Hidden Lines in Blocks


Recommended Posts

Posted

I am using AutoCAD Plant 3D 2012 and working with the P&ID portion of the software. I created a block (to represent insulation with electric heat tracing) with multiple lines using multiple settings. All of the lines are on layer 0, the line weight is set to by layer. All of the lines have a linetype of by layer except one line which I need to be hidden. This block appears correctly on my screen, but when I print, the hidden line prints continuous.

 

 

Thanks to anyone who can help me.

 

My brain is exhausted and I think this is just a setting somewhere I can not seem to locate.

It sounds like a scaling issue.

 

Make sure these settings are as follows:

LTSCALE = 1

PSLTSCALE = 1

MSLTSCALE = 1

 

Now, check the scale of your Viewport that you're plotting from. Set your Annotative Scaling in the bottom right in your drawing bar to match the Viewport scale.

I have gone through and double checked these settings. They are all set to 1.

 

Also, the viewport scale and annotative scaling are both 1:1 as this is a P&ID.
