Are these layers Set to "No Plot" in Layer Manager?

Is it an entire Xref etc. that won't plot?

What specifically won't appear? contours or?

Are you using the "Include Layer information" option in the pc3 when creating the PDF?

Are you using the Drawing to PDF PC3 file or the Adobe plotter driver? I have known things to dissapear in the plot or lines to turn into curves when using the Adobe version.

 

Use the AutoCad plot driver always.

I am a bit confused about what you are asking here.

 

You have placed a red box around the layer names.

 

I am assuming that these are not all the layers in your drawing.

 

the PDF will list only those layers that have objects visible in your plot and not all the layers in your drawing. This list is to control on/off functionality for the plot and not the drawing. Therefore layers that are not in the plot are not in the list.

 

Is that the answer you are looking for?

Hello

as you said the layers are not all appear in my pdf drawing in the red rectangle although some of them are already draw, i can see some lines and points but i can't see their layers,

i try to figure out what the reason that some objects i can see their layers and other objects i can not see, although all the layers are ON in the visibility option .

thanks
