ImagePROGRAF tx-3100 and AutoCAD

Hello,

I am using Inventor and AutoCAD software and we only plot to 3 different size sheets of paper: C, D, and E. . Printing from Inventor seems to work without problems, it's just AutoCAD. The problem seems to be an issue between the plot dialog and the plotter driver. It seems like the plotter driver won't deviate from its defaults. When changing the plot driver settings, then it resets the plot dialog in AutoCAD creating a never ending loop. Do you know why AutoCAD and the driver won't communicate with each other?

 

Here I am setting up to print a D size sheet.

Opening the printer driver, it is set to the default (C size) instead of the D size I want.

So I switch it to D size as I need.

Now when it takes me back to the print dialog, it switches the print dialog to the print driver’s default sheet size. If I go back to the print driver dialog, it is back to C as well.
