Help!!! 3d Plotting With 2d Lines

[CBRAMLETT]

i have attached a xref base file and drawn a footbal field. Then I converted the field to 3D with a 1" thickness. I added a grass like material and field lines. Now I want to plot to presentation viewportand I want the xref base to show up using my created pen style, but it won't. I can get the field to plot preview, but the 2d lines won't show up behind?!?

There is no attached file.

Sorry I'm new to this. Been doing CAD for a while and reading the posts for help, but just joined cause I can't figure this one out.

Well welcome to the forum! Glad to see a new member.

 

Let me take a look at your drawing and I will see what I can do.

Here try reading this and see if this helps you:

 

Unreconciled layers are new layers that have been added to the drawing and have not yet been acknowledged by the user and manually marked as reconciled.

 

Reconciling new layers is the process of manually reviewing new layers so that you can avoid potential errors before plotting your drawing or when restoring a layer state.

 

Unreconciled layers are new layers that have been added to the drawing or to attached xrefs since the layer list was last evaluated. The layer list is checked for new layers when a command, such as PLOT is used. In new drawings, the layer baseline is created when the drawing is saved or plotted for the first time. When a new drawing is first saved, the layer baseline is created, and all layers present in the saved drawing are considered reconciled (not new). Layers that are added after a drawing is first saved are considered new unreconciled layers.

 

NoteThe layer baseline is created when the LAYEREVAL system variable is set to 1 or 2.

When a command that is set in the Layer Settings dialog box or LAYEREVAL system variable is used, the layer list is checked at that time and compared to the baseline. If there are new layers, notification will display and the Unreconciled New Layers filter is automatically created and activated in the Layer Properties Manager.

 

Unreconciled layers become reconciled by right-clicking the layer and clicking the Reconcile Layer option. Once a layer has become reconciled, it is removed from the Unreconciled New Layers filter. After all new layers are reconciled, the Unreconciled New Layers filter is removed.

 

Note-You can reconcile multiple unreconciled layers at the same time.

 

Also:

Commands

 

LAYER

Manages layers and layer properties

 

System Variable

 

LAYERNOTIFY

Specifies when an alert displays when unreconciled new layers are found

 

LAYEREVAL

Specifies whether the layer list is evaluated for new layers when added to the drawing or to attached xrefs

Well thats what happened on my computer. Not all the layers showed up on the drawing.

I reconciled the layers when I brought the xref into the drawing. I can't even get dim. lines to show up when i plot preview. I can get the lines to shw up when i change shade plot to "as displayed", but when i change it to presentation it only shows the 3d field.
