Survey Node Symbols Won't Print XREF

I've xref'd in a topographic survey, and I can't get the node symbols to print. They're visible in the workspace but disappear when plotting. 

 

They're not on a no-plot layer, the color isn't incorrectly set, and annotative styles are turned on. It prints correctly from the source file but not as a xref. Any suggestions?

 

EDIT: Thought I'd add these symbols are set as part of the cogo point style setting.

Having a similar plotting issue when plotting in C3D 2024.

 

In C3D 2024, the cogo point tables won't plot. Everything is correct in model space and in the viewports.

 

When looking at the print preview, both tables just show a block in the upper left hand corner, like this:

The plot is being plotted to PDF using the out of the box "DWG To PDF.pc3" plotter.

 

When plotting the exact same file in C3D 2023, there are no issues. Plots correctly.

 

Any thoughts?

Hi @Pointdump,

 

I found out the file was having plotting problems because my design file was created in 2008 using Eaglepoint while the new topo was created in Civil3D. (We're reviving a recession-era abandoned subdivision.)

 

When I started a new C3D design file and transferred over the old design data, I was able to xref the topo in without plotting issues. 

 

I think the old base CAD wasn't recognizing the cogo symbols.
