Topography won't show in print preview

Hi folks,

 

I have created some topography from an autocad file successfully but when I go to print a sheet my contour lines will not show in the print preview and thus won't print. It's driving me bonkers.

See attached file

Can someone suggest a few things to check as to why this is happening please?

 

Dale

Thanks @ennujozlagam. I'm referring to the contours lines generated by Revit that I'm not seeing in print preview. I note that I did have the imported cad turned off as I don't want to use these.

@ennujozlagam If you take a look at sheets A104 - A1 and A07 - A3 you can see the contour lines generated by revit. But when I do a print preview they disappear.

i tried and its work fine but sometimes the line is missing. try to switch off your use hardware accelerations from options. update your graphics card driver to the latest and delete the existing sheet and create a new one. tick audit before opening the file and see if helps. thanks

Try using the raster printing option for this. 

Another option is to turn on wireframe.  This will work if it doesn't affect your other settings.

@Anonymous  Thanks heaps. The raster printing seems to have done the trick. When I use vector printing its random and erratic if the topo contours show on the print preview. Have done serveral test prints using the raster printing and its print previewed correctly and in turn printed correctly everytime. Thanks to @ennujozlagam  for your help along the way.
