plot hidden viewports in 2011

I'm having difficulties to plot hidden views properly in Autocad mep 2011. Hidden piping is not plotting correctly. I'm using hidden legacy hidden option, hideprecision is set to 1 but still hidden line don't plot 100% correct. Same drawing plotted from

2010 plots is perfect.

Are you using the default MEP template file, "AecB Model (US Imperial Ctb).dwt?"  Also, our MEP displays are meant to be used with the 2D Wireframe visual style.  In Plan view, you will get hidden lines generated where objects cross under other objects.

We plot from a isometric view, and I'm having the same issues.  Many pipe edges are hidden, and it also ignores the .CTB file settings for color and so forth with MEP 2011.

I'm having this issue too, since today... set the variable HIDEPRECISION to 1, and the variable INTERSECTIONDISPLAY to ON.  Problem resolved.
