Dwg to pdf

Anonymous — Sun, 08 Jan 2017 16:25:40 GMT

Hi,

A few days ago I asked if anyone might help me with an issue I was having converting DWG to PDF. I attached screen shots of the problem however, nothing suggested helped resolved my issue.

Either way, I have since ensured the correct layers are being used, set up the correct scale to print etc. When I first asked for help regarding this issue the problem I was experiencing was, I could see my drawing in preview but no text was showing; today I can see the drawing and text in preview however, when I convert it to PDF the text is showing but the drawing is not.....

Please refer to attachments.

Thanks in advance.

Katie

Hi,

I don't know why you create a new thread for the same question ... without any new info? It does not help you and it does not help the supporters, both have now to watch two threads.

The most important things that are missing are the drawing itself plus the PDF you get when you plot a layout from that drawing.

I used the snipping tool to take a screen shot.

Hi,

>> I used the snipping tool to take a screen shot.

I know, but the drawing file was requested. In the screenshot we can't select objects, we can't see layout-settings, we can't do anything with it to answer your questions/solve your issue.

Okay, I understand, sorry I didn't think to do this. Please refer to DWG attachment FYI.

Hi,

ok, please find attached the PDF I get after opening your drawing and plotting the current layout.

I'm not missing anything, do you miss any objects in my PDF? Is my PDF different to yours?

i think that the problem is not in the cad file because i printed the file as pdf ( dwg to pdf) and it was correctly printed as shown in pics attached

please see the pdf program for options of layers

Well, what is the problem then (if your PDF's are correct, but the question as far as I understood is your PDF's were not correct).

Sorry if I missed any info....

Hi Alfred,
Thank you.

If the DWG is correct how can the PDF be incorrect?

Hi,

The PDF I get is not incorrect, or do you see any problems?

I have not seen your PDF yet.
