Problem with plot two, overlapping viewports

robert_chmielewskiUMURG — Mon, 25 Sep 2023 10:49:30 GMT

Hello everyone, I got a problem.
I need to cover a viewport 1 (all plan) with another viewport 2 (detail-circle viewport)
I used region and two viewports.
In plot preview it looks good
In plot is not OK
Why?

AutoCAD viewports don't work like that, never have. Sorry.

But you can fudge it occasionally if you turn off / uncheck PLOT PAPERSPACE LAST in your PLOT dialog box pop-up.

AutoCAD viewports work like that, only circles not working with viewports well. All you need to do is replace the wheel with a poligon and it works. Why print preview work but the print dosen't?

check/uncheck PLOT PAPERSPACE LAST of course don't work.

Maybe the problem is in the printer drivers.

Thank you for your tip

@robert_chmielewskiUMURG ,

In your case, you may want to VPCLIP the viewport (see highlight below) around the circular viewport - created by using MVIEW - Object.
