Uli Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 If I use image fills in e.g. polygons I get fine white square lines when I print them. The size of the squares with the fine white border lines correspond with the Image settings I length and J length. It seems to me that VW is tiling the image fill but not without grooves (didn't find a better word?) Does anybody know how to avoid these white lines or am I the only one with this problem?

Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted April 4, 2014 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted April 4, 2014 I have seen this exact issue before but I do not recall what the conclusion/resolution was. I will track it down and get back to you. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted April 4, 2014 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted April 4, 2014 (edited) It looks like it was adressed (at least the cause in the previous case) by SP2 or SP3, are you updated to either of those versions already? If not, go ahead and do so: http://www.vectorworks.net/downloads/ServicePack.php?major=2014&servicepack=3 If so and the problem still happens, send me a file where you see it after printing, please: tech@vectorworks.net Edited April 4, 2014 by JimW Quote Link to comment
Uli Posted April 4, 2014 Author Share Posted April 4, 2014 (edited) Hi JimW, thanks for the very quick reply, I am on SP 3. New clean file simple rectangle image fill Nature Gras, maybe you can see the problem if you do the same and zoom into the drawing, thats what I get printed. In a scale of 1:1000 I do not see much but in a scale of 1:500 I see it clearly. Edited April 4, 2014 by Uli Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted April 4, 2014 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted April 4, 2014 (edited) Seeing it too now when I am at over 5,000% zoom. I have seen a few odd issues appear when at extreme zoom levels like that. If you create a viewport and alter the scale of it to get the size you want, but remaining at 100% zoom on the sheet layer, do you see the same lines? In any case I'll submit this as an issue now.

Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted April 4, 2014 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted April 4, 2014 Correction, even seeing it at 50% zoom in 1:1 scale. Submitting this as well. Quote Link to comment
Uli Posted April 4, 2014 Author Share Posted April 4, 2014 Maybe I found a workaround. I rotate the image fill e.g by 20?. On screen I see the tiling but no more white lines. I will see what I get printed. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted April 4, 2014 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted April 4, 2014 Confirmed, I am only seeing it when the image fill is at 0, 90, 180 or 360 or close to them, that may work in the meantime. Quote Link to comment
