map 3D 2009 Version 4
Product version: C.711.0 (UNICODE)

Thanks again for your help.

This area is for folks already in possession of a dwf and needing to do
something with the dwf: view, print, share etc.

Your query is for AutoCAD MAP and AutoCAD plotting: as in, before dwf
creation. Reposting elsewhere might get you quicker responses.

Dean thanks again for the reply and information. I'll post in the recommended groups.

...remember since it was your recommendation, you can't yell at me for cross-posting. ;-)

Also, you issue is most likely a pagesetup that needs revised from 2008, not
an SSM setting: SSM is simply a sheet handler, it does not print or publish
or control either function.

Dean,

The plot setups are identical between both applications, so no help there. But thanks anyway!
