Recently i've started to have an issue when printing drawings where some of the lines are missing.

I've tried different printers, and the same result occurs. When I preview the print, it shows the same lines missing.

I'm not sure if i might have changed a setting somewhere, but its only started to occur recently.

any advice appreciated.

What version of CATIA? We have seen this in the past (distant past, though).
 
I had seen this (especially in isometric views) in R18 and R18 SP2 if I remember correctly.

 
Version is V5 R18 with no service pack.

I generally see it on curved lines - straight lines generally appear and print ok.
 
Yeah, similar when we saw it. Can you update to the latest service pack? I don't think we have this problem anymore.
 
The solution to this problem is that you have the drawing rotated 90 deg. You must set the rotation to zero deg and then switch to landscape mode. I have no idea why this works but it does work for me. Hope it helps.
 
I followed Craptia's advice, and changed the rotation to zero deg, and this appears to have solved the problem.
I'm going through the process of obtaining the service pack and will update just in case.

Thanks for your help
