AutoCAD 2022 OEM (Microvellum) SSM - Multiple published sheets not holding to Xref layer properties. (No print)

Gbalcom — Tue, 06 Dec 2022 19:40:15 GMT

I've been debugging an issue with "no print" layers printing all morning. I have "no print" layers in my model space drawing. When I create a sheet, it's brought into the paperspace layout as an xref. If I plot a sheet to PDF, it's fine. When I publish my drawing set as a PDF, the first page with an instance of the no print layer will work correctly (not print that layer). But any subsequent instance in the drawing set will print anyways. I've tested this and it seems consistent, even when changing the pages that print. For example, if Page 4,5,and 6 are published, Page 5 won't work correctly. But, if Pages 5, 6 and 7 are published, it will.

What is the solution for this? I'm running AutoCAD 2022 OEM (Microvellum). Thanks.

Turn off background publishing.

BTW Microvellum support forums (like these, but over there) is over here (OEM have features removed/added) https://community.microvellum.com/portal/en/community/

Support from the company is over here https://www.microvellum.com/contact

Thank you. I forgot to mention that I did have Background publishing off for the last few tests. I do use that community frequently. Are you an MV user?

No, support for that is on another website (and software vendor) where you need to seek out assistance.

Good to know you have background publishing turned off.

Bug reproduced and reported to Autodesk. Workaround is to use background publishing.
