plotting issues

[tmactom]

When I plot a sheet set, the elevations and cross section are skewed, This truss is off center. But in the working plan layout, it's all OK? I must have something toggled on weird as when I print to PDF it skews everything or cuts stuff...

The floor plans are fine. Just anything elevation is skewed when I go to plot it.

Any help is much appreciated!

Almost like there's double layouts sent, but it doesn't show that in the layout tab

This happened to me yesterday and the solution was to send everything to layout as "Plot Lines" instead of "Live View".  Try resending each one as a "Plot Line".

If you search for this issue you will find that it is very common for 3 reasons:

 

1.) Using live views instead of plot lines as Susan mentions above.

2.) Your model is very far from the 0,0 X/Y Coordinate

3.) The terrain is very large and/or you have an item very far away from the model that is causing distortion to the view.

And one other bit of info I just learned from another post relating to Plot Line Views...  There is a button available for your toolbar called "Update All Views" and nested under that is "Update All Plot Line Views".  

Always amazed at what I learn on this forum!
