PM Grid Line shows when i plot

Anonymous · ‎2005-08-25

On the PM i made a grid for drawing number on the master layout.
I chose the option hide all then intersect with drawings.
the problem that when i plot it appears all the grid line even if it's intersecting the drawing.
Does anyone have a clue?
Thank you

My understanding is that this is a bug when plotting, but not printing.

So i think i have to wait until they fix the bug, and i hide all and make the ones that they should appear manual.

Quit plotting and the problem will go away. Make .pdf's and print that. Why does anyone use .plt's anyway? is it better in some way?

or: make your grid lines a 'dense dotted' white line (pen 91). if you set your preferences so that all items on the master show as one colour, the grids will show in the layout but appear never to plot . . .

(i think this was a nasty bug introduced in one of the latest patches . . . graphisoft are aware, as far as i know . . .)

but like this it will not appear when it's not intersecting a drawing as well, which i don't want.

Why are you plotting? Print.

Today's "plotters" are nothing but large format printers.

djordje-

that may be true, but plotting is about 5 times as fast as printing postscript, at least in our office. There is no wait while the postscript card processes data - the hpgl goes straight from the program to the plotter...

this bug we're talking about was introduced in the last hotfix, and I haven't installed it for that reason. no way am I going to try and change 20 people's plotting habits over GS's problems. The big question is, when are they going to fix it?

Also because the Plotting functions LOOK better, and some architects still care about that....

Hm, yes, Macs were always so CAD oriented ...

No, don't change people's habits, that is dangerous. Old is gold.
