Lines of pipe missing when plotting

Hey Guys,  Using Autocad MEP 2018, apparently hideprecision is no longer a command.  But I am having issues when plotting piping in Legacy Hidden.  All layers are on and set to plot, but lengths of pipe and fittings will randomly be missing lines.  in autocad 14 I was able to solve this with hidprecision and lts and pslts,  but nothing is working.  Does anyone know how to solve this issue?  You would think that since they eliminated hideprecision that it would no longer be a concern but.....

Question.

 

Are these sections of pipe drawn with dashed or hidden linetype?  If the LTSCALE is too large the pipes won't actually look like hidden lines until they are really long pipe runs.  Then, those pipes will look broken or accidentally missing.

 

I've had this happen.  Seemed silly to me until I realized I wasn't watching what layer settings I had.

The command is not gone but maybe with a slightly different name. VSHIDEPRECISION is the command but it is listed as obsolete. 

 

VSHIDEPRECISION

 

I'm not sure if this is your solution however. Can you post a sample drawing and a screen capture or something to show what you are seeing?

Hi Charles, were you able to get your files to plot correctly or can you attach a dwg and plot file showing the issue that you are having with plotting? I want to make sure that you are getting the results that you expect.
