Hello all,

I'm currently having issues with my drawings when I insert break lines in my model. For some reason the sketches and hatch marks that I inserted near the break line gets transferred onto a different area of the drawing. In this drawing it shifts to the upper right hand corner. In solidworks the extra sketches and hatch mark doesn't appear on my screen. It's only shown when I print to PDF, save to PDF, or print the drawing. I already tried to rebuild using ctrl Q. Any tips?

Are you using an approved graphics card? (nVIdia Quadro or FX, or ATI FireGL or FirePro)
 
Yes I have a ATI FirePro V5800 video card.
 
I've run into similar issues. It seems to be a bug in solidworks. It appears that what ever routines Solidworks uses to transpose the drawing view does not include equal translation to hatch marks, or to the PDF.
