    Question Wall hatch pattern partly invisible when plotting to PDF

    Hi all,

    I'm having a problem with a wall hatch pattern that partly disappears when plotting to PDF. In sheet paperspace and plot preview all seems fine and everything is visible, but in the resulting PDF, part of the hatch has disappeared.
    It's probably better to show it (screenshots):

    Plot preview:


    PDF file:


    Anyone got any tips about what might cause this?
    I have tried to update the referenced construct with the correct wall style (the hatch pattern is set in the wall style).

    Might add that I've tried to publish from the "sheet set view" in "Project Navigator", and also from "Print" in menu (using "DWG to PDF.pc3" driver). Both these options produce the same result...
    And one more thing... when perfoming the exact same procedure but from another view (the other side of the building, with the same wall style) it plots without problems!

    All ideas are welcome

    Edit: I've now tried to remove one of the windows (the left in the gruop of three) and the problem moved to the window next to it (to the right)... Nothing wrong with that particular window as it seems.
    Moved on and checked the wall cleanup and found a problem there, however, not one that had anything to do with the hatch problem (still there).
    Also removed the entire wall and put it back without windows or modified roofline, and this time it looks like this in PDF (preview and sheet paperspace still shows as normal):

    Well after a bit more investigating and trial and error I found the problem myself... I managed to attach two copies of the view in the sheet and those two didn't play well together. I removed the extra copy and the problem vanished

    Hope this can help someone with similar problem...
