Certain Layer/s won't plot...??

Hello Everyone,

 

When I plot my drawing two layers do not plot. The layers are turned on and I can see the objects on the layer when in paperspace, but when I send it to the plotter two layers will not plot. When I do a plot preview I cannot see the objects on the layer. The plot preview looks exactly like the final product so it is an AutoCAD issue, not some funky plotter issue. 

 

I cannot figure out why these two specific layers won't plot. The objects on the layer/s are blocks. I have attempted to move the blocks to different layers, but they still do not show up in plot preview. 

 

The layer/s that the block/s are on are turned on, not frozen, and not locked. 

 

 

This is some type of layer problem, I am assuming, due to the fact that I drew some random lines on the same layer as the block and the line does not show up either. 

 

Is there a layer setting somewhere that does not allow it to print? 

 

Thanks,

Nicholas

What color are the layers assigned?

 

Are the layers set to no plot?

 

Post a sample of the drawing or we will spend the morning making guesses.

If something I wrote can be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, I meant the other one.

Well I feel like a newbie Smiley Embarassed

 

I've been hunting for the issue since I posted, and as I was looking at layer settings there is a Plot On/Off type selection. And guess what...the two layers that won't plot were set to don't plot. haha

 

Well, I guess I won't be making this mistake again. 

 

Thanks for the input GrantsPirate

 

 

Thanks,

Nicholas

Post a screenshot of your expanded LAYER command pop-up from inside the layout/tab you are ploting from, let's all have a look. Identify which of those layers is not plotting for you.
Or better yet, post the DWG file.
