autocad occluded edges off and still printed

dva — Tue, 10 May 2022 17:46:45 GMT

Hi all,

I previously serched for a solution but it seems to me I'm the only one with this problem.

In the previous realieses I was used to print 3d views (on pdf) with occluded edges off in hidden line style with, in order to have a printed pdf with vector lilnes.

Is with Autocad 2023 it not possible anymore? Is this possibility dismissed?

Please see the attached image with the variables I'm using (as in autocad 2022 where this configuration was wotking)

Bye

Please tell us which PDF output driver you are using and show us the Plot command dialog (page setup) settings you use when the plots do not come out the way you expect.

I tried:

Autocad Pdf (High Quality print) , the one I use regularly

Adobe pdf , I don't use this because it doesn't work with vectors

DWG to Pdf

All of them print not as vectors and without occluding hidden lines even if I toggled Occluded Edges Off

When you upgraded to 2023, did you migrate anything from a previous release?

Regarding "AutoCAD PDF (High Quality print)", can you confirm that the PC3 being used (as well as other support files) is(are) the one(s) that came with the 2023 version?

Do you still have access to the PC3 file from the previous version, to test using that one in the new release?

What do the Plot command settings look like in this area?:

Can you post a DWG file?

I don't have 2023 running (yet), so I can't try to replicate your issue, but maybe someone else will see something.

Thank you, of course I can:

only the ctb file is not allowed to attach, but it is a usual one
