Three-Dimensional PowerPoint Graph Charts Plot Incorrectly

ID: Q80509

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows versions 3.0, 3.0a, 3.1, 3.11
Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows, versions 2.0, 3.0

SYMPTOMS

Three-dimensional (3-D) PowerPoint Graph charts do not print correctly to Hewlett-Packard (HP) plotters or to printers that use this driver. Edges of the 3-D objects are hidden on the display, and when printed to other output devices, are not hidden when plotted.

CAUSE

This problem is due to the HP plotter driver not being able to handle hidden lines. Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

When a plotter is the output device for your chart, you should not choose a 3-D chart type.
