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

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....

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!

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

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:

You can try to use SOLPROF workaround or create flatten view of 3D objects with FLATSHOT command than put the result to Layout.

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

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??
