Missing lines in elevation HELP!

[patricks]

I'm printing final sheets, and on some of my interior elevation views there are several lines missing, mostly around my crown molding at tops of walls. It looks fine on my computer screen, but then when I print it looks like either the crown molding is missing altogether, or the bottom line is gone so you can't see where the molding stops and the gyp. bd. wall starts. Any ideas?

Here's what I'm talking about, the JPEG shows what it looks like on my screen. The PDF shows what it looks like when I print (or even when I do a print preview). The left side in the oval is what I was able to get using linework (completely rediculous IMHO) and the right side shows it untouched. It's like the crown molding just doesn't show up at all. This is really frustrating having to do line work on something that already looks correct but won't print out as such. :banghead:

Could it have anything to do with this being a curved wall with a sweep?

Could it have anything to do with this being a curved wall with a sweep?Yes - it is related to the curve. Let's say you have a round grab bar that turn back toward the wall with a radius bend. The bar perpendicular to the wall will look fine. The bend as it turns back will be a lighter line. If you bump up the object style lineweight it will increase both the straight and the curve proportionally. However the curve beyond will always be lighter.

The thing is, though, I have another curved wall and crown molding showing in another elevation, at a smaller scale, and it shows fine.

If you look at my PDF on the right side, it looks like the crown molding facing the view cut plane is gone altogether, as it appears you can see the end of the crown molding profile on the side facing away from the cut plane.

I tried going under Walls in Object Styles, the Wall Sweep - Cornice and Wall Sweep - Trim categories and bumping their projection lineweight to 3 instead of 1, but it still prints as if those crown molding pieces are invisible.

I have the same issue sometimes with exterior elevations. I find printing as raster solves it.
