ADT '05 doesn't plot entire drawing

[gregb]

I have a number of drawings that won't print all of the objects in the drawing. The attached file is an example of this situation where an entire building should show up in the plot but I'm only getting a portion. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

What are you plotting to???

A printer. I'm just kidding. It doesn't matter what printer I use (laserjet, oce, pdf, dwf) they all give the same result.

I'm going to guess that it's just one drawing or view? If so, you could try to simply copy and paste all the objects into a new drawing started with a fresh clean template. For what ever reason, from time to time I've noticed that ACA/ADT forgets what it's supposed to display.
My only other thought is that if the objects are displaying on the screen but not the print preview, check the plot style for the object. If it's set to default, try changing it to something else that you know plots. Just a thought.

Yeah, I thought about the copy / paste method but the problem is that all of the tags in the view file are linked to the external reference and they don't take too well to being copied.

I have discovered that it is an issue with the external reference. I found that in the drawings giving me trouble there were multiple copies of the same base file; one on top of the other. Unfortunately, getting rid of the extra reference didn't help but if I reference another copy it prints just fine. Alternately I could bind (insert) the external reference and it prints correctly but that presents the same problem as the copy / paste method when it comes to the tags.
