Dear bro


I had a problem. When I edit something in the drawing. They are not plotted,  It can only be plotted the original drawing from my pratner.
How can I fix it? Thank you so much

Dear cad64
The print out was same for all (the original drawing) although I changed or added  more anything.I could edit the drawing but  I could not print what I can see on screen after I editted.
 
Could you please help me?

Why don't you post the drawing here so someone can take a look at it and try printing it for themselves?

maybe he is editing in a layer that is turned off or frozen in paper space...

It's hard to tell. He's not giving us very much information to work with.

It bears repeating.  Please post the drawing.

Agree, drawing would be best test but another item to check would be something I have run across. Inside the layer manager, to the right on each layer line is a printer icon. If the layer you are using has a red line through that printer icon it means that layer is marked to not print. Defpoints layer has that automatically chosen.
I have come across some CAD files where the backgrounds for some reason had some other layers chosen like that. So you will see the layer, draw in the layer but then it will not print.
 
Drove me nuts once until I figured out it was that. Didnt make anysense on that one since they chose to "not print" the layer with all the room #'s on it for this building.
 
Worth checking...

The OP stated his partner can print the exact same drawing so unless his partner is refusing to tell him some layers are set not to print then what's the cause of the problem?  Seems very odd.
