pdf printing problem with non-joint lines and arches

[edocad3d]

Hello.
I would point out that this is the first time I write in this forum and I hope that I have observed all the rules in the regulation.
I start by saying that I have searched long and wide on the web the solution to this problem (which is making me nervous a lot these days) but I have not found any solution, I suppose for the particularity of the problem.

the situation is this:
I use autocad 2010 and I am working on a table for the thesis, at the time of printing the table in pdf (as I usually do before sending in print as a plotter so as to check the "real conditions of the work" the lines and the arches present in the drawing (especially those that are part of more complex figures) appear separate between them and moreover some lines come out as if they were a set of broken.

I realize that it is not easy to understand the problem for this I attach an image extracted from the pdf that I have printed with the dwg to pdf tool framed in autocad:



These are screenshots from the pdf file and you notice very well that something does not go in the drawings.

to facilitate the work of those who will be so kind to help me add some necessary clarifications:
- the drawings are all in 2d and I am working on model space and not on layout for the layout
- pdf printing is carried out at 300 dpi and as well as with the dwg to pdf tool has also been made with 2 virtual printers (primopdf and dopdf) and the problem persists.
- clearly in the design of autocad lines and arches appear correctly and not as in the print from pdf
- is not a matter of zeta quota as I have already used autolisp zeta.
- it is not a problem of lines and arches in itself because all the drawings present in the table have been retaken and remade several times to try to solve the problem

I really don't know if this problem is also in print, maybe it's a pdf reader display error (adobe reader) but this seems a very remote possibility. Anyway, it never happened to me and it bothers me a lot.


I hope you can help me. I thank you for your patience and understanding.

Greetings, Edward.

before saying something I would like to see if the print on paper presents the same mistake.. .

may be a thick line/polyline problem and its plating thickness.

check that those lines are not placed on some particular line.
in any case you have to do a print test on paper as tristan says.

 

[edocad3d]

Yes, I will have to check as soon as possible on paper.

Thank you for the answers, I will let you know how it will end.

something like this had happened to me, then I solved by changing the scale.
I practically had to draw a particular metallic, but I drew it in meters (yes, I know, it is an heresy...), in rendering the print then what happened to you happened, but then on paper the work was perfect.

Anyway, let us know if you solved it. .

something like this had happened to me, then I solved by changing the scale.

I thought about it and tried to convert all the design into millimeters...but little changed...I climbed the x1000 design thinking that being quite detailed, the small scale could have engraved on the print. then reflecting to us I thought that being vector graphics little matter the scale of design than that of printing... I inform you that with another type of virtual printer (pdf creator) I have achieved at least appreciable results:
even if the figure in the red circle should be an ellipse -.-
in the image in 3d instead we always have big trouble -.-

I also tried to print through the virtual printer postscript level 2, an eps then opened in photoshop to save the pdf but the results were quite poor. next and final attempt will be the "real plotter" :biggrin:

I'll let you know
Thank you very soon.

If you bring a particular in a new dwg you have the same problem?
also verify that you do not have the lines of your model at an exaggerated distance from the origin of the coordinates.


p.s. how did you get that 3d image? if you do not create a 2d vector with flatshot you can not get good results.

exactly flatshot.. .
geompiatta for us italioids.. .

the lines are very close to the point of origin. . .the only thing that comes to mind now is...the lines that make up the image in 3d (say better, the three-dimensional view in 2d) are all broken. . . precisely because with the flatshot command the lines and precisely the curves obtained, even getting the view in block, are formed by a set of broken... so it could be that in the points not united (almost all) there is an error regarding the "end of line" present in the "print style editor"

...it will be that I don't want to go on with the thesis and so the problem is passionate. . .

 

[edocad3d]

I printed in a2 and it seems that the problem does not occur. I believe that in order to check better I have to print in a larger format the table or maybe just a piece of the drawings on which the problem appeared.

All is well what ends well...
