I'm using AC 2011LT on a PC
Every time I print to PDF or printer a line appears which is not visible on the model or paper space. It is even not visible when I preview the print before printing (again from model or paper). And on different layouts the line moves and sometimes doubles.
I have done all the regular things - all layers on, all unfrozen, all visible, etc, I've purged, regened, made a save as file, gone to another persons computer but still the same problem.
I did have this problem before on another file 2 years ago and fixed it but cannot remember how and have search the web to find the same solution.
I need to issue this drawing today and would really appreciate any help to fix this.
Thank you

Everything seems fine but when you switch between a few of the Flyout Options the panel size (which is scaled due to the arc) sometimes plays up.

Try open the block; select "Hinged w_0 SIDELIGHT" say 780 and than a 880
this should work without any issues and look correct...

now select say the "Pivot w_1 SIDELIGHT" 1330 for example.

if you go back and select "Hinged w_0 SIDELIGHT" 780 or 880 or 980
you will see that the door leaf/arc now won't look right. and as you select a another size it will just mess up more..


Any ideas how i can fix this or what i did wrong....?

I'd still consider myself a novice at Autocad, but I've been using it since 2008....just for residential floor plans. Layout management has never really been a problem for me. I do not know what's going on today. Apparently it's not a common problem either. I'm hoping I'm just having a brain freeze kind of day.
When I change the scale of my floor plan in the layout from 1/8"=1'0" to 3/32"=1'0", my doors "close." It's so strange. The swings disappear and all the doors, and cased openings are closed.
I changed my Ltscale to 1, thinking that was the problem, but no.
When I change the scale back to something larger, they come back!
I have NO clue why this is happening.
Thanks for any help. ]]> Malgibbs http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/showthread.php?79543-Doorways-Openings-Close-when-Scale-Changes Mysterious flatshot plotting shenanigans http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/showthread.php?79530-Mysterious-flatshot-plotting-shenanigans&goto=newpost Wed, 22 May 2013 21:22:18 GMT Hello all: See the attached pdf for reference...

See the attached pdf for reference... I work with 2D line drawings and add 3D elements as required to verify clearances, calculate center of gravity, etc. Most 3D objects are Primitives, Extrusion or Revolutions with a few Lofts and Sweeps for funky parts. Once I'm ready to produce a pdf/paper drawing, I Flatshot all the 3D stuff and add title, dimensions, etc. Everything on the attached pdf is colored white via ByLayer coloring; Linetypes are exclusively ByLayer as well. All Thickness and Widths are 0 and Lineweights are all the same via ByLayer.

Now for the shenanigans... I use the None Plotstyle and have noticed that all lines generated from the Flatshot have a very thin crisp look to them that I can match by choosing Lineweight = 0.00mm BUT changing the Lineweight of the lines that resulted from the Flatshot does not make them any heavier. Any idea why this is?

Thank y'all.

So I want to print a view of the joints of this chair. I need a section to show through the cut (plane X, 300 units of height).

I go to Layout, have a mview, and on the layout I try to use the section (I tryied that button really), but it filters what I choose.

Why does it filter the view? :(

I've got a problem with the ACAD and a Drawingboard VI. I can not digitize with the board. It only works as mouse and no 1:1 digitizing is possible. I found, that the wintab 7.46 driver should work or is there something newer out? I'm running Windows 7 with ACad LT 2009 and the digitizer via USB. Vtablet is not working. Not possible to install ( Error 8).

Does somebody had this problem and how had you solved it? ]]> skydive http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/showthread.php?79440-ACAD-LT-2009-Drawingboard-VI-interface
