Problem with plotting with shaded views.
Hello everyone,
I am working with AutoCAD 2020 in the area of 3D
and have problems plotting drawings with shaded views,
see attachments / pictures.
Everything is displayed correctly in the layout and in the plot preview,
but the textures are then missing in the plot itself.
I have linked search paths for textures accordingly.
Plotters and printer drivers have already been updated.
Does anyone have any idea why this is?

Hi,
can you please try the same using an AutoCAD PDF plotter.
If the same happens then again then please:
- upload the dwg-file with this layout (including the images if used any own ones for texture mapping)
- upload the PDF you get as result
- start command _ABOUT and show us a screenshot from this dialog
... so we can try this on our systems.

Hi,
>> but the textures are then missing in the plot itself.
That is what I see when I open your PDF, textures are visible!
So for me this looks like the plot contains textures, what may I have misunderstood?

Hello Alfred,
correct, if I print the drawing as a PDF, everything is taken over
correctly, then I can also print out the drawing (PDF) on the plotter
or on the printer including the textures - color representation.
But that means I always have to make the detour first,
then commit to print.
I cannot create the color-fast print directly from AutoCAD.
The preview always fits, but printing is without textures.
I also tested this at my home yesterday evening on a local printer,
but also with the result that the textures are missing when printed,
only the contour lines, i.e. visible edges, are always printed.
greeting
Dirk

Hi,

Cool (not really), I can confirm that printing to AutoCAD PDF ... shows all well, while printing to any real output device (or e.g. PDFCreator) does not show the rendered version. I would say bug (as the preview looks different to the real output). Please forward it to Autodesk.
A workaround you can use is to not use a Drawing-View object for this textured representation, instead use a normal viewport, set it's visual style to "Realistic" as shown in the attached sample.

Hello Alfred,
once forwarded the problem directly to Autodesk.
Let's see what comes with it.
Thank you very much.
