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

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.
