To feed another software I need to convert dwg to pcx. During plot after conversion some lines of a drawing missed which conversion to pdf kepp all parts. So it seems it is just cause of converting to pcx. And in preview all part are there in place. 

Is there any solution out there ?

From the menu select Tools -> Wizards -> Add Plotter…

Select My Computer and Next

Select Raster File Formats and Zsoft PC Paintbrush PCX… continue with Next.

Continue with Next.

Select Plot To File, continue with Next

Define a name for the plotter AutroMaster.pc3 and continue with Next.Select “Finish”

When the drawing is ready to be converted select from the menu. Files -> Plot

To change the size of the plotted drawing select Properties

Verify that 256 (8 bits color) are defined under Vector Graphics.
Resolutions earlier defined are shown under Custom Paper Sizes. Select on of these or use Add to define a new resolution. I set it W:1680 H:1050

It seems perfect. the capture was just to show what is the issue. I normally should make a window over yellow rectangle (attached) and paper size 1680x1050. May I know how did you fix it? There are several pages I should go through.

higher rsolution, less lines miss. Please do the plot to pcx over the whole yellow rectangle in paper size like W:1680 H:1050. 

I attached the plotter file.

What would be the problem then?

in general ... AutoCAD is not the proper software for create images !! you have to expect pixilation and more !!

I accept to loose the resolution quality but at my case it is selective and nothing happened on umbers and just on one specific layer (J-Equipment) some lines are removed. I admit that resolution can be degraded but being removed is odd.

I exploded all those green blocks and match the lines with a rectangle I drew. and now all lines are shown in PCX. Seems the block setting has problem which I can not find. and just exploding the block didn't solve the issue until I match the properties with the one I drew. Any suggestion to fix the block? then all drawings using the same blocks will be fixed.
