I am using AutoCAD 2016 and I am having trouble printing curved 3D objects. When I set my veiwports shade plot to "Legacy hidden", everything looks as it should except the curved objects have triangles on them instead of printing clean. When I set my veiwports shade plot to "3D hidden" the curved objects are clean but my lineweights appear 3 times thicker. How do I print 3D curved objects without triangles and not increase the appearance of my lineweights?
Thanks,

Hi Melodiese,
Let's take a look at your plot settings!
If I set mine to Hidden and then make sure that the Plot Object Lineweights is not checked, it appears correct. Is this not what you are looking for? Please give me a bit more detail and attach a drawing that shows this issue.

Hi Melodiese, The attachments didn't make it onto the thread. Please try again and send me the drawing as well so I can explore the problem. You can put all of the files into a ZIP file to make it easy to attach.
This is what I see when I use 3dHidden ( I dont have your pen table which might also explain some differences)
Let me know if this is different than what you get. It is hard to tell in the PDFs that you sent me excatly what the problem is so if you can pinpoint an area that would be helpful.
Hi Melodiese
I'm sorry - do you mean the trusses? Can you highlight where you are seeing the problem? I showed this to another tech here and they don't understand either. I apologize that I am not getting the crux of your issue.
Please help me help you.
I'm going to take a wild guess (without the dwg file) and ask, "Do you have dispsilh on or off?"
Hi Melodiese,
I was able to get it to print properly after I used -EXPORTTOAUTOCAD.
I created the new drawing, set the viewport to hidden and it seemed to print properly for me.

Thank you John! That was it. I knew it had to be something I was over looking.
Thank you for your patients.
