Shade plot - hidden - problem

[Guinnessman]

Hi all

I have developed a problem which has me stumped. I have done a drawing of some storage racking, which on my layout I have displayed in 3 viewports. One is a plan view (shade plot - as displayed), one the front elevation (shade plot - as displayed) and the other is in a perspective view (shade plot - hidden).

Most of the work I do we plot in this way and I have never had any problem. For some reason, when I try to print this one off, the plan and front elevations print fine, but the perspective view is blank. If i preview before plotting it shows up fine, and just to make it even more odd, if i print it as a PDF, it all comes out fine! WHY??!

Any ideas what I'm missing??

I moved this to the AutoCAD Drawing Management & Output forum.

 

Sounds like a printer setup issue. Can you post the drawing or some screen shots?

I then saved the drawing as -02, reconfigured the storage bays in the drawing, went to plot, and for some reason it won't do the hidden perspective view. DWG attached.

When I tried to Print Preview it, I got the following feedback at the commandline .....Command: _preview The selected layout has an invalid hardcopy configuration.

Plots fine here, print preview...

Yeah, it shows up on my plot preview too, it just doesnt plot when it actually gets sent to the printer for some reason.

I have copied everything into a new drawing. All seems to be printing ok on this one, although I don't see why it wouldn't before. It's the same template drawing!

It plotted fine to an HP T770. But it sounds like you got is fixed, probably has to do with saving down to 2002.
