viewport over pdf layout won't show the model space

Anonymous — Fri, 01 Jun 2018 11:49:13 GMT

I inserted a pdf underlay to my paper space and opened a view port on part of it, yet when the pdf underlay is in the back the view port won't show anything. when I moved the viewport away from the pdf background it shows its content, any suggestions?

thank you

A PDF underlay (at position of viewport for modelspace) should never in paperspace,

insert it in modelspace, i think that the best way.

Independet of that:

Your Pagesetup have one property: Plot paperspace last.

If that is checked, your PDFunderlay in paperspace will cover all modelspace objects..

Hi,

>> ...yet when the pdf underlay is in the back the view port won't show anything. <<

This is Normal ... pdf file and viewport are two separately CAD items that will one of them cover the other in the way that you follow . putting pdf file in the Model space is the right way to avoid any unexpected problems .
