I just but the finishing touches on a site drainage plan and a erosion control plan. Hit the print button and walk to the plotter (HP800) and the new contours are not plotting, the existing one are there with the both solid and hidden (modified areas). Any reason why the new contours will not print? I'm using RAC 2010.

If it shows on the screen, then it should be printing.   Try printing to a PDF.  Something may be wrong with your print driver.

A few hours after creating this post, and with lots of pondering, trail and error, including creating a pdf file (with the same results as the plotter), I finally figured it out. The problem was that the existing topo needed to a graphic override to "Transparent". The new topo design had several swales that cut into the existing, thus placing the these new swales (topo lines) below the existing topo. With Model Graphic Style set to "Hidden Line" the existing topo was hiding the new. Strangely I could see the new swale topos on my screen and just figured it would print.?? So problem solved for now. One for the memory bank.
