Export to to PDF failing miserably

[KristinLindberg]

This is what happens when I export from .dwg to .pdf.

Any suggestions?

Update: I have since (finally) discovered that though all my layers are correct when I press "export," somehow some of my 3d Solids move to the defpoints layer, which cause them to not plot. If I go back to my mspace, change the objects *back* to my layer (TF_3D), then re-export as the same file name and location, it works.

I'm guessing this is a bug that needs fixing.

Is anyone else experiencing this? Would be great to know it's not just us.

Hello,

Is this issue drawing specific? If you try a simple geometry, a dim and a viewport, then export to PDF, do you face the same issue?

It would be much helpful if you could share your sample drawing or reproducible steps to zhiyuan.su@autodesk.com for further look.

No, it's not drawing-specific. It happens whenever we try to export to PDF.

Hi,

When you export to PDF, what ways do you take to do it in AutoCAD? use EXPORTPDF command, plotter, or any 3rd party tool?

Also, it would be helpful if you provide the exact step to replicate the issue or a recorded video that would also help?

exportpdf

this problem was solved with the service pack 2 update. 🙂

Glad to hear that.
