My PDF file is not showing all my contours

[Anonymous]

I have been using auto ad civil 3D 2012. I have created a surface for my contour line and trying to convert the drawing to PDF. In PDF, some of page shows the contour line and the rest is showing no contour ? The surface is in one layer. Any help

Hi,

welcome @Anonymous.autodesk.com!

>> convert the drawing to PDF.

Which command did you use to "convert to PDF"?
If you used command _PLOT or command _PUBLISH ... which printer-/plotter driver did you use?

>> some of page shows the contour line and the rest is showing no contour ?
Can you please show the drawing as well as the PDF you get. At the moment I can't understand why Civil 3D should not present the contours just for a part of the page".

Hi,

>> I'm using output then export

Please use _PLOT, it's the better option and you do have more control over the content of the PDF

BTW: I do see contours ... what are you missing now exactly?

If there is an option to test with your drawing that might be the fastest way to a solution 😉
