Images not printing - AutoCAD LT for mac

I am on AutoCAD LT for mac and referenced images that have previously printed without issue have stopped printing today. The linework prints fine. The images show up normally and I have opened older drawings with similar images that printed fine and now do not.

I have upgraded to macOS Sierra recently but I am not certain that it coincided with that update. Are others having this issue?

Are the reference files on NOPLOT layers?

Good idea, but no, I did check that.

Share the DWG if you can wit the non-plotting images in it.

I packaged it all up into the zip file attached. It includes my configurations and xrefs. Thanks for any help you can offer. I am really stuck on this. It's really one of the the core parts of my work.

I am convinced this is a mac os upgrade issue, related to its compatibility with AutoCAD LT for mac. The drawing I just uploaded to the last post printed correctly last week. This week, with no changes to it, it is not printing the image. The only change to my system that I can think of is the os upgrade. (And all the troubleshooting exercises I performed yesterday)

 

More troubleshooting this morning... I run windows through parallels for some specific design software that is an add-in to a different cad platform (I am not sure I should name it here). I have now opened that software package (and the same file I just uploaded) and the image shows up in the printing.

 

I do not see a choice but to go back and forth for generating figures and reports and hope that a fix is issued. This is cumbersome, but at least it will allow me to be productive until a fix for this is issued. I hope soon.

AutoCAD for Mac is not supported on macOS Sierra at the moment, that is the case of the issue you have.

Thank you for the input, but that's not very helpful.

Update:

 

I have uninstalled Sierra on a MacBook air that I use on the road. I have reinstalled El Capitan (the previous OS) and AutoCAD LT from 2013 that I did not anticipate needing anymore. I have left Sierra on my desktop as I enjoy the new features (and do not want to wipe that hard drive and start over). This has allowed me to work and produce figures, although it added the extra step of opening files from the laptop to plot. I look forward to the issue being addressed in updates, but for now, I can produce my drawings again.

 

This is clearly a mac OS update issue, so, update cautiously, I learned the hard way.

Any idea when it will be supported in Sierra as I am having the same issues?

No idea. Also, I don't know if it will be an Autodesk fix or a OS fix.

What bugs me is that my images will print in landscape mode but not portrait...any ideas for a fix or setting change for this.  In portrait mode, the image just appears in preview and print as one solid black square, works just fine if I toggle back to landscape...so frustrating!
