Inventor Drawing View Overlapping causing color to disappear

 For some reason, when in the drawing in Inventor (Image Attached [ Inventor drawing - In Inventor]), the overlapping views look fine and the views are shaded how they should. But once I print it to PDF or straight to a printer, the areas of the views that overlap cause the lower level views to lose color (Image Attached [Inventor Drawing - Printed to PDF]).

    I'm not sure if this is a bug, or a setting issue. But it's been like this for a few weeks and I'm not sure what to do.

This may be caused by the "Deferupdate" of the drawing.

Is this the case for you?

I am not sure what the 'Deferupdate' is

I have the same problem.
It's clearly a bug (I've been working with Inventor for 20 years and this problem has never occurred).
I haven't found any way around it.

Hi! This is a known bug (INVGEN-81003). It has been fixed in our internal build. We are in the process of integrating the fix to the coming 2025.3 update.

Many thanks!

You can avoid this for now by saving the print to PDF and print it from there.

Not the right way, you have to export to pdf. not microsoft print pdf.

Here what I did, I go to file> export>PDF 

then save it to my desk top. and it works, no discoloration.

Let me know if this work for you.
