Ghost lines in plot

Discussion in 'AutoCAD' started by Richard Taylor, Oct 1, 2004.

  1. HELP PLEASE:
    I'm new to this forum thing and hope someone can help me.
    We have 6 copies of AutoCAD 2000 lt and 5 of them print ghost lines the best
    example I can give is if you draw a rectangle or a closed polyline and trim
    away a section, the section that was trimmed will still be plotted any way
    even though it is not on the screen. As a note all layers are on and
    unaltered and also if I print the same drawing from my copy of AutoCAD 2000
    lt the lines are not there. Is this a setting every one else has on that I
    don't?
    Has anyone had this problem?

  2. the IT guys updated them all to 2000 at about the same time using the same
    disk and using the same printer drivers. I do know that they all carried
    over all there files and templates from the older versions 12, 13 & 14. Me
    always wanting to be different started out with a fresh start. I try to use
    layouts and paper space the way I think it was intended (the way I was
    taught in school) to be used and they use layouts and paper space full size
    as if they were using the model tab and then scale it down to 1:16 during
    the plot process. I think they need to start out fresh also but most of them
    don't want to leave there comfort zones. I was hoping it might just be a
    variable that I've been over looking.
