surface in cross section won't print

I have a drawing sheet with 4 cross section views. Nothing fancy

1. If I print the sheet from SSM, on one cross section view, the surfaces won't print.

2. If I open the sheet and print it, everything prints fine.

The other cross section views in this sheet are referencing the same surfaces as the problem cross section view.

 

The plan set has 3 sheets of cross sections and only one cross section view in this one particular sheet is giving me this issue.

 

Anyone have any ideas???

I attached a couple of screen shots for visuals.

Thanks.

Are you perhaps printing to a PDF file? We found that same issue when printing to Adobe PDF. When we changed our pagesetup to use the DWGtoPDF it works well.

Yes I am.

I will try the DWGtoPDF and see what happens.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Created a page setup for both DWGtoPDF and AcroPLOT Pro.

I tried printing both through SSM and I had the same issue. Surfaces in one viewport don't print.

I even made a copy of the drawing, deleted the other viewports on the sheet and left the problem viewport. Still won't print the surfaces.

This is so bizarre.

I've compared the properties of that viewport to other viewports in that sheet and nothing is different.

How about recreating the viewport? Sometimes they become corrupt.

Just tried recreating the viewport and still doesn't print.

What's confusing me is why would it work if I print directly from the sheet, but not work when I print from SSM.

Both page setups in each case are exactly the same.
