AutoCAD/Autocad printing

Advertisement


Question
have a student version of AutoCAD 2008 and I am trying to print the four main engineering views in a layout. I printed the layout and it prints everything except the isometric view. Why?

ANSWER: how is the isometric object created? is it a 3D model? Imported? what layer is it in?

---------- FOLLOW-UP ----------

QUESTION: IT is a 3-d model being created in AutoCAD and then I am using a layout to show the different views to be printed.

Answer
I'm not really sure why that particular view is not printing but we can try a couple of things. Select or enable the viewport (one w/ isometric), right click/Shade Plot/select Wireframe or Hidden. Run a test plot.
Another way is to invoke '-vports' command, type 'hideplot' & turn it On, select viewport. Run a test plot.
Let me know if any success at all?
