I have problems with plotting dotted hatches and dotted lines in nanocad5. Changing line weight in layer properties does not effect the plot.
Dots are barely visible. I tried with several pdf plotters and directly on printer, the result is the same.

I use nanocad plotstyle, without plot syle it doesn't even plot dots.

What properties could I change so I would get some thickness in plotted dots? When printed to pdf, dots are visible on screen, but apparently assigned line weight of dots is too small for my printer (the cartouche is new, so that's not a problem.)

I use pdf plot, so I can use file in publishing software and than print.

Attached Img is from pdf reader, where dots are clearly visible, when the same file is printed on paper the dots are barely visible. Attached Image: plot analisys.JPG,


Edit: apparently there is no solution for this problem.

I have a new problem with plotting pdf.

Nanocad7 PRO: using internal pdf plotter with DPI set to highest. The pdf looks good, but then when plotting on my a3 printer or canon plotter, some lines become smudged lengthwise.

If i use other pdf plotters (Microsoft to pdf, Bullzip or Pdf Creator) such smudge does not appear, but I don't know how could i set them to plot raster image with adjustments made in Nanocad 7 Pro (Brightness, Contrast, Fade). When plotted with these pdf plotters all adjustment are ignored, also plotting directly on printer these adjustments are ignored.

Anyone here knows how to set this?

Can you try to plot it from viewer with "Send as bitmap" or "Plot as bitmap" option? That may be a workaround.
