Issue
When you tried to plot a drawing using a PC3 file, the plot preview was blank or had objects missing.
Solution
This issue occurs if the Lines Merge option is enabled in the PC3 file and the plot preview background color has been set to black.
You can use one of the following methods to work around this issue:
Set Merge Control to Lines Overwrite
1. In the Plotter Configuration Editor, click the Device and Documents Settings tab.
2. On the Device and Documents Settings tab, expand the Graphics tree and select Merge Control.
3. Select the Lines Overwrite option.
Set the Plot Preview Background color to white
1. On the AutoCAD command line, enter options
2. In the Options dialog box, click the Display tab.
3. On the Display tab, click Colors and
* In AutoCAD 2007, LT 2007, and later versions, select Plot Preview from the Context list and set the color to White.
* In AutoCAD 2006 and LT 2006, select Plot Preview Background from the Windows Element list and set the color to White.
Note: Selecting any color other than black will also prevent this issue.
Plot the drawing directly using a windows system driver without using a PC3 file
This option will prevent lines from merging when the drawing is plotted.

ReplyDeleteI easily solved this problem by creating a new layout near the existing one(named as Layout2). From the new layout2 you can easily view and take the printout.
ReplyDeleteHow to create a new Layout..? right click and select new layout.

I've been testing a several third party software just to batch plot or convert a hundreds of DWG files into PDF in order for us to share drawings for our client. Almost all of this software have their own limitations since they are all trial versions and downloaded from internet. CAD Printing
