View 5 RepliesI am experiencing a problem with plotting a 3-D object correctly! Using AutoCAD 2011, I created a 3-D object, inserted it into our "carrier sheet" model space, then gave it a view port - looks great on the screen! When it plotted out it was really light - it was the only thing on the sheet that was wrong. I messed around a little and found that it has something to do with the plot option of "3-D hidden" & "hidden". When using "legacy hidden" it plots out at the correct line weights, however, the arrows are all "open" - the arrows are filled when using the other options. I went back into the 3-D object dwg file and tried plotting it straight from the source file - I get the same results. We use color to determine the plotted line thickness and these schemes are set correctly, etc.
I have tried to look for a setting that would force the plot styles .
I brought a normal 4 sided viewport into my layout, but needed to clip and make a viewport with 6 sides. I have also tried to redraw this by using a polygonal viewport. When I go to plot the page, parts or all of the viewport boundaries are on. It doesn't matter if I go to layer control and turn the layer off or freeze or select the non-plotting icon.

first i choose the lne command and choose my "beginning point" as that starting point for my line then i type 113<N 5d W for the length and direction and hit enter. when i do this it plots a vertical line of the proper length but wrong angle. what am i doing wrong? i have ortho set to off and idk what else to mess with
Using Autocad 2000LT with Windows XP and would like to make some lines in the drawing wider and or bolder. how to make certain lines wider so they would stand out from the rest of the drawing.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am using Autocad 2000. When I view a 3D object from, say, a top view, I would like lines that would normally be hidden to appear as a dashed lines rather than simply disappearing. Otherwise, it's not possible to use a 3D model to produce a standard shop drawing. Without hidden lines appearing properly (not as solid but as dashed!) there is too much detail that cannot be seen. I have tried playing with many different settings and variables to no avail.

When I draw porches with railings, I often spend many minutes trimming out the objects behind the railing. So if my metal top rail is 1" thick (running horiz) and my vertical rails are 1" wide, 5" on center, I have to trim out all the lines inside those 1" rails.
I received an Autocad file from another designer not too long ago that had some sort of clear fill inside his rails, so the rails hid what was behind it (but it was not colored fill, black or white, or whatever... it matched the background color). If I erased the rail, the window behind it was there in it's entirety.
I tried to 'erase' the fill, but it does not seem to be there. I am so tired of spending 20-30 minutes per house just trimming out the doors and windows behind.
I am using acad2010, with medium expertise. I want to hide some part of lines so as to indicate the part is behind some object. I don't want to break the line as I need to create separate sketches for the same, or needs to list for the properties.
Refer attached drawing, fig 1 shows the actual model and fig 2 shows how I required when i print it.
Why does my new lines all show their vertices, even if they arent selected? I dont want the vertices to show when the lines isnt selected.

I'm working with floor plans from another company, the drawing contains xref for the floor plans and other blocks. I need to label some of our equipment. I'm simply using a DTEXT label inside a rectangle as a block with the text as an atribute.
I'd like to place the label on the floor plan and have it hide anything underneath. I do this with 3D blocks for other work, but I'm looking for a quick and dirty solution.
I created a linetype using text shape. Let’s say, that my line is only AAAAAA. Now when I apply this linetype in the drawing, the lines always have a small, line before and after the characters. Actually you see this: -AAAA- . How can I delete or hide the start and end lines.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there any way to hide construction lines in Part & Assembly sketches in the same way you can in a Drawing sketch?
I know you can change the line colour to the background colour but this makes the lines invisible in sketch as well.
Not being able to hide the construction is making some layouts pretty pointless since relevant detail is obscured by the construction lines. Grounding the geommetry and deleting the construcion lines isn't an option since the sketches are part of the design development and not fixed.

The problem I have encountered is that when the pdf is created, it has some of the lines in grey which they werent in AutoCad whatsoever. When I zoom into the lines on the pdf, these lines turn black as should be and appear normal. why this is happening and how I can create a PDF where the lines will stay black.

I'm opening a drawing created in AutoCAD 2008, which is plotting hidden arcs as solid lines. Straight hidden lines are dashed as normal. I've attached both the paperspace view and the plot preview to show what I mean. The outer radius is showing as dashed in paperspace view, but appears as a solid line when plotted. The straight line leading to it is dashed in both views.
View 4 Replies View RelatedIn hiden lines configuration, when I am plotting my drawing, the tangent lines of 3D cylinders (this is a pipes drawing) are missing. I have tried many options to solve that problem: paper plot , pdf plot, high pdf resolution plot, small size drawing plot, changed the thickness of the lines, change the color of the lines, plot with other computers... I did not find any solution and I have to send my drawings to a customer. In any configurations, the lines appears but others disappears. Even in the preview plot, lines are missing.

Why does it do that? And how do I change it to all black lines?
I have a drawing that has xref's that some of the xref do not plot.
Import the xref it will not plot.
Insert the xref and explosed it and it will not plot.
I have check the layers that everything is on and they are set right to plot.
Never ran into these problem before working 20 years this Autodesk.
We recently got a couple new computers and now any gray line or gray hatch plots out pixilated. Even when I make a PDF the anything gray comes out pixilated. The old machines in the office plot fine, I just have not been able to find a setting to change on the new computers.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am using autocad 2013 on Mac and plotting to hp designjet 510. Lines are always missing when I print especially medium to thin lines or hidden lines or for example hatch tile lines. I use the plotter also on a pc and there are no problems at all. I changed the thickness of my lines in ctb and still have lines missing. I change percision to 1 and same thing. If I print draft, normal or best I still have problems. I know how to spool and use in built memory on pc but can not find something similar on the mac and dont know if that will work, as i printed same drawings from pc. It seems that when there are close lines together or dense lines in an area, it just skips them.

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen I plot directly to a plotter or to a PDF file from paper space, some of the 3d pipe model will fade out along the pipe line. It happens to some of the lines, not all. I have re-drawn the pipes and drawn them using different UCS orientations. No change. I changed the layer color, changed the tessellation, line weight. Can this problem be related to the display driver, either software or video card? I have the latest drivers. ACAD ver. 11, nvidia quatro fx-3800 card.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am finding that my DWF files sent to the plotter are plotting with the linework being heavier than the same file sent directly to our plotter. These are just lines that should plot with a narrow width (ie walls on a floor plan) but they seem to be about twice the width and hence look "darker". Is there a setting that I am missing or some other way to get the lines to plot out thinner? Also, TTF fonts plot thicker in DWF. I've tried the various options in the DWF viewer when sending to the plotter, but none seem to work.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a client who updated to AutoCAD Arch 2014 and now is having trouble with his grey lines printing pixilated.
He is using the same .ctb file from 2013 (moved up from 2012) also his pc3 file (from 2012). When he moved to 2013 he had this issue and went back to his 2012 pc3 and everything was working fine again.
So when he had the issue in 2014 he started using the 2012 pc3 file. But this time - no change.
