Hello,

Change the line type to thin lines before printing and try print. If it cannot solve, could you try like this way of the attached link? I hope it helps you.

find the Line Style of the grey line and use the VG(Visibility/Graphic Overrides...) to hide that in view :

or you can use the filter to hide that.

Why don't you just uncheck the <Hidden Lines> Subcategory under whatever Category that Hidden Line is coming from?

dear eizinmyat!
thank you
I was told to keep the thickness of that line the same, I tried your way but it didn't work.

Dear azad.Nanva
Thanks for replying me
This grey line is not the line that i created. it is also not the hidden line of any detail objects.
When we create a detail line in revit it is always there, under the line that we created.
if i choose"NO" or "BY DISCIPLINE" it will not appear when printing,
but i have to choose "ALL" to show other details, that why its also appear when printing.

Dear barthbradley
The hidden line also there under the detail line that we created.It is not a separate line that is created.

It's NOT coming from a <Hidden Line> category? I thought you determined it was. What category does it identify with? Select it and look at its properties to find out.

Just to clarify > when you write Detail Line that means you are using the Detail Line tool on the Annotation Tab and choosing a Linestyle from the list?

not you @barthbradley 😞

Dear SteveKStafford
its true, lets try to creat a detail line with color, select Show Hidden lines->"ALL" in Properties tab,
you will see the grey line appear when print it to pdf.

Does this only happen in this project file or any file? Can you create a copy of this file and share it here so we can see if it happens when we open and print your file?

I don't have Revit 2019 installed anymore, closest I could do is 2020. When I print to PDF using my Bluebeam driver it looks like it does in the model view. Do you have another option for printing to PDF? A different driver to try?

Revit is WYSIWYG, so that linework must be present - and selectable - in the view. Use the TAB Key to select the linework (e.g. Tab-Selection Cycling). Also, make sure no selection restrictions are activated, such as "Select Pinned Elements" being unchecked.

If the linework isn't there in the View, then the issue is not with Revit.

do you check the print options? it is not very relevant in this case but for assurance.
