I have two sheet files (files which reference other drawings/data and contain multiple layouts) which do not plot correctly in a batch. Upon opening the files all profile surfaces (existing and proposed) do not display. I run SYNCHRONIZEREFERENCES to make the profiles show up. I would love a solution to that, but that's a different topic. So now the profiles show up, in all tabs and even in a plot preview. However if I try to run the Publish command and print all tabs to either .pdf, .dwf, or the plotter the profiles do not show up. I must go to each and every tab and plot the sheets individually. Any insight would be appreciated.
Yes, two pipe networks are drefed into each of the two sheet files. I want to display the networks and label them in the sheet files.
Spot on Jay. Thats exactly how it's setup.
Where did I go wrong?
I suppose I could work around it by copying and exploding the profiles, so much for being dynamic.
Jay,
So in your experience the solution is more of a workflow adjustment than anything I can do at this point. In the future make sure each drawing with Civil 3D data is separate from drawings which contain traditional linework. That way I can avoid drefing data from a drawing which is also xrefed.
Would you say that's more or less correct?
