Organic Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Try printing it as a PDF and see if it still occurs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccowgill Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 possibly recover/audit the drawing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicolas Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 could it be page size? Always Check page preview prior to printing especially if you have a lot to print? You can be in layout and still printing as window, display ... You can start with window to set the printing boundary, center, page size and orientation, scale (check and uncheck scale to get an idea on what scale you should use) and if the preview is ok, then apply to layout. The next time, printing the layout will be ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccowgill Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I dont think it would be page side, the border is still printed to the right of the text. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Looks like a wipeout or the edge of the viewport. Is the text in model space and the border in paper space? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirltech Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Looks like a wipeout or the edge of the viewport. Is the text in model space and the border in paper space? +1 TFRAMES will show the border of the wipeout. Just to a REGEN after executing the command.

nonahvy Posted September 29, 2011 Author Share Posted September 29, 2011 Looks like a wipeout or the edge of the viewport. Is the text in model space and the border in paper space? The text and the borders are made both in model space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nonahvy Posted September 29, 2011 Author Share Posted September 29, 2011 (edited) could it be page size? Always Check page preview prior to printing especially if you have a lot to print?

The next time, printing the layout will be ok. Yes, Ive been checking the page preview always when I am about to print. It shows all ( drawing,text,borders).

nonahvy Posted September 29, 2011 Author Share Posted September 29, 2011 +1 TFRAMES will show the border of the wipeout. Just to a REGEN after executing the command. I tried encoding again the texts, i turned off the TFRAMES, still the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicolas Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Check your page setting in windows start|Device and Printer, select your printer and set default page to the page size you are going to print the drawing. Back to the dwg, see the page size in plot dialog box, prior to print preview and see if it is supported by your printer. As your drawing is in model space, no need to apply to layout. If it is still not working, there is but two solutions left. Try changing from printer to dwg to pdf and select the full-bleed paper size type and print or upload the drawing here.

Jeff H Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I do think this is how you had it set up or what was used to plot, and I deleted the other TitleBlocks to reduced the file from 2Mb to a little less than 200kB so it would upload. The paper size was 8.5x14 which I am not familiar with and I am not sure what papersize and scale you try yo use with a titleblock drawn at 7482 x 4631 in, but i do not think that anything to do with it. The pic from OP I can think of a couple things it could be. Do you have the drawing and layout used in the picture you posted? What paper size was used? Can you print the Pdf I uploaded? I uploaded reduced file and pdf Municipal Map Copy.dwg Municipal Map Copy-Layout1 (2).pdf Here is original file if anyone needs to download http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17374049/Municipal%20Map.dwg I will remove the above file in a day or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nonahvy Posted September 29, 2011 Author Share Posted September 29, 2011 I tried the LEGAL or 8.5 x 14(layout tab 1), still no good. In the model tab, It is scaled already that can fit to my paper size Long(8.5x13). Yes, I have the drawing and layout used in the picture I posted. I printed the pdf you uploaded, it shows all (text,drawing,border), but the problem is, the scale of my map is not correct. The drawing is bigger than the one in my layout tab mode you have seen. I do think this is how you had it set up or what was used to plot, and I deleted the other TitleBlocks to reduced the file from 2Mb to a little less than 200kB so it would upload. The paper size was 8.5x14 which I am not familiar with and I am not sure what papersize and scale you try yo use with a titleblock drawn at 7482 x 4631 in, but i do not think that anything to do with it.
