Missing lines in final plot when trying to plot 3D Solids?

    When trying to use the PDF Writer driver by Autodesk, I find that the final
    plot has a number of MISSING lines in the final plot.

    These are when I try to plot an ortho view and there are some flat surfaces
    being seen edge-on. Some of them appear fine. Some have just pieces of the
    lines with large gaps missing.

    I'm not sure what setting might help this.

    Any ideas? Is this a problem with Acad? Or is it a problem specific to
    this driver? I could use a different printer but this would be much more
    time consuming.

    At the very least, is this known and is there a workaround?

    StarMan -

    I have this problem sometimes in 2008. Usually, adjusting the scale or
    the viewing angle a bit has fixed things, but I couldn't tell you why.

    This seems to help, too: in the printer Properties dialog, go to Custom
    Properties > Device and Document Settings > Default Settings and change
    'Standard' to 'High-Quality' or 'Press Quality.'
