Oce TDS 600

[CADQUEEN]

Hi All,
I am having a MAJOR issue with AutoCAD 2000 and my TDS600 Plotters.
When plotting shaded areas if there is say an existing gas line cover by a another shade it will only plot what is on top, not both shades. I know you can bring it to the front in AutoCAD but we have way to many dwgs to do this to all of them. We had Xerox 8850s and this was not an issue.
I have tried the Oce drivers and HPGL2 drivers but neither fixed the issue. I also messed around with my pc3 file but no luck.
If any one out there has Oce's and knows how to fix this it would be GREATLY appriciated....It driving me NUTS!
Thanks,
Cassy

I looked at our PC3 for our Oce ...
And in the PC3 under graphics ...
Expand that and look in "Merge Control".
Is "Line Overwrite" checked?

See if that helps

Thanks rKeyTek but I don't have that option.
What driver are you using?

 

[rKeyTek]

We're using the "gdiplot7.hdi" driver.

Let me know if there's anything else.

These drivers come with AutoCAD. These are native drivers.
