Client was messing around some more with the files. &nbsp;It prints fine to the plotter just not to a HP 9600 printer. <br />
<br />
I read something about how the printers had to use a Microsoft driver to print OLE. <br />
<br />
Any help guys?<br />
<br />
Thanks!

Hey guys -<br />
<br />
I have a client using AutoCAD, and all of the sudden he is unable to print files with embedded images. &nbsp;The file prints fine, only the OLE embedment is black.<br />
<br />
This is what he wrote to me:<br />
<br />
&quot;I have been using Adobe psd files of many sizes in AutoCAD for years with no problem. Suddenly, while appearing ok in print preview, the printout is total black. I don't know what setting has changed. I've tried changing every parameter to no effect. Also, strangely, when the file is saved as a pdf it prints as a picture, but upside-down.&quot;<br />
<br />
Any suggestions guys? &nbsp;I suggested calling AutoCAD (but its paid support) or to reinstall the program but thats timely as you gotta reconfigure it all.<br />

AutoCAD not able to print files with embedded images

Computer-aided design (CAD) is the use of computer systems to aid in the creation, modification, analysis, or optimization of a design. CAD output is often in the form of electronic files for print, machining, or other manufacturing operations. CAD software for mechanical design uses either vector-based graphics to depict the objects of traditional drafting, or may also produce raster graphics showing the overall appearance of designed objects. As in the manual drafting of technical and engineering drawings, the output of CAD must convey information, such as materials, processes, dimensions, and tolerances, according to application-specific conventions.
