Carlson Serious Plot Problem

I keep getting random parallel lines plotted from some of the Carlson points. They don't show up on the drawing, don't show up in preview, but when I plot to my plotter they are there. Also when I plot to PDF using the ACAD PDF printer within ACAD I get the same thing. CAnnot get rid of them.

Using Carslons 2014 on acad 2013.

Anyone seen this? Solution?

Do a purge and drawing cleanup

When you "Explode" an object i.e. a point or bearing/distance that has the option to mask background enable it will separate the text from the mask and with the mask as the same color as the background you can't see it as a separate object. Try selecting the entire area around the offending point and see if you don't have an extra grip somewhere near the middle of the point.

Not a Carlson user here but I have seen this happen when the Cadd background is black and a certain type of black line is drawn on the black background thus making it invisible until printed.
