Above are the front view, top view, and front view as a PDF.
Could anyone help me to print the PDF in a way that displays it in the same way as my sheet, not showing all lines through other objects?
If I rasterize before I print then it displays correctly, but the lines are faint and the general image looks a bit washed out.
This seems to occur with all print drivers in Microstation CONNECT Edition Update 16 (10.16.01.56).
Thanks in advance,
Tom

Where is a sample of what your sheet looks like? It's unclear what your question is. We need to see what you expect as an end result.
Microstation CONNECT - 10.17.2.61
ORD - 2021 R1 10.10.1.3
ORD 2022 R1.1 - 10.11.3.2
ORD 2022 R3 - 10.12.2.4
Microstation v8i SS 10 - 08.11.09.919
Power InRoads v8i - 08.11.09.615
ProjectWise - 10.0.3.453
The first and second images are screenshots from the sheet view and are what it should look like, but it is being printed as shown on the third image.
Ok, thanks for the clarification. How are you "hiding" the lines from the first 2 images in the dgn file? Are you using element priorities with filled shapes or some type of clip masking? Are the print drivers you are using out-of-the-box from Bentley or have they been modified in any way? Are you using any scripts or pen tables in the plot drivers?
The sheet is setup as a 2D Front View of a 3D model. So the lines are hidden as they are actually behind a 3D object.Unsure if that answers your question, so apologies if not.
The print drivers are standard Bentley ones as far as I can tell.There is a pen table being used, but removing it doesn't seem to fix the issue.
Ok, the fact that it is a 3d model is very important important information. Unfortunately I do not have much experience plotting 3d models so I will not be much help making suggestions. Hopefully someone with experience will reply.
It might help if you could post a sample of the file. All we need is a dgn file with that one part of the model and the sheet setup.
