Hi,

Boy it's been a while since I used Autocad.
Can someone please tell me how to:

Turn the Fill Modes ON
Set the Hide Objects option to OFF
Set the Hide Plot option to ON

This stuff is so basic my manual doesn't even cover it.

Thanks

Ernie

Turn the Fill Modes ON
Type in FILLMODE into the command prompt

Set the Hide Objects option to OFF
Can you explain this one a bit more

Set the Hide Plot option to ON
This will ba a setting associated with a viewport .. select viewport, right click and set the HIDE PLOT to ON ,, you also does this in the properties window

Hi,

I'm now sure how to explain this. I have Adobe Acrobat PRO and when I try to plot to PDF while in AutoCAD, Adobe gives me a message saying that I need to change my HIDE OBJECTS setting to OFF. I think it's OFF.
I'm at work right now so I only have access to 2D AutoCad LT 2005.

I am running R2006 and Adobe PRO at home where I'm having the problem.

Thanks again. Guys like you that help out are great and appreciated.

Ernie,

I just issued a hide command before I plotted to PDF and I got a similar error. I just did a regen and it then worked.
