#EDIT AUTOCAD PLOT STYLE SOFTWARE#
Technical Support SpecialistAn AutoCAD Certified Professional, Ryan is responsible for taking client cases and assisting with issues with the software - everything from regular glitches to software deployments and whatever else goes wrong. The reason is that the Hidden is not plotting using Vectors, it's plotting as a Bitmap, so by reducing the width here, you get cleaner and more precise look to the Hidden View plot. This is Drawing Specific, not system specific, so this will need to be changed in each drawing (or in the starting Template for all drawings). Then retest the plot and see if that fixes the chunky plot look. Scroll down to the Silhouette Edges and change the default Width Value of 3 to 1 That will bring up the Visual Styles Manager. If you really use the same plot settings very often, you can save them as a Page Setup. each time you plot with the same settings can be a drag. Here's the solution that we've found to correct most of that: Selecting the right plotter, paper size, plot style table, etc.
When Plotting a Viewport, that has a Visual Style of Hidden Applied, the end result looks chunky and some items may be missing and in some cases phantom lines appear (that should be hidden). In addition to making this change to the Vistual Style, changing the following AutoCAD variables helps the plot to display correctly. We've run across this a few times recently, so below I will outline the changes that need to be made to successfully plot a viewport in Paper Space, when the Visual Style is set to Hidden. Scroll down in the palette to the Edge Settings section, Change the property called Show from Facet Edges to Isolines Change the Number of Lines setting from 20 to 0 (zero).
