hidden line plots acad 2000

[cadshredder]

I am trying to plot a solid with hidden lines removed. The - view - shade - hidden "view" looks perfect in all views but I can't sem to get that image through to the printer! I went to the layout view (paper space) with hideview turned on and plot configuration with hide objects checked and I am only getting a partial plot of the view when I see the plot preview [ie. it seems like it wants to plot the correct image (with the proper lines removed)] but is only giving me about 1/4 of the view! Can anybody help?

If you are just wanting the hidden view then you do not need to mess with paper space.

Type PLOT, on the 'Plot Settings' screen in the 'Plot Options' area in the lower right corner of the window is a setting called 'Hide objects'. This will hide all items during the plot. If you are using a title block that has any polylines with a width greater than zero, the polylines will not be filled in solid. Arrow heads will also not be solid.

To use the paper space (layout mode), you can stretch the viewport window larger with either the STRETCH command or by simply clicking on the box and then in the blue grips that show up at each corner.

If you can see the whole picture on your screen, but it is still only printing out 1/4 of the image, then you need to adjust the scale in the plot box. If you are not trying to print to a specific scale use 'scale to fit'. If you need a scale, then select on that will show the entire part in the preview window.

I tried to cover all the bases here. Hope this helps.
