Trying to print a layout to PDF using the Rhino PDF printer (have tried adobe, and foxit with same effect) and its printing these huge thick black lines that dont exist in my drawing or show up in the print preview. Thoughts?
PDF of printed layout
Screenshot of layout
Images are pretty useless to troubleshoot these issues.
We will need:
Thanks

Oh I just discovered what the issue was…there were overlaying curves in those two areas. I deleted the offenders and the problem went away. Not sure why that caused the giant thick black line though? I often have unintended overlapping curves and thats never been a problem before.
I’m glad you found it.
The 2 Layouts you identified do not look anything like your screenshots.
I was getting ready to ask for further clarification.
If you have time, maybe export just the offending curves to a new file and see if you can repeat the oddity there.
Then we have a far more efficient file to use for bug hunting.
Thanks
Oh that’s probably because I use a custom display mode, I should have sent you my .ini file too. I will attach it here.

I tried drawing the overlapping curves and could not reproduce the problem. I’ll keep my eye out in future. I could go back and open up an old autosave but I don’t have time to chase it today. Thanks for your help John.
seldup command can be useful for finding duplicate curves that overlap.
