Plotting Hillshade Effect

[GreggPawlowski]

I am making a slope map and I have the raster layer set to "Use hillshade effect"(under properties and symbology tab). It looks great on the screen but I cant get it to plot. The colors come out as normal solids with no shading.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Gregg

Hi Gregg,

Is the printing problem only with the plotter or with a normal printer also?
As a workaround, if you have ArcGIS 10 you can use the hillshade function through the Image Analysis window - creating a new layer displaying a hillshade. Alternatlively, if you have Spatial Analysis (also pre 10), you can use the geoprocessing tool to create a new dataset that displays the hillshade. Printing these should work.
Hope this helps.

Robert,

Thanks for the reply. It seems to be an issue when plotting to a plotter and to a pdf. It almost seems like a memory issue too as I get lines in the plots when I plot them to pdfs and if I lower the dpi there are fewer lines. My computer is only 6 months old and it runs AutoCAD Civil 3D very well so I'm assuming I have enough computer. The plotter is old but I am spooling through the computer.

I guess you answered a question I didnt ask though. I should be able to plot it so I'll have to look into it more.

Thanks.

hello
I have a problem using arcgis 10. wanting to create a shading raster, the program runs well and gets me out the window of success in the realization of shading (Hillshade), but this does not show me nothing is visible on screen without values�??�??, as I can fix this. to change the symbols and design that I have too many unique values �??�??and can not show me anything
