When using fillet arc command, the arc and the two lines used to create the arc do not line up upon printing

[dan.laccetti]

Hello,

As described in the subject I create two perpendicular lines that intersect at their ends. I use the fillet tool, an arc is created. On the screen it looks fine, it isn't until I print (to PDF or to an actual printer) that I get a disjointed arc/line. 

I am trying to create a title block is all, so I am working within a title block template family file. Want to create some nice boxes with rounded edges. 

I have attached three pictures, one of my pdf print settings, one of how the fillet arcs look in REVIT and lastly how it looks in PDF.

Thanks.

Odd.  

Try Toggle Join Tangency Locks.  I doubt it will make a difference, but see what happens. 

[dan.laccetti]

Thanks for the quick reply! I have tried that a few times, locking one side then print testing, locking the other side then testing, locking both then testing. No luck!

Does it happen when you print from a Sheet in project, not from the Titleblock family?

[dan.laccetti]

Yes, upon a quick test and using one of REVITs sample projects, I swapped out an existing title block for my disjointed one and it still prints incorrectly. Also the lines seem to come a little disjointed as I zoom in and out (both in the sheet and in the family file). But when I am settled on a zoom they appear to line up correctly. Thanks.

What other options do you have here?  And try Graphic (Zip).

[dan.laccetti]

Oh we got OPTIONS.

AutoCAD Drawing with Photographs

AutoCAD Drawing 

Autodesk Inventor Document 

Autodesk Revit Document 

Bentley MicroStation Document 

CAD Document - Portrait 

DWF Drawing 

EDS Unigraphics NX Document 

Microsoft Office Document 

Microsoft PowerPoint Presentation

Standard Document 

Did you want me to toggle the graphics button for image compression?

[ToanDN · Accepted solution]

Yes, try Graphics (Zip) for image compression.   And try Standard Document instead of Revit Document.

Hey! This appears to have worked. I had toggled out of the graphics (ZIP) for image compression just trial and erroring stuff earlier in the day, so I think it is the 'standard document' setting that was the fix.

One thing I will note that is lines I had tried to bring in from CAD (Imported a DWG into a title block family template RFA) still appear disjointed, but at this point I am going to take what I got and spend the half hour just redrawing some title block boxes, no biggie! Thank you so much!

If you wouldn't mind me asking, what is the meaning of the 'application' setting? Like literally how will the print of used? Thanks again.

Bluebeam optimizes the output PDF based on different application settings.  Sometime it goes the wrong way.
