Hidden visual style plots with transparancy

[billy.bot]

Hi,

I've been working on a drawing over a couple of different computers, one running 2013 and the other a trial of 2015.

I've come back to finish my drawing off in 2013 and when I change the visual style to hidden the drawing in model and paper space becomes as if the transparency is set to about 60%? 

Is there a setting that i have inadvertently changed whilst switching between the two versions and how do I change the hidden visual style back to 0 transparency.

Many Thanks,

Will

Hi,

Can you show:

• the drawing
• a screenshot with visual style "Hidden"
• a screenshot with visual style "Wireframe"

...so we can see what you see?

And as you have 2013 as well as 2015 ... does that happen in both releases of AutoCAD and also in new drawings?

Look into Visual Styles Manager

Hi,

I've attached a screengrab (view states.png) of my papersace sheet.

On the left shows my visual styles manager with the parameters selected for hidden, the top center Viewport (inside the orange box) shows an iso in 'realistic' visual style setting, top right VP shows 'hidden' with the transparancy proplem I'm having (it plots like this too). Bottom right VP shows 'wireframe' visual style and bottom middle VP is wireframe too.

All these viewports are of the same drawing in modelspace, just from different angles.

Also today I've noticed that there is an additional Visual style available called 3d hidden (which wasnt there yesterday :-/)

Thanks for your help!

Will.

Hi Alfred,

I may have posted this in the wrong place but....

I've attached a screengrab (view states.png) of my papersace sheet.

On the left shows my visual styles manager with the parameters selected for hidden, the top center Viewport (inside the orange box) shows an iso in 'realistic' visual style setting, top right VP shows 'hidden' with the transparancy proplem I'm having (it plots like this too). Bottom right VP shows 'wireframe' visual style and bottom middle VP is wireframe too.

All these viewports are of the same drawing in modelspace, just from different angles.

For clarity I've taken 3 more screen grabs, the drawing in 2d wireframe, wireframe, and hidden.

Also today I've noticed that there is an additional Visual style available called 3d hidden (which wasnt there yesterday :-/)

I havent had chance to test it back out on 2015 yet, but I will tonight when I get back home.

Thanks for your help!

Will.

Hi,

>> Also today I've noticed that there is an additional Visual style available called 3d hidden

And have you tried it?

My question from yesterday: does that happen only in 2015 or in both releases, 2013 and 2015.

>> top right VP shows 'hidden' with the transparancy proplem

What I don't understand now is the "transparency problem" as I don't know what is transparent within that project/that viewport.

What you can do to get that plottet well is to change to paperspace, select the upper right viewport (open the property window if not already open) and change then property "Shade Plot" to "Legacy hidden".
