Printing issue - cached drawings?

Anonymous
Not applicable

I'm in the process of editing some old drawings, updating them, etc.  I have done about a dozen of them but one is giving me some trouble.  Basically the print output is not what I see in the Layout - it's the old drawing before I made edits.  It's pretty bizzare. I cannot see the old drawing anywhere in my layouts or models, but somehow it's printing old drawing as if they were cached somewhere.  It's also printing a portion of the full layout- the title block is cut-off.  Any ideas?  I admit, I did some cut&pastes from other sources, but this is just very weird.

Hi Robert,

I'm afraid without having at hand your drawing and the result ("cached" layout in PDF output) you get from it, nobody can help you to figure out the issue.

Maxim,

 

I decided to copy the model into a new layout/drawing and it printed just fine.  Part of me wants to know what happened, but I need to move on. Thank you.

HI @Anonymous,

 

I am glad you discovered that trick as it was the one I was going to suggest.  Next time, try running AUDIT on the file to see if it can find any drawing errors. Sometimes though, if a layout has some corruption, the quickest way to recover is to simply copy and paste into a new layout or drawing.
