I have a drawing with one viewport. In model space I have attached a jpg. If I draw a line over the xref in model space, it looks fine. When I switch to paper space, the line does not show, but if I plot to a pdf, it does. If I draw on paperspace, above the viewport, the line does not show.
The jpg is black lines on a white background. If I draw a line across it in model space, it shows up as the correct color (in this case it's red) but when I switch to paperspace it turns white and is invisible over the image.
I tried to change the display order, but no win. I checked the properties of the line and the xref itself and it all looks good. Everything is set "by layer".
Naturally, I'm frustrated. So is my boss.
Hey Acemon,
Initially I thought it might be related to a viewport override setting, but the fact that it plots to PDF fine throws that idea out the window 😛
If you haven't already, I would suggest:
- Remove all VP Override settings
- Running AUDIT in your drawing
- Try it with a differenti mage type (.png, .gif, .bmp etc...)
- Run through the same steps in a new drawing (maybe even from a different template)
Let me know if that helps or not! 😄
