Reference clipped elements appearing in prints

Sean S — Thu, 12 Mar 2015 15:55:51 GMT

I have a file where a reference is clipped (using a fence but not rectangular). It appears fine on screen and when creating PDFs, but when I print to a printer or plotter, a hidden portion of the clipped reference is printing. Maybe my .pltcfg is incorrect somehow?

I've attached an image (clipping.jpg) with yellow highlight showing where the reference should be clipped. Another image showing how it should print (correct.jpg), a pltcfg file, and Sample.dgn

For now I can create a PDF then print, but I'd like to send directly to print obviously.

turn off terminators

Terence Johnson — Wed, 09 Oct 2019 22:12:49 GMT

OK stupid question but i have wasted enough time with workarounds -

i get into some drawings and a terminator is applied to any line, smart line, complex chain or shape vertices. how do i switch it off so no terminator is applied? i've changed it the dimstyles advanced, there are no cells that are current.

thanks
