Section View Group Style not plotting Grid as displayed?

Hello,

Have a very basic Corridor with a Section View Group, with ALL Section Views same style

and Layouts set for plotting.  In Civ3D (still R2012), the Section Views have no overides,

all same style in group, and the Grid (as desired) all displays correct within each Viewport

for all Layouts.  YET, when we go and plot (either to plotter or PDF), some of the GRID lines

within the Section Views are not plotting correct per the Style and Display graphics.

 

I've looked at the Viewports or the problem section views.... don't see anything ?... since

random on same sheet.... for the X.03 example attached.... 3 of 6 are correct and other 3 plot incorrect.

I've attached a Screen shot direct from the Layout that shows Display is correct with style & etc.

 

Any thoughts regarding why plotting options are producing random problems with just the GRID

for the Section Views with each in it's own viewport..... and see nothing different between the

Section View properties for those that plot Grid incorrect vs. all the others.

 

Thank you, in advance.

Jay,

 

Attachments were orig. included for ref.'s.

Drawing file too ++, +etc.

 

At this point, is-what-it-is since going out for letting tomorrow.

 

Also didn't prev. mention, tried on another couple workstations

just to test.... and had same results.

 

Thanks,

I seen the images but without a file it's anyone's guess as to what may be happening. Very strange that some print properly & some don't. Has this happened in other files or does it seem to be file specific? We use dot linetypes and they can get flaky at times but normally what we see on screen is what can be expected when printing.

 

Have you tried using another linetype such as Hidden2 etc. to see if the random linetype pattern problem also occurs with an alternate linetype applied?

I assume that the issue is the dotted linetype that you are using for your grid lines.  We have had similar problems with dotted linetypes on profile views.   Since this drawing contains a single viewport, try setting LTSCALE to 50 and PSLTSCALE to 0.
