Ok, so I have had this problem for a few years now but after searching and reading many many posts about this problem I still haven't found a definitive answer. I have created a wipeout for equipment tags in my drawings and when I create a brand new one in a drawing and then copy it to any of the tags I need to bring on top of objects they work fine when I either publish or plot my drawing to either a file or one of our plotters. Then I save the drawing and when it is next opened that day or the next the wipeouts show up in the drawing but when I plot to file or plot to any of our plotters they do not show up at all. The frames show up in the plot when wipeout frame is on but that is it. The only way i can get them to work again in the same drawing is to delete all of the wipeouts, purge, audit and then create a new wipeout. This works but then stops working after a couple of plots. I have tried the Adobe PDF option and they work fine so i think I have it narrowed down to the PDF.pc3 not working. Now I can understand if it didn't work from the first plot but why do the wipeouts plot perfectly using DWG To PDF.pc3 then stop plotting correctly after a few plots. And I do have the merge control set to Lines Overwrite, and the wipeouts are on a separate layer that plots to 255,255,255. I have seen this problem on the forum as far back as 2006 so this is a known problem but I would have hoped that it would have been fixed by now. If anyone has any magic remedy it would be much appreciated.
