As Paul Harvey would say: here's a strange.....!
This has happened once or twice before, but I attributed it to operator error, but this time I checked.

I have a project consisting of 6 drawing sheets. I batch printed these six sheets to a plot file to be printed by an outside blueprint house. (using the "select views" option.

Five of the six sheets printed five, but one sheet was omitted (sheet # 4 of 6). I repeated this process several times with the same result. I then printed sheet # 4 by itself to a plot file and it worked fine.
The sheet setups were identical.

Any ideas what's happening here?

I have found a similar problem as well. But i find that it sometimes happens when exporting to dwg. I have found that the only solution for me was to do each sheet individualy. I know that this is not the solution but it is less frustration than trying to work out which sheet is missing

Do your sheet names include commas or any other "special" characters? That is the only time I have run into trouble. It is a known issue, I have called before.

There are no special items but there are spaces in the names. Could this be a problem?

Spaces have never presented a problem for me. Sorry.
