SW2008 Crashing

SW2008 Crashing

SW2008 Crashing

(OP)
We are using SW2008 and everytime I try to plot something the software encounters a problem and has to close.  I can print out a part drawing on a 8 1/2 x 11, but if I switch the printer to the plotter it crashes.  I have tried plotting on another computer that has the same software and it crashes.  I was able to plot a document from MS Word, so this proves that it is the software.  When we were using SW2007 I was able to plot fine. Has anyone else encountered this problem?

RE: SW2008 Crashing

So--the usual question--what SP are you using?

Do you get a print preview prior to printing to the plotter?

About 90% of the time with Plotter issues it turns out to be a bad Driver. Try updating your Driver.

Just to follow up.  We updated the driver and now we are plotting fine.  I hope this helps anyone that comes across this problem.  Thank you SBaugh for your help.
