Thank you for the answer kparmarBCVPL. But i wanna have the link visable....on top like in Revit. In pdf is shows not on top anymore. Setting the link in a workset and put the workset off doesn't show the link at all anymore. This is not what I wanna.

Check if you are printing vector in one and raster in the other. I've seen that have some affect on printing.

Refer to folowing threads:

What do you mean?  Revit doesn't Export Projects to PDF.

Hi, no export is working, only the result on the pdf export is not the same as the original in Revit.

Thank you, that brings us a little step closer. Indeed with vector printing the link is on top. To make sure I can use vector printing i had to set the "Display options" to "Hidden Line".

 

Next problem shows up now, on the pdf the link is not transparent, but in Revit it is. So still my pdf is not the same as my Revit view.

 

Do you/anyone has suggestion for solving this?

Solved, for some reason it started to work if I set "Raster printing" on. Before i set it to "Vector printing" and then a pop-up apeared it ll print at "Raster printing". Probably Revit prints than only 1 view in raster and rest still in vector. By puting "Raster printing" on everything is printed raster. What in this case gives the right result.

 

Thank you all for help
