Printing piping shows the hidden lines

MOatman · ‎10-16-2015

When we print pipe with the viewport set to legacy hidden the hidden lines in the pipe are showing.

We only want the edge lines of the pipe to show.

We have the "Show Edges of Round in Wireframe mode" option enabled in the database.

DISPSILH variable in drawing is set to 0.

HIDEPRECISION is set to 1

See attached for more info.

I already have that setting turned off.

The display settings have not been changed since version 2013.

The drawings were printing fine until version 2016.

See attached pdf. The text is also not printing correctly.

I have this exact same issue, still can't find a solution. I have checked just about every setting I could that would be associated to this, but no luck. Would love to find an answer as to why this happens.

Fabrication software does not like when the objects are really far from 0,0,0 in the drawings. That is what causes the text to glitch out.

You have (2) options:

Manually move the model closer to 0,0,0 and then generate the spools

Turn on the spool setting "Move Model" which basically does the same thing automatically while it generates isometric drawings.

That setting is located in the Spool.ini file.

Internet says the ini file is located here:

C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Fabrication 2014\CADmep

Go to the Layer Manager and turn the center line off.
