I keep receiving the following error when trying to print with AutoCAD 2009...

ERROR: Memory allocation error

Anyone know how to fix this?? Also, we sometimes receive the warning that AutoCAD 2009 cannot find the plot style ( it comes up as " ****.ctb is missing"

Any help is appreciated. Thanks:bash2:

Hi Fred,

this problem occurs, when you have a wrong plotter configuration. Is the PDF-plotter working?

Generally means you have a plotter with insufficient RAM. Try to totally purge your drawing. If that doesn't work, and the boss won't upgrade the RAM on the plotter, then do a total explode on everything... but only after you save the drawing to a different name....then purge it all again....and see what happens next.

As for the .ctb file missing...if you had the .ctb file set in 2008 or whatever, and it didn't transfer across properly with migration to 2009, then you will have to manually use windows explorer to drop that file from 2008 into the "plot" folder for 2009. No biggie.

Just make sure the tools > options > files > Printer Support File Path points to where that .ctb file is........

It should be in a folder similar to this.....

C:\Documents and Settings\Admin\Application Data\Autodesk\Autodesk Map 3D 2007\R17.0\enu\Plot Styles
