V5 R17-8 some lines on drawing not plotting

V5 R17-8 some lines on drawing not plotting

(OP)
Hello,

I have some drawings in Catia V5 that look fine in CAD.  When I plot them, some of the lines do not show.  Has anyone else seen this behavior?  Do you know how to fix it?  I hope that it is just a setting.

Thanks,
Sheryl

RE: V5 R17-8 some lines on drawing not plotting

Sheryl,
      When you refer to Cad is that 2D or 3D?  There are settings when creating a 2d drawing.  Check the property page of the view -- View Generation Mode.  Set it to Exact.
In 3d - you will be missing lines if the surfaces are federated.  To check if they are, move select in the area that is not appearing in the plot.  If a large amount of surface patches highlight you have federated data.

Save the file as .pdf and see if the lines are there.
