Hello everyone
I am having a bit of trouble

I have a 3d drawing that I am trying to print with the lines hidden. After I hide the objects in the print dialogue box and print the drawing everything turns out OK except the cylinders, they have a zig-zag pattern on them! I cant seem to get rid of it and have spent many many hours trying to get this to work.

Your reply would be greatly appreciated

Does setting DISPSILH to 1 help?

Yes, DISPSILH set to 1 is certainly the way to fix the problem.
I think the zig zag pattern you see on every curved surface is the mesh
Autocad creates to show 3dsolid objects when you activate hide command or
hidden lines plot.

Look in the on-line help files and search for "tesselation".
