hide for plotting not using pen tables

Hey guys,

I 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 oject dwg file and tried plotting it straight from the sorce 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 - no luck, I hope someone on here may know how to make these work!

Thanks,

Matt

I am test driving 2011 for a likely upgrade in the near future.

Apparently I am having the same issue as MattHamby. I have trolled around, and I am also coming up empty-handed. With 2008, I am not having the issue with the 'hidden viewport'. It would be quite disappointing if there is not a fix for this, as printing things with correct line weights is important.

I have a temporary fix to the "hollow" arrow heads when using the legacy hide feature. you can create you own user arrow head with lines to fill it in in leau of hatching or a pline. This works for the short term, but we need a fix for using the new hide features!
