HI,

Customer tries to plot a layout and get extra lines that are not drawn by the user.

See the image attached.

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

I don't see any layout you have prepared to be printed and showing that effect.
You also uploaded 2 drawings, but both dwg-files don't show the content you have shown in the screenshot.

Please also start command _ABOUT and send us a screenshot from that dialog so we see what version and update you have installed

Hi,

Now there exits 4 drawings, I don't want to open now all files and search for your issue.

Please describe what I have to do to see your issue.

Have attached a small video of the steap to repet.

Open the file PLANKART_500.dwg.

Plot the layout PlanKart (using DWG to PDF-pc3).

Then you will find line draws diagonaly in the priview and plot.

See the video.

Hi,

thank you for the details!

Open the file "T_ZTEMA_alt_AK.dwg" ... there you'll find a really long line ... delete that line and you'll have a clean plot.

I don't have a good explanation why it does that, but high coordinates are critical, especially when you have them in one line object.

Hi,

>> How do you find this line?

Open your drawing "T_ZTEMA_alt_AK.dwg",

Run command _AUDIT (3 errors found), then _REGEN, _ZOOM _EXTENTS ... here it is 😉
