Printing Partially Shaded, Partially Wireframe Inventor 2009

[RiPAT]

I'm busy trying to print some drawings, but they consistently print like shown in the attachment. How do I fix this? I'm using Inventor 2009, BTW.

Is it doing that when printing to pdf or on actual paper?

[RiPAT]

Paper and print preview, in any case.

And now it's not doing it. How strange.

Strange indeed.
Did you do anything specific, restart inventor, reboot your pc?

I'm guessing it might have been some memory issue with either Inventor or even the printer.

If it had been with pdf's then it might just have been the settings, i use custom settings for pdf's which have all image downsampling disabled because otherwise they look kinda like the image you posted.

Hope your problem doesn't come back. 😉

Could be the RAM. I only have 2GB.

Thanks for the curiosity.

Hi RiPAT,

Is this assembly of a really long assembly by chance? I seem to recall some past issues with assemblies that were proportionally very long, and display problems.

I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,
Curtis
