problems printing a 3d model

[R12NV]

I have a drawing of a 3d model, that im having problems printing.

I have one model that is shown in 4 vports in the layout window. Standard top,front and end evelation plus a 3D south west view.

I have them set to hide 3x and 1x shade, it show it all hidden and shaded on the screen but when i preview it or print it, it reverts back to a 3d wire mesh.

I have tryed the hide objects tick box and a cople other things, but it doesnt want to co-opperate.

Select the view port frames, get properties dialogue box up, goto Misc and change 'hide plot' to yes. also set DISPSILH to 1 to get rid of those pointless tesselation lines. As far as I know you cant plot shaded you have to use render (unless you do a print screen and paste the image in)

Rel 2004 supports printing rendered drawings

You can always try the "solprof" command.
Here are some previous links on the subject ..

Also there other variables you can try.
Look for CADaver's 2nd post here @ thread555-59268

Hope one of those help.
