uploads/657554/arch_test.dwgI'm using Autocad 2019 LT and have a drawing containing a semi-circle...When I plot and print - a line appears across the centre of the semi circle. I'ts not on my drawing, modelspace or paperspace, no hidden or thawed lines or layers etc. It only appears when printed, it's not even viewable on a PDF but prints from there also!Help please!

I printed your drawing three different ways and there was no thin line across the semi-circle.  I printed directly from model space, directly from a layout and via a PDF.  There is nothing wrong or unusual with the drawing itself.

How strange!I get it printing from model, saving as a pdf THEN printing or printing from paperspace.This drawing was also copied from, and drawn from scratch 2 separate times with the same results....Any ideas from here??

No idea what's happening.  Same printer every time?

After a quick investigation, I can say that this issue could be a bug in AutoCAD (in both versions - for Mac and for PC): these lines appear in the viewport with a visual style other than 2D Wireframe when 3D Solids are extremely thin in comparison to its area.Look here:http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-2007-2008-2009/quot-ghost-quot-lines-on-thin-3d-solids/td-p/19...You can try to use SOLPROF workaround or create flatten view of 3D objects with FLATSHOT command than put the result to Layout.

It's a 2D not a 3D drawing so what is said in the above post is not relevant.

Bump to see if there is any update? Just printed off a brand new drawing and the same thing happens - Autocad add 'ghost' lines between 2 points of an arch that are not on the drawing, or pdf, but print only!

Hi,I did the same thing as John...Printed the drawing several ways (model/paperspace).No ghost lines here.....It seems to me that it is a printer issue not an acad issue....

Happened to me again yesterday - it seems that when I trim these lines, when printed they are back there, but not on screen!
