grooby Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 I have inserted 200+ survey points into a drawing. The points appear as they should in paper space, and they appear in the plot preview screen; however, they do not plot. Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions.

grooby Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 Try to change the PDMODE and the PDSIZE system variables.Welcome to the forum, Grooby! I have tried adjusting both PMODE and PDSIZE to no avail. I am not an avid Cad user, just trying to scrape by. I am wondering if there could be an issue with how I inserted the points into the drawing. I am using Map3D 2010, which has survey tab allowing for the insertion of an ASCII file. Seems simple enough, but apparently not for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen Smith Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Could you have inserted them on a layer that is set not to plot? Or on the defpoints layer? I don't remember if layers set not to plot appear in the preview or not. Could they be a 'bad' color - one that your plotter plots in so faint a color as to be invisible?

Glen Thanks for the suggestion, but the points are on a layer set to plot and I am using colors which are already used in the dwg (which I know plot).
