Extra Lines in Pdf's made with 2016

I am having issues with PDF's made in 2016, addind extra extended lines on the PDF.

This is from a Flat Shot of a 3d model, (Does not do this on 3d model) it does it only in Paper Space (So far) and only in 2016.

No issues with 2014 PDF's.

 

 

I have attached examples.

 

I tried turning off the Hardware Acceleration, makes no difference.

- Is your Adobe software up-to-date?

- Is AutoCAD up-to-date with all service patches and hotfixes?

 

Please read and, or try the following:

 

@jggerth

 

What are you doing to 'export to pdf'?  Adobe?  native DwgToPDF pc3 driver? Bluebeam? CutePDF? PS Plotter?

 

There are innumerable ways to get from a DWG to PDF output, and the best advice I can offer is to try one of the other methods and see what happens.

 

A final though convoluted fix that always seems to work is to plot to a DWF, and then print the DWF to PDF.  An extra step that shouldn't be needed, but it does seem to get around  a lot of odd issues with PDF and Acad.

 

@pendean

 

Turn off LINESMOOTHING and LINEFADING in your LT2016 and see if that helps. If not, then go into GRAPHICSCONFIG cna turn off even more settings.

You can also post that DWG file here for others to look at if the above did not help.

We have same problem and we notice it was happening to all maps which have negative rotation in our data driven page. We make it same angle in positive by adding 360 to all negative value. It works perfectly for us.
I hope this solution work for everyone.
All the best.

Answer to few questions

 

I am using Adobe Standard Ver 8.

Service Pac #1 was installed 10-28-15.

I am using dwg to pdf pc3, Bullzip, Standard adobe and d0 PDF Ver7. With same results from all.

I also get the same issues when converting to a dwf file also.

 

IT is going to upgrade Adobe, plus they have contacted AUTOCAD for advice.

 

I will keep you updated after update.

 

THANKS

Thanks for quoting me @wisp, but those have nothing to do with plotting.

While you wait for Autodesk support, do you get the same problem if you PLOT to paper (printer or plotter)?
Any chance you can share that DWG file here?
Did you remember to send Autodesk Support your DWG file as well? Otherwise you'll wait 24-48 hours and then they will ask for it and you'll wait for another 24-48 hours for a response (if they have a fix).

It addes lines to both plotting and printinting.

"legacy hidden" in the viewport seems to be the culprit.
