Objects in viewport not plotting

Anonymous
Not applicable

I' m trying to print a drawing which contains a viewport, but none of the objects inside the viewport are visible when I plot or preview plot.  There are three xrefs in the drawing, however I have succesfully plotted several other drawings with the same xrefs. I also tried drawing a line in model space, but even that doesn't print, so it looks like the problem is not related to the references.

 

Here is what the drawing looks like:

Here is what it looks like in plot preview:

and here is what the actual plot looks like:

Are the xrefs on a nonplotting layer?  Post the drawing or a portion of the drawing for us to examine.

Always save a copy of the drawing before trying anything suggested here.

No, they're all on a layer that is thawed, on, not viewport frozen, and not nonplotting. I also tried drawing objects in model space, and they don't show up in a plot either.

For any of the objects that don't plot in the viewport on the layout tab, do they plot (and/or preview) if you plot from the Model tab?

 

Within the XRef DWGs, are there objects on no-plot layers?

What visualstyle are you running in that viewport? Looks muddy to say the least.

Otherwise... show us: post your actual DWG file let's all have a look.

In the xrefs, no layers are frozen, turned off, or non-plotting

What are your pen assignments?  CTB or STB? Upload a screenshot of your entire plot dialog window.
