I print 3D solid models using a layout and viewport all the time. Try changing your visual style to either Conceptual or Realistic.

Hi John,

I'm confused. I made a single viewport in paper space and zoomed my 3d model to the position I wanted. It looks fine in the viewpot but when I go to print it comes out in 3d wire frame. A friend told me I can't print 3d solids in autocad 2002. Is that so?

The correct terminology is "Visual Styles". Another one you might find useful would be 3DHidden.

While you print a 3D drawing from model space I find it easier to do so from a paper space layout making use of viewports. Are you familiar with this technique?

Hello Imits, to print a 3D volume in shaded or realistical aspect you will have to open a port in the paper space ans set it correctly:

Command MVIEW, Hide, ACtive, clic to select the port that you want to hide.

Please do verify the exact words because this is a crude translation from my French release.

Hello,

Can anyone tell me how to print my 3d dwg in autocad 2002 so it doesn't show up as 3d 0r 2d wireframe? I've tried different plot settings and print screen won't print at all.
