Hey all,I have a question I hope someone can help me with.We are using AutoCAD 2009 in our office now and with our older version we had a .lisp command allowing us to plot hidden lines.This command no longer works and I was hoping that Autodesk might have this comand built in. I know about the "hlsettings" but it doesn't seem to be what I am looking for... or at least I am doing something incorrect.I look forward to any help I can get.

[/QUOTE]Welcome to CADFORUM.  I have attached the plotting screen check in.

Thanks for the quick response.We do all of our printing using the layouts... and we turn on the hidden plot feature via the view port. But this does not plot the hidden lines....It only hides the drawing not showing any hidden lines.With the older versions of AutoCAD we could type in "turnhiddenlineson" or "turnhiddenlinesoff" and it would plot with the hidden lines on or off.3D Hidden shows the lines behind other objects but they do not appear as a hidden line type.I was wondering if there is an option for that in 2009.Thanks again for your help.
