I have "hide drawing under labels" checked, under triangulate and contour. When I plot to a PDF file there is a hatching(diagonal lines) over the contour labels.

Does anybody know how to fix this? When I send It to the printers, they have a program that prints with out the hatching but it sure would be nice to get rid of it.

TIA

Doug

Adobe 8.0, do you think that's the problem?

Could be.... I have had to plot to pdf before to eliminate Autocadd 2005 as a problem. Email me your dwg and I can try to plot and see if the same results occur.

Doug,

I think it's a plotter issue as some plotters just don't handle raster images well. Sometimes forcing the wipeout/raster image to color 255 will help, but not always.

Send the drawing to me and I'll test it on my plotter (HP designjet100+) if you like.

It's the PDF file that I'm having issues with....

I can get it to plot to paper, but the PDF shows lines(hatching)

Thanks,
Doug
