Moved Section Views Create Lines in Plot

bforr — Fri, 11 Sep 2015 13:55:36 GMT

I moved some section views to change the arrangement and now when I plot, I get lines from the corridor assemble edges to a point in the the viewport. They appear in plot preview also. Anything I can do to fix/avoid this? Attached are images of paper space and plot preview.

oh and while waiting I deleted the section views and recreated them arranging them through the group plot options. i.e. array and plot area. I still have the lines. attached.

They look light blue, do they happen to be on a plot layer that you can turn off?

wish it were that easy. Can only see them when plotting. Can't pick them. We looked at layer colors.

If any subassemblies used have zero thicknessess, try changing any zero's to 0.0001 and see if that helps?

Dang, thought you were on to something. I remember other posts about subassembly thicknesses. But alas, it did not fix it.

well, somehow it fixed itself. I had tuned of the pivot points in one of my assemblies and rebuilt all corridors and surfaces. I then went back and turned pivot points back on and it is still good.
