Hello! I have attached some images in a file but for some reason theyre not appearing when Im trying to plot a pdf. I also tried doing it by selecting a window and also changing the RASTERPERCENT, RASTERDPI and RASTERTHRESHOLD but still didnt work.

Questions:

1) What version of AutoCAD?

2) Did you install latest AutoCAD updates?

3) Are you plotting to pdf or directly to your printer?

4) If pdf, which pdf device are you using ?

Try the following:

1. Download & install the latest:

2. Plot PDF using one of AutoCAD's built-in PDF devices like DWG to PDF.pc3 or:

3. Your uploaded drawing did not include any of the images. You should use the eTransmit command to zip the images along with the dwg and upload that.

After downloaded & extracted all your images I did have to rename one of them that had this strange character instead of a dash:

Then I set Layout1 current and entered PLOT command.

There was no plotter selected so I selected DWG To PDF.pc3

Without changing anything else I clicked on Preview

Successfully plotted the PDF (attached) with all images shown

I did NOT encounter any problems with images not showing up in the PLOT to AutoCAD's built-in DWG To PDF.pc3 device.

My recommendation still is to sign into your Autodesk account and make sure you download & install the latest 2025.1.1 update.

Any reason to select Legacy Wireframe instead of As displayed?

@kristiqna66 Also should work with Plot style table set to None instead of acad.ctb

Hi I am having the same issue but my images do not show up when I plot a sheet set, they only show up if I plot each sheet. Can someone help me please.
