No Steel In Base or Projected Views

I have a steel model I created w/ ASD. I made a base & projected views but the steel does not show up. The solids I extruded are there but no steel. Any ideas on how to fix this?

 

Thanks.

I did that. It shows up in the "Edition layout" but that is the only one. And only one group will show at a time. Does it not work in other layouts?

Thank you,

Activate any Layout in ASD Printouts Object Inspector

Go Position tab, right click ... and Add as a block to current printout

Thank you for your help.

 

That's a lot of work just to get it to view. It would be much easier (& user friendly) if it just worked like a viewport.

 

Currently I am the only person in our building (of over 800) using ASD. Most everyone else is using Pro Steel. I don't think I can recommend anyone switch to this. It's too cumbersome, no support (or concern) from AutoDesk and the online help is a joke.

 

The 3D model is pretty to look at, but is not practical for construction drawings. I'll just go back to regular AutoCad.
