Problem solved? Perhaps it was a bad drawing file to begin with, or you've already changed a setting that fixed it so now they can't reproduce the poor quality plots?Ĭurrently he and our CAD mgr are wanting to know where the 150/300 dpi issue coming from. The manager that brought up the issue has yet to give me an example a dwg that actually has an issue.

Setup my system with a brand new install of both INDSP 14 the plotter in question and found the same issue 150 dpi > if I want it to do 300 change the quality to presentationīut why is the default now different from older installs? Other printers normal = 300 and doesn't change when going to presentation.

Really from 150/300 I woudn't think that is the only issue but Until I can prove it otherwise the only known difference is the dpi setting.Īnd this from another system (probably similar age - think the print driver might be only difference) Net effect is printing is coming out with jagged lines instead of smoothed curves apparently. While newer installs are showing 300 dpi using the exact same driver. Users with older installs (although service packed to current) are showing default 300 dpi. Have lots of setting in the driver but have an odd issue and not sure where the issue is tied just yet.

when you do this, are you also doing plot to scale or scale to fit? the only thing i can think of is that you are maybe doing a window with scale to fit and the lines are showing up because the line is getting scaled bigger, therefore visible.but when you do the proper plot scale, the lines become too small or faint for the actual scale.Have updated some printer drivers (over a year ago)

What is mind boggling is that it prints when you window around a portion but not when you window around the full layout. a screening of 0 and dither off will not print.Īs an experiment, try using the match properties on a green line that doesn't prints to a green line that prints and see if that works. confirm the color of those not printing and then go into plot style and check the settings. i noticed that red is producing two types of screening: gray for the perimeter wall hatching and black for the regular lines. are those objects using the same yellow? it's difficult to tell the difference between yellow 51 and yellow 50 on the screen but those two might have different screening percentage on your plot style/ctb. for example, 'finished floor' is yellow but appears gray when printed.above that is a yellow square that appears black when printed. I noticed on your image that a yellow line produces two types of screening. one thing to make sure that are similar are the colors. What i would do is check the properties on a line that doesn't print and compare it to the properties of a line of the same color that prints.

It's a royal pain in the ass and this would never happen in Vectorworks. Has anyone ever had this problem? It began to happen to us on the night that our Bid Set was due and I had to switch all model space objects to paper space, scale them and essentially duplicate all the information to paper space to plot. They all seem to just reference other forum's threads and state the obvious. I've searched numerous times on various Autocad help forums and cannot find any answers. I've attempted to open the pages in 2005 as well.

I began the above procedure at the bottom of the xref stack to ensure no loops. Text objects / blocks are on a visible and printable layer Xrefs are on a visible and printable layer Out of the 90+ sheets in our set, about 8 of them have the same issue title blocks, xrefs and text file objects appear in Paper space, but will not plot. I haven't posted in a while and I figured this would be the best place to ask the following:
