Plotting OLE Objects

[jwherry]

I have a Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet embedded in an AutoCAD 2004 Drawing. The drawing was originally created on AutoCAD 2000 LT and when plotted would always include the MS Excel Spreadsheet. Since I have upgraded to AutoCAD 2004, the spreadsheet shows in the Plot Preview, but does not plot. I am currently plotting to a HP Deskjet 895Cse Inkjet Printer. I have reviewed all of the Help files and made the recommmended Plotter Configuration settings, alas to no avail. Any assistance on resolving this issue will be deeply appreciated.

Hi

Check out the following Technical Documents on the Autodesk web site under the Knowledge Base section -

ID: TS73483 - OLE objects with Plot Quality set to Line Art do not plot

ID: TS71114 - Some OLE objects do not plot

ID: TS47508 - Determine driver to use for optimal plotting of OLE objects and raster images

Have a good one, Mike

Thanks Mike, I reviewed the information and changed the settings to Photograph, rather than Line-Art and got a successful plot!
