CADmep 2015 Plotted Lines Are Shown Incorrectly/Not At All

[mike]

When I try to plot using legacy hidden my lines are not plotting correctly... please see attached picture for example. These items are all one the same system so all the layer settings are the same. But I get different results on different items. Has anyone seen this issue before? How can I resolve? Thanks.

Hi Mike, This issue usually occurs if the model is too far away from the AutoCAD origin, and/or the model extents are huge; in both cases the Hide Plot can start to fail. This results in partial hidden line generation and for shaded modes, graphics corruption. If you ensure the model extents are reasonable in x,y,z, and if still an issue try moving the model to 0,0,0.

That did not fix it. I found this link which helped a little: http://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/Not-eno... AutoCAD seems to have issue hiding lines correctly when visual style is "2d wireframe". If any other visual style is selected the issue is "fixed" when plotting. Seems like a bug I wish Autodesk would address.
