I have two serious plotting issues I am trying to figure out.

1. I can not make a plot file from my computer. I am currently using AutoCad MEP and Revit MEP both 2009. What happens when I try and make a plot file I get some error that goes away so fast it can not be read and in the location I have specified for the file to live I get my plot log telling me that the plot file was made but no .plt file is there.

2. My work around for problem #1 is to make PDF files. The problem I am having there is radium parts are not showing up. For example my cad file will read “TV SYSTEM KEY NOTES” and my PDF reads “ YSTEM KE ”. I can go in and remake the PDF and everything is fine.

Dose anyone have thoughts or ideas as to why I am having such a hard time? Are these problems with my computer, my autocad or is this all some sort of operator error? I do most all of the plotting for my 30 person engineering firm and this is just killing me.
