Wishlist item: Print directly to PDF with plot settings in place

Hi - While we're developing the greatest CAD program in the history of the world, I'd love it if it would output directly to PDF with plot settings in place. "Export as PDF" is more-or-less useless for me and the suggested alternative PDFCreator (pseudo-printer) is a Windows program. Theoretically, a Linux user can set up a PDF printer in CUPS with CUPS-PDF, but that program has bugs in OpenSUSE 11.3, which just happens to be what I'm using. -- Nearly every Linux program I use has the ability to print directly to PDF. I hope Bricsys will be able to incorporate that feature too.

  • @ John; Will have, see the File menu (export and pdf export options)

    Remeber that the current version is beta.

  • Thanks Elmer,

    I see (and saw) the PDF export options on the file menu. I also see a great big warning " Note: the Export command exports drawings without applying plot settings. To create PDF files with plot settings applied, the drawing can pe printed to a PDF printer like e.g. PDFCreator which can be downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator."

    For me, it is useless to export a drawing without the plot settings. I hope Bricsys is planning a PDF export tool that does apply plot settings - possibly accessed as a built-in printer in the plotting routine - and I'm glad you say they will.

    The tool PDFCreator is a Windows program.

    I'm aware the program is beta and thank you for letting me review the work-in-progress.

  • hello

    @John Hersey: You can solve this problem with sudo apt-get install cups-pdf (or the package in you distro). Then configure a new printer (with cups or Printer options).
    The new pdf printer will appear in the list of printers of briscad.

    Sorry english its no my native lenguage

  • Thanks Pablo - I know about cups-pdf, but it is buggy with the flavor of Linux I'm using (OpenSUSE,) so I was making the suggestion that Bricscad incorporate a good PDF out mechanism like most other linux based software I've used.

    Your English is much better than my <insert-your-language-here.> I only speak English myself :( and probably not very well.

  • One thing I'm wondering about is the general Ubuntu print to file function, which I THINK might be working through ghostscript.

    I'm not a developer, so I don't know the ins and outs of Ubuntu, and why some packages have that option and others do not.  But if that could be connected to it generates very nice PDFs.

  • @John Hersey I managed to get cups-pdf to work well enough on openSUSE 11.2. It shouldn't be that hard to get it going on 11.3. I installed it through a repository I found on software.opensuse.org. What exactly is the problem you have?

  • I second to the request. Although the pdf printers do nowadays nice stuff, I really miss button which would export all layouts to PDF files (or one multipage file) at once. So instead of going through all the layouts at once, when something is changed, you could simply pick File → Exporting → Export all layouts to PDF

  • @ Ricardo - I have just upgraded my system from OpenSuse 11.2 64 to OpenSuse 11.3 32 (KDE 4.4.4) and have been able to load cups-pdf even though there is no official version of it in the OpenSuse repositories. (I used the 11.2 version.) Thanks for offering some assistance, but I don't seem to need it getting cups-pdf to work anymore.

    @ Mattias - Thank you for the second. An unexpected hassle with cups-pdf (if you use it as I do, to keep up-to-date printable versions of all drawings) is the need to rename and move the PDF files as they are created.

    @ Bradley - I don't know the ins and outs of Ubuntu printing either but I imagine it isn't much different than other GNOME flavors of Linux. Which brings me to a question for Bricscad devlelopers: have you determined if GNOME or KDE is a better environment in which to run Bricscad, if either?

  • for opensuse 11.3

  • I have installed cups-pdf, and it is generating PDF output for me.

    I have one problem - I need to plot to US ARCH sheets, and I am getting non-standard sheet output.  Specifically, ArchD which should be 24" x 36" is plotting as 22" x 34".  This smaller sheet is an ANSI D size format, not Arch D.

    Almost all my work needs to be PDF output on either the ArchD (24"x36") or Arch E1(30"x42").  The sheet sizes worked when I was running BricsCAD windows trial.

    I can't determine if this is happening in BricsCAD linux or cups-pdf.

    Could someone else verify this behavior for me please?

    Any suggestions on resolution?

  • John,

     

    I can confirm the problem with plotting to the ARCHD size sheets. I submitted a bug report to this effect last week. I received confirmation from Bricsys that they were able to reproduce this bug. Hopefully this will be fixed soon, as this is our most commonly used sheet size.

    The problem I have had with cups-PDF in the past is that it will only use US-LETTER as a sheet size. The version we use seems to still have this limitation. It will generate a nice PDF, and is OK for viewing onscreen, but to print it out properly at the right scale involves a lot more work than we have time for.

  • Printing to PDF is possible with CUPS-PDF. I had to edit the generic PPD file to get the sizes I wanted (takes some learning here). After that the only issue is the preview window that sometimes (but not allways) doesn't honour the landscape orientation. But the pdf prints fine, with line thickness and colors.

  • @Bradley, yes, I am also getting an odd sized Arch D sheet just slightly smaller than 24"x36" and the 22"x34" size you measured seems right to me although I haven't measured it myself. I also cannot determine if it's a Bricscad or Cups-pdf issue.

    @Bruno, I'm getting pdf sheets with cups-pdf and they're almost useful. It's a pain to go find the pdf sheet and rename it and put it in the right directory etc., but it works in a somewhat kludgy way.

    I repeat, for the Bricscad developers, that it would be nice if the program would write a pdf like nearly every other linux program - a wysiwyg print with all pen settings etc on the right size sheet in a directory you can change and with a file name you can change.

  • Similar problem here, we can only get the pdf output as 8.5 x 11

     

    @B Limmer - what ppd file did you modify, it's location?  I would try anything for decent pdf output.

  • @Tracy Helms - You can try to change the printer driver that cups-pdf uses. I had great results with the HP DesignJet 800PS driver. You can change that through the printer settings dialog.

  • @John Hersey: In opensuse I made a softlink to /var/spool/cups-pdf/<my-user-name> - change /var/spool according to your system (probably the same). CUPS-PDF write all PDFs there. It's very easy to use it this way.

    @Tracy Helms: In opensuse the ppd is in /usr/share/cups/model/CUPS-PDF.ppd. You could change it directly or copy it with a new name, edit it and in your printer config tool (Yast>Harware>Printers in opensuse) set the CUPS-PDF printer to use this ppd. AFAIR you have to include/change the page description line in sections PageSize, PageRegion, ImageableArea and PaperDimension. For example: here are the original and edited files I'm using, where I included the landscape variations of Brazilian standards :

  • @ Bruno - yes, I've done the same thing. It's an inadequate solution IMHO. My purpose in writing PDFs is to keep record copies of my drawings, ready to print to paper at any time. The extra step of renaming each file from the spool directory to one for the project shouldn't be necessary and if I did want to make a script to batch print my drawings, I'd need to drop out of Bricscad between each print and issue a bash mv command (I keep several drawings within a single DWG file and since I'm unable to control the file name of the outputted PDF from within Bricscad each subsequent print would overwrite the previous) and although probably do-able, I don't want to spend the time to learn how to write a script that incorporates bash commands.

  • @Hersey: from the cups-pdf readme file:

    "Once you print to the new device the output directory selected in
       cups-pdf.conf (defaults to /var/spool/cups-pdf) will be created and all
       converted PDF files will be placed in subdirectories named after the owner
       of the print job. In case the owner cannot be identified (i.e. does not
       exist on the server) the output is placed in the directory for anonymous
       operation (if not disabled in cups-pdf.conf - defaults to
       /var/spool/cups-pdf/ANONYMOUS/).
       Furthermore if logging is enabled the logfile will be placed by default in
       /var/log/cups."

     

    When I print a file from bricscad to PDF, say, file DRAWING1.dwg, I get a file named Bricscad-DRAWING1-Model.pdf in /var/spool/cups-pdf/<my-user-name>.

    If I immediately print another file, say, DRAWING57.dwg, I get, guess what: Bricscad-DRAWING57-Model.pdf. No repeated name, no overwriting, no problems with batch printing.

    So I'd suggest you check if you are printing as your regular user, not ANONYMOUS, and if your regular user has write permissions to /var/spool/cups-pdf/<your-regular-user-name>.

    Note that I'm running Bricscad in opensuse 11.1 x86_64, with cups-pdf version 2.5.0. Your distro may have different paths/version.

  • Bruno, I repeat, I keep several drawings within a single DWG file. Each sheet printed from the same file is given the same name. Yes, I could work around it by setting up different layouts for different sheets, but that would require I change the way I work and I'm not interested in investing the hundreds of hours it would take me to change all my projects that have already been formatted.

  • Ah, I tought your problem was different. Sorry you had to repeat yourself.

    I'm curious: how do you batch-print several drawings from one file with different names in AutoCAD (or whatever CAD you're using)? I didn't think that was possible.

  • John Hersey,

    This can be done: Cups-pdf can be set to postprocess and scripts can be installed to pop up a window for selection of the destination and the filename. The best directions I have found are at: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=837257   See post #2 by mexlinux and his follow-up not in post #5.

    The poster provides a shell script, a .py script and an .xml script. Modifications, as root, are required to an apparmor file and to the cups-pdf configuration file

     I have gone through the steps and it does work, but there are some caveats: first, some of his pop-choices are in Spanish (no big thing to a non-Spanish speaker, as they are still understandable) second, the CUPS configurations are not all editable from Bricscad (for instance, if you set to ANSI-D size elsewhere, no setting available in Bricscad will over-ride that to, say, letter size).

    GTKLP is a program that lets you edit all the options (but not file name or destination), but it is not callable from within Bricscad; it is called from the command line... so, not too useful.

    All-in-all, this is cumbersome and not very smooth. It would be far better if Bricscad simply had a "Print To File" option button available no matter what printer a user had selected. Like you, I prefer to print to .pdf  both as a record file and to distribute drawing files to other users in non-modifiable form.

  • I realized after reviewing some of the earlier posts in this thread that using GTKLP can fix the problem that many have had with incorrect sheet sizes of .pdf prints. The problem is that the Bricscad print dialog does not access all the printer options (it should, but it does not. This is a bug).

    GTKLP is available in the Ubuntu repository (I'm using Ubuntu) and typing GTKLP in the terminal calls the program. It lets you set many print options. Once set there, those options seem to remain valid when you next use the printer from Bricscad. (Of course, it is a GTK app... which goes with Gnome. However, I understand there is a 'kprinter' equivalent in KDE desktops).

  • This has turned into a discussion of how to make cups-pdf work, which is precisely what I didn't want to get into when I suggested that Bricscad incorporate a proper print-to-PDF option in the print dialogue. I suppose the discussion can serve as an example of why print-to-pdf has to be incoprporated into the program.

    @S Schuller - thank you for the cups-pdf script idea. I might need to pursue it if time allows.

    @Bruno Limmer - I gave the batch printing problem as an example of the hoops we need to jump through because the print-to-PDF option isn't available (yet,) but a script could be written that could say something like:

    print 0,0 36,24 ...

    print 0,24 36,48 ...

    print 0,48 48,72 ...

    where the coordinates represent the corners of 3 sheet stacked horizontally (for example) in paper space and "..." represents the balance of the input necessary for the print command. I realize it's simplistic, but it could work. It would be a script, not a program. I suppose that such a script could be created for every DWG file and then another script could be written that would open DWG after DWG and execute the scripts associated with each DWG. -- OK, I just tested my script suggestion and I see there's no way to generate a plot completely from the command line. Last time I wrote scripts for plot generation, there was. That was ages ago though, with AutoCAD on Sparc Sun (unix) stations. -- I give up.

  • " Last time I wrote scripts for plot generation, there was. That was ages ago though..."

    I used to do a thing like that, too. All my plot windows were set up in a grid and I had a square on a tablet to click to plot each one. Slick, smooth and long in the past.

  • I'm new to Bricscad, and I am running Version 10.6.5 Build 18704 under Debian kernel 2.6.30-2-amd64.

    When I try to "export to pdf" all I get is "Unable to Export the file."

    I take it from this discussion that Linux Bricscad has no native PDF generation support at this point?  Or am I missing something else?  A PDF library perhaps?

    I am not interested in implementing CUPS as it screws up my lprng setup, which works fine across the multiple FBSD & Linux systems in my workspace.  It also sounds a bit like the tail wagging the dog.

    As an aside, I noticed no ability to export to SVG, which seems almost a no-brainer.  Is there any interest in the community for this?

     

  • @Andrew Ghali - You're not missing anything. Bricscad is! It still doesn't have PDF export capabilities. In fact it can't export to anything. So far the only solution users have to get files out of it (apart from the dwg and dxf formats) is really just cups-pdf. Isn't there some kind of PDF or EPS backend for lprng?
