Hi all, this is my first time on the forum.

This is my problem:

I realized a 2d drawing from a part with quotas and exported in PDF extension.

On monitor I can whatch the PDF correctly but when print it the lines about construction part are missing.

I can see only quotas and rows.

Can you help me?

Thank you very much and have a nice day.

Hi Clint and thanks for your reply.

I attached some images of my printed drawing like example.

You can see in the printer preview that the lines are all on the 2D drawing, but after printing are missing.

Note: in the bottom on the left you there is a "detailed view" from a part of drawing that is visible.....very strange!

Is it possible that I need to change some setup for the export lines in PDF format?

Hi @Anonymous

Have you tried printing with the line weights turned on?

Which PDF printer are you using? Is it "Microsoft Print to PDF", or something else?

What graphics card and driver are you using?

Mmmmmm.....probably my problem is the "lineweight".

When I back home, I will try this.

For now thank you very much!!!

I'll let you know soon.

Hi Clint, in my properties the lineweights was turned on.
Probably when I saved the pdf file some day ago, the option was turned off.
Is it possible that during a new release installation this option is ON for default?

Altough, thank you for the support ;O)

Hi @Anonymous

No problem, I'm happy to help.

The dialogue should remember your last used settings. A new version of Fusion should not change this.
