PDF printing problem

[JEFFJW9BB]

Please see Drawing 1 on A3.2 in the attached file.  The annotations show in the cad file, they show in the print "thumbnail" but they do not show in the pdf.  It's like they are set to defpoints, but they are not.  

Please save me from going crazy

None of the xrefs are included...you may want to use the eTransmit command and create a zip file so it'll include all xrefs:

I attach the two relevant x referenced files to compliment the Drawing A1 file I sent yesterday.  Thank you.

Your annotation layers are set to NOPLOT, perhaps you are not aware how that feature works (or perhaps exists): change that and your plotting issue will go away-

This is super amazing.  I have never heard of it.  In fact, my Layers window does not even show any such feature, and I am running AutoCAD LT 2025.

I attach a screen shot of my Layers window which looks different than yours.  Why is that?

Thank you,

Jeff

You are on a MAC (never mentioned it before now?), I'm not (and did not know about MAC), so this is the wrong forum for MAC based AutoCAD regardless of variants.

Your docked LAYER palette columns spacing is so wide you most likely just have it off-screen, isn't that what this button does? Or at least undock it.

Read all about NOPLOT in your program's HELP, here is a link to it online

AutoCAD (and LT) for MAC posts go here, the folks over there might help you out if you still cannot find the noplot settings:

Hi,

for Autocad for Mac 

is the Autocad for Mac board the better choice.

Perhaps the column is turned off ,

turn it on by right click on a column title like [Color]
