Hello, I have original 3D dwg AutoCAD files of various parts that I would like to print correctly in DraftSight. The drawings in AutoCAD appear as wireframe on screen, but print as hidden line, which is ok. When I open up the same dwg in DraftSight and set the shade view as hidden line they print as a solid? Any help is appreciated.
