How to Print Bing Live Maps in Layout

[Anonymous]

Hi there,

How do I print drawings with such maps. I cannot seem to find the way to make it print in the layout. Otherwise it is a great new feature!

Hello

Welcome to the Autodesk/AutoCAD Forums !

The good news with 2014 : Bing Maps !

The bad news with 2014 : you can't print any Bing Maps !!

Sorry, Bye, Pat

Hi Bronek,

Unfortunately it is against the terms of services i'm afraid.

Hi Pat, Hi Duncan,

Thx for your input! And such a shame. I mean I can imagine it still being usefull, but what kind of feature introduction that is??? Its worse than a trial...

In a program used to draw for vaious purposes, you introduce a great enhancement but... it doesn't print nor save. And by the way when you use geo-location the live ribbon of that feature stays highlighted forever... Even when I am doing sth else. It is like once I made a hatch the icons stay forever... etc.

Anyways THX and greets,

Bronek

Open BING maps and down near the lower left corner you will notice a couple of hyperlinks, one of which is "LEGAL".  Select that and read through that document.  The issue is with Bing, not necessarily with Autodesk.

Now that 2015 is out, Bing Maps can now be caputured for printing.  I tried to look up the help file on this but could not find it but then again it was late.  What is the licensing requirements to print on layouts given this new tool?  Is it part of our subscription license that we can print it or will we have to setup an account with Bing Maps in order to stay in compliance?
