Fix Nested Masking Region Print Issue

Fix Nested Masking Region Print Issue

Masking regions that are part of a nested family (such as a valve symbol) appear correctly on the screen, however do not mask when printed.

 

The Autodesk solution was to print everything as a raster image instead of vector, however print quality, especially PDF quality is extremely reduced and this is not an acceptable in a professional environment.

 

This issue has been going on for several years and documented may times on this forum.

Please resolve this issue and provide a fix for the past several Revit releases.

This is a huge issue with a lot of MEP content that multiple companies are running into. Raster mode printing is not a solution, as too many clients are demanding vector PDFs. (Aside from the quality and file size issues, of course.)

Per Mr. Bell's comment, raster printing is less and less of an option particularly if you're trying to make use of BIM 360 features where Raster pretty much makes measure tools useless.

I’m pretty sure this issue has finally been resolved in 2020, however what Autodesk doesn’t seem to understand is that, as an MEP consulting firm, we are at the liberty of the architect when it comes to version usage...  At the moment I still have several hundred jobs activity running in Revit 17, 18 & 19.  Every one of them still has this masking region printing issue.     Autodesk needs to release updates or patches to resolve is issue in legacy versions.  It will be two more years until all of our projects are in 2020 or newer.
