Plotting to PDF Problem

Anonymous — Sat, 18 Dec 2021 03:39:46 GMT

Hey Everyone,

I have a problem with plotting to PDF, If I plot only a part of the drawing it looks ok, but if I plot the whole drawing it looks like this:

Things I tried:

check that all lines Z axis value is 0

reset the UCS

Flatten the drawing

Print on different sizes of paper

moving the drawing to a new file

Any help would be much appreciated ^^

What PDF driver are you using and what are the DPI settings set to?

I'm printing your drawing here using AutoCAD 2022, using the stock built-in PDF driver (AutoCAD PDF smallest file) which is set to 400 dpi - and I am not seeing any issues..

If I change the DPI to 150 - I do start to see some very minor graphical misalignments, but you have to keep zooming in to see them.

@Anonymous Fix this one file: Copy/paste the content you want to keep to a new empty/template file where all printing issues are non-existent, SAVEAS and test.
