Plot and Publish Tab - Part 2
Background processing is how AutoCAD allows you to get back to
work when you send off a plot. Without this setting, you may tie up your machine
while it cranks away at your processing.
Turn both of these on.
There are two options here:
Plotting - setting this one to on by checking the box will
enable background processing for the PLOT command.
Publishing - setting this one to on by checking the box will
enable background processing for the PUBLISH command.
When background plotting is enabled, an icon will display in the lower right
corner of AutoCAD.
There are options that are enabled when you right click on the icon.
Right-click any of the plot and publish icons in the tray on the right side of
the status bar. The icon changes depending on what is happening in the
background.

More on Plotting and Publishing
Plot and publish log file turn it off you most likely
will never need this.
If you did create a log it would include:
- Job ID
- Job name
- Sheet set name
- Category name
- Date and time started and completed
- Sheet name
- Full file path
- Selected layout name
- Page setup name
- Named page setup path
- Device name
- Paper size name
- Final status
If you do create a file it will be located in the location set on the Files
tab of the Dialog box.

Plot and Publish Tab - Part 4
Closing out the left side of this dialog box brings us to Auto
Publishing
Checking the Automatic Publish radio button will publish DWF or DWFx or PDF
files upon your selected action. So you can set AutoCAD to create DWF or
PDF files when you save or close a file.
This may be overkill for most of you. Creating a DWF or PDF every time
you close a file may be overdone.
Render Appearance Library Location
If you move the Render Appearance Library from its default location, use the
Rendering tab of the Options dialog to specify its new location.
The Render Appearance Library is a read-only library that stores all render
appearances for materials, the default RPC content provided with the software,
and related rendering information.
When you install Revit Architecture, this library resides in the following
default location:
C:\Program Files\ <product name and
version>\Data\Rendering\assetlibrary_base.fbx
If necessary, you can move the Rendering folder but I would not advise that
it just clutters up your install and updates.
