I just install the basejump today.
It works, but i have problems to print a map in Paperspace Layout.
The bing maps are not visible, only black background for arial or blue for road..
Printing out of the modelspace is no Problem, evenen when it takes a long time to generate the gis layer.
Does anyone have a solution how it is possible to print a map out of Paperspace Layout including the aial?
Thanks Kathy

Thanks for identifying a problem. As a technology preview, it sounds like the data gets inserted into model space but does not carry over to your layouts. This is something that would be addressed if the technology advances from the preview stage. Thanks for the test case.

Just starting with Project Basejump today.
Encountered the same problem with the imagery disapearing from a layout while in paperspace.
Found a workaround...with the viewport locked open the viewport to model and plot from there.
I was successful plotting to a color copier and to dwf.
Tried to upload a dwf sample but the file size, 8mb, exceeds the limit.
The hard copy from the dwf prints suprisingly well.

I have no problem printing from Layouts. I just printed out like 20 some sheets. I have to do each sheet one at a time. Publish layouts doesn't work as the imagery doesn't get re-queried and I wind up with unusable sheets.
