printing glitch ACAD2000

printing glitch ACAD2000

(OP)
When printing a complex layout from paperspace, I tend to lose lines at random.  I have my DISPILH varible set to 1 and hideplot selected such that I only print outlines.  This tends to print most, but may leave out some lines mainly cylinders viewed on edge.  This problem is independent of the print driver.  The strange thing is, if I move the object or change the print scale or change the viewres/facetres varibles, lines that were not printed now are while ones that were printed are no longer.  It is very frustrating.  Is this a known glitch and is there a patch??  

RE: printing glitch ACAD2000

I have had this problem with ACAD r14 & 2000 and have never found a solution. What I have found is that the 'Rendered Object Smoothness' (FACETRES variable) setting in Preferences\performance can change which lines are shown or not shown without changing the current view.
Nevertheless this is still not a solution! Sorry.

RE: printing glitch ACAD2000

Upon re-reading your thread i've realised that you know about the facetres variable thus making my reply even more useless to you!
Aren't these forums great!!

RE: printing glitch ACAD2000

This happened to us on large 3D plots. What type of plotter are you using? This may be a memory problem. Our HP DesignJet has an advanced option so that you can process the Document ...In Computer rather than ...In Printer. This just processes the print inside the computer rather than using the plotter memory. This fixed all of our problems. This sounds like the same situation since the plots are inconsistant.

Hope this helps!
