I'm trying to plot a job that came up from 8.1 into 9.0. It plots fine to paper, but when I choose plot to file, I get an empty plot file - 0 bytes. The only thing that has changed is the upgrade to 9.0. The Oce driver is the same, the project plotted fine to file in 8.1...
We've gone through every toggle, double checked the advanced settings on the plotter driver, and nothing. No warnings, nothing. Just a null file.

Help!

Dear Jeff;
I know there have been some issues with plotting to file. Have you tried plotting to PDF using the Adobe PDF writer (not a third party PDF writer or Revit's PDF writer)?

Thanks for the reply - We were trying to send plots to the service bureau, but ended up plotting here on the HP and sending them out - luckily we had a backup. I'm still not sure what the issue is. It acts like everything is working fine, but the .prn files are all totally empty. We tried it on a couple of different machines with different plotter drivers, and nothing seems to be working. It might be an Oce issue with the new software - shouldn't be with Windows drivers, but who knows!
