Viewport not plotting correctly

[Anonymous]

To whom this may concern,

I have been working the new AutoCAD 2016 and trying to plot a 24x26 drawing that has 4 different viewport in it. I printed it on my plotter and was supprised when one of the images was left out. I went through the basic protocal and checked if the layer was plottable and that nothing was frozen. The problem could potentially be the plotter but as it printed all of the other three viewports I assumed it wasn't. The view port is also a isometric view but i dont know if that affects this problem.

Plotting to what? Using what driver?
What if you PLOT to something else? Or PLOT to file? PDF? DWF?
What is this 'image'? An isometric of an 'image'?
What's a "basic protocol' to those of us that can't see what you are doing?

Hi,



So I am plotting using an HP Plotter not 100 percent sure on the driver but
it should be the latest version for the HP DESIGNJET Z5400.

I had plotted other drawing on the plotter and they all came out fine and
when I plotted smaller pdf versions of the drawing they also ended up coming
out fine.

The 'image' was just an viewport of the model I created and I set it to the
SW isometric view in the viewport layout. At first I thought that I had
either froze the layer or had turned it to not plot but none of those were
the case.

I ended up changing the drawing around this morning and simply just changing
positions of the viewport and it printed fine.

So to be honest I still have no idea what went wrong but it works now from
what I can see.
