AutoCAD product version P.61.0.0 AutoCAD 2019.0.1
Bluebeam Revu x64 version 2017.0.40
I don't believe it's bluebeam as the only thing that has changed is my AutoCAD version. I was using 2018 and it was working fine with all the updates. But since I've updated to 2019, this problem showed up. What I do is edit arch floor plans and highlight and put views on areas my company is building things for. Bluebeam is very helpful for editing the mess out of these and after I'm done, I flatten the drawing in Bluebeam to ensure no issues. Anyways in AutoCAD, I import my PDF I made by grabbing the file in explorer and dropping it into place in AutoCAD, then clip the pdf and scale it to fit in my Layout. I don't use viewports for this as it's not needed.
My issue is that when I print straight to printer or publish all my layouts into a pdf for my send out. The final outcome shows everything under what I made! See images Issue.PNG and Correct.PNG.
As a attempted workaround. In bluebeam I even made a copy of the floorplan and while it's flattened, I used erased content to cause everything to be permanently flattened and treat like I didn't do anything to the original. But it didn't fix it, same outcome.
The only workaround I can see is to erase content beneath each of these objects and space things out more. But a on previous project, it still did weird things like turn off lines and my highlights for no apparent reason. See Issue2.PNG attachment.
PS: YES it displays correctly while in AutoCAD. It only does it after/during prints.
Edit 10:49 AM East coast: Plot Preview shows nothing wrong either.
Sigh.... I went and opened AutoCAD 2018 and printed with that as a workaround. Now it's doing it there. Before it didn't do it in 2018. (Same computer btw) During a update to 2019, does it update any shared files between the 2? Or is 2019 a separate install still?
I assumed hotfixes were installed through the Autodesk Desktop App when it updated. I'll give this a try this.
Hotfix applied. It unfortunately didn't fix the issue. 😞
edit: sorry for the double post reply. Won't let me delete the extra now.
