I have a basic drawing template file that I have created with block attrubutes that I use for all our company drawings.

 

I have found that if I produce a basic 2D drawing and then print to PDF, the resultant PDF is fine and the borders appear ok. My problem is when I print to PDF with a 3D drawing in anything like 'realistic', 'conceptual', etc, the resultant PDF has at least 1 missing border line even if I just 'fit to page'.

 

I have attached a test dwg and resultant 'conceptual' plotted pdf.

 

Can anyone please help?

hi,

 

i tried to PDF it and managed fine. i used the window rather than fit to page. maybe its the PDF program you have.

Hi StevenMc

 

I tried it with 'window' as you suggested and you are right - it worked, don't know why it won't work with 'extents'?

 

I am using the standard AutoCAD PDF writer but I will try it again with another writer - does anyone recommend a free download version - i.e. CutePDF, etc?

 

Anyway - thanks again for your help but if anyone else can throw any light on the original problem I would still be interested to learn more.

I've came across this problem a few times but never actually took it any further as window seems to work so i just use that most of the time. would be interesting to hear other views :)

 

try DoPDF.com i've heard thats not bad.
