Surface does not plot on one PC

Ok we have 6 identical PC's all with the same drivers, same support paths, same plotter paths. Only one PC will not print surface contours. I can open the same file(s) on any other PC and the things print w/o issue. This one PC will not print the srf contours on only a few files. Most files there is no issue...

 

Any insight to this issue? Quite odd that it's only one machine messing up with a few files that another machine has no issue with.

Pretty sure it's a drawing and not a user setting but is "Level of Detail" off from the machine that won't plot the contours?

Excellent work there Jay. I have never purposely used that function and must have clicked it by accident unless C3D is turning it on automatically.

Perhaps this will replace "filedia=  " command.

Erm...two questions.
1. If it's a drawing setting, why was it only affecting one machine?

2. I thought it only affected display in the drawing and didn't change the plots at all?

Level of detail is not a drawing setting, to my knowledge. I ran into this same exact problem before. One user like using LOD and the other didn't.
