    This document provides instructions for batch converting AutoCAD drawings to change the default plot device using Autodesk DWG TrueView. It explains that drawings retain plot settings that can cause errors when opened elsewhere. It outlines downloading DWG TrueView, using its "DWG Convert" tool to create a conversion setup that sets the default plotter to "none", adding files to convert, and clicking "Convert" to apply the changes to multiple drawings at once.

    AutoCAD Plotting – Device not Found

    Darin Green

    Have you seen the following warning message when opening someone else’s drawings?

    When you setup your drawings for plot, AutoCAD retains those setting within the
    drawing file itself. Whether you have 1 or 50 drawings that you need to set the plot
    device to “None” or change the plot device to another plotter altogether. Below you
    will find step-by-step directions for batch converting these drawings to use a different
    plot device.

    Before we start, you will need Autodesk DWG TrueView installed. I recommend
    getting the latest version using the following link:
    http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/pc/index?id=6703438&siteID=123112

    Autodesk DWG TrueView is not only for viewing AutoCAD drawings, but you can also
    perform some timesaving changes that most people are unaware of such as the
    following:
    • Check and Fix errors
    • Bind external references
    • Set default plotter to ‘none’
    • Purge drawings
    • Replace page setups
    • Convert file version
    • Pack and Go to a zip or exe

    AutoCAD Plotting – Device not Found

    Open Autodesk DWG Trueview. Within the application menu, select “DWG Convert”.

    The DWG Convert dialog box is displayed,

    At this point, I recommend creating setups for future use such as...
    AutoCAD Plotting – Device not Found
    Now, we need to create a new setup for setting the plot device to none.
    Click the “Conversion Setups…” button

    In the conversion Setups dialog box, click the “New” button

    In the New Conversion Setup dialog box, give your new setup a name and click
    “Continue”
    AutoCAD Plotting – Device not Found
    The following dialog box is where all the magic happens…

    First, make sure the Conversion package type is set to “in-place (overwrite files)”.
    Also, note the File Format is currently set to AutoCAD 2013. There’s currently no
    options for leaving the existing file version alone, so be sure to select the file format
    you want these files to be saved as.

    Secondly, under “Actions” check the “Set default plotter to ‘none’” and/or check
    “Replace page setups” and browse to an existing drawing where you have your
    standard page setups.

    Last but not lease, click the Ok button.


    AutoCAD Plotting – Device not Found
    Now that we have setup for changing the plot device to none, we can use it whenever
    we need to without changing those settings every time we need to perform this task.

    Back on the main page, select our newly created setup “Plot Settings” and click the
    “Add file” button.

    After you load all of the drawings that need to be changed, click the “Convert”
    button.
