Lines dissappearing after print

[p0nyface]

Hey everyone,

ive had a similar problem with autoCAD 2008 where my drawing comes out of the printer missing lines or bits of lines which are visible in the viewport before printing. ive attached a screen shot of the drawing and a scanned copy of what i get after printing, as you can see part of one of the lines is missing from the drawing. I'm using AutoCAD 2010

Perhaps it is a driver related problem.

 

Could you tell us what your plot settings are?

shade plot: as displayed

Quality: Maximum

Dpi: 600

 

when i go to plot preview it shows the lines in full also, but then, like before, when i print they dissappear.

I am having the same problem where it will just cut off text in the middle of it as well as just certain lines. I have made sure that they are not on a "No Plot" layer and I am making a PLT file same thing seems to happen when I make a PDF. The funny thing is that it doesnt happen all the time so its really hard to pin point the problem. Attached is what I am talking about for the text.

It could be a driver issue, a problem with your COM port or a cabling problem between the printer and your computer.

i dont think it is a driver related problem, i get the same result printing to different printers and printing from different computers using different versions of autoCAD

Perhaps a wipeout or solid hatch and draw order. Maybe try the TEXTTOFRONT command.

 

Can you post the drawing?

 

As for the original problem, see this similar thread, specifically post #31 by Cad64
