Printing Autosketch V6 horizontal polylines with officejet

When I try to print a drawing with polylines on my Officejet 635 printer. There is either no fill in the horizontal lines or the lines are missing altogether. The drawing looks fine on the screen and the vertical polylines are filled as expected. Does anyone have any ideas?

Update print drivers. Are you using AS 6.01? Brumby wrote: > When I try to print a drawing with polylines on my Officejet 635 printer.

get the patch and upgrade to 6.01 and see if that helps. Brumby wrote: > No Len, I am using Autosketch 6.0.

I have installed the 6.01 patch but the printing problem is still persisting. Any other ideas, Len.

You could try upping your line thickness: the printer may not be able to print "hairline" on one vertices.

After more investigation I have discovered that the lines that will not print are all horizontal polylines (in the direction that the printer carriage moves). The outline of the horizontal polyline is printed with very fine lines but there is no fill. The same happens with arrow heads on horizontal dimensions. Fine lines up to about 0.5mm real width are not a problem, but I am trying to print the walls of a house at 100mm thickness at a scale of 1:100. The problem only presents itself above real line thicknesses of about 0.5mm.
