Exporting to pdf dimensions disappearing

[Anonymous]

Hi I am trying to export to pdf and my dimensions won't show up. I have made sure it is in its own layer and set to plot in the layer state manager and that the lineweight is at 0.05mm. I have also tried both directly exporting to pdf and using the plot command first but can't seem to get them to show up, any help is appreciated thanks in advance. I will also attach the document if it will help.

Don't use color 250 for your dimensions layers, that's a faint gray color: use color 7 instead.
You have a possible future problem with color 255 in one of your layers too, that is the faintest gray of them all.

Color 7 is "black" when it comes to printing: there is no need to see "black" on screen honestly, this is not paper drafting anymore.

Hello thanks for that, I have now changed to colour to colour 7 but dimensions still not showing up after being exported to pdf

Hi @Anonymous ,

The dimensions in your drawing are on Layer with "Do not plot" property enabled:

"Plot" property may be hidden in the Layers Palette - right-click on Layers list header to enable it:

My bad for not noticing it earlier, you missed it as well, your DIMENSIONS layer is set to NOPLOT.
