Print Organizer really slow at printing cross section sheets

Print organizer is very slow at printing cross section sheets (20+ seconds / sheet).

Originally thinking it was just because of a certain linestyle or settings I tried multiple combinations of options and linestyles (even turning off linestyles) and that did not solve the issue.

Any idea why this could be happening?

  • Our cross section sheets do take longer to plot.  In our case I have always considered this to be caused by the GRID we have on each cross section and the line style of the GRID.  We have a pretty dense grid with a custom linestyle of dots.  Each dot is actually a very short line.  So the combination of a dense grid and the dot linestyle causes the plot of cross section to take longer in our case.

  • I tried your suggestions but my average print time is still about 24-25 seconds. The reason why I dont think its the title block is because we actually use the same block for PnP and XS sheets but with 1/2 the grid turned off (each line in the grid is on a seperate level) and in the case of using the block with PnP sheets the sheets print in an average of 3-5 seconds each. As far as linestyles are concerned the linestyles for the the grid are solid.

    This is seriously slowing down our workflow because a 35 page set of XS takes almost 15 mins to print.

    Thanks for any replies.

  • How were the cross sections drawn? Are they created by GeoPak which means that they're references? I've noticed a lot of times if I'm heavy on reference files print organizer will lag a bit.
