Had some spare time, playing around with line weight standards, and took one of my previous assemblies into a new file to tweak.
I’m noticing some missing lines when printing, and some areas where things are printing that just don’t exist in the file.
I’m trying out a custom display mode that’s Technical but with no hidden lines showing, but the same artifacts are happening in standard Pen.
Artifacts don’t show up in the detail view, but show up on Print Preview, and on final print.

Technical, No Hidden Lines, TB Rem’d.pdf (254.3 KB)
Blocks are all embedded McMaster-Carr parts, originally downloaded as STEP, saved as 3DM with all options as “By Parent”.
Print settings are set to Vector, which I’d prefer to keep if possible…
Any thoughts of where I might be going wrong?
