Layer not printing

A layer on a viewport is visible. All looks good, but this particular layer and only this one on only one viewport does not show up in Print Preview and does not print to pdf. Help.

Share your DWG file here, point out the element, we'd all gladly assist from way over here.

OR...

How well are you aware that a layer that is totally visible can be set to never print in AutoCAD? Or it can have assigned to it an "invisible" override color when it prints in a viewport. You can investigate those too.

Thanks. The problem layer is in all the roof framing drawings, the
dimensions and verbiage as you can see below. I only noticed it today on
this particular drawing, but haven't checked others. Not sure how the layer
would be an invisible override color and don't know where to check.
Everything is checked on in the layer manage list.

I didn't go deep enough and indeed, that layer, for some reason, was showing not to print. Silly me. Thanks.

Where do you toggle NOT TO PRINT?

for example, yes

But it doesn't matter "where" you change layerproperties, they are *global* in a file.

Model,Paper or floated mspace

 

@jeffV5BW8 

Inside the layerproperties-manager, command: Layer 

One column is PLOT, what means: Plot(able) yes/no

@jeffV5BW8 See the  image below. The greyed out printer will not print. That's standard for the DEFPOINTS layer.

The two printers with the red symbol on them will not print. To toggle on or off you just need to click on the printer icon

Yes, you're right, these options can be set in any space actually.
