ghost images when plotting

ghost images when plotting

ghost images when plotting

(OP)
My problem is sometimes when I plot a ghost image of the building or parts of the building show up on the plot but not on the preview. I have redone the viewports, it would be better but still there when I plot.

Has anyone ran across this before??? If you have how did you solve it.

Thanks

3D?

RE: ghost images when plotting

I remember back in the year 2000 when I was using ACAD 2000, stray lines would appear when plotting.  We would call these to be ghosts and the way we solve the problem was not to leave the drawing alone while it was being plotted.  After plotting was done then we could modify the drawing.

RE: ghost images when plotting

One more thing that should be mentioned is that the plotter was networked to about 15 other computers and because of inadequate memory in the plotter we informed other users to hold off on queing until the drawing was finished.  Problem seemed to have been solved.
