Problem printing drawings in pdf
Recently I'm not able to print drawings when the view is Shaded with Edges. Printing a very simple drawing takes more than 10 to 15 minutes and then a whole black page is printed.
Save as Pdf & Microsoft print to PDF are the same too.
This is what task manager shows during print :

If the view is anything else than Shaded with Edges, everything is OK.
Is there anything I can do to resolve this?
Thanks for any kind of advice.

Re: Problem printing drawings in pdf
What do your settings look like here?
Well....apparently I cannot attach images right now.
So...I mean what do your setting look like when you go to
Options-->System Options-->Export-->PDF

Hrmm.. Not sure what happened, but when I click on it, it says that the image was deleted.

Sorry I was updating the image. Tried to use jpg instead of png.DanPihlaja wrote: ↑Tue Feb 01, 2022 10:36 am Hrmm.. Not sure what happened, but when I click on it, it says that the image was deleted.
I think it's ok now.
By the way, it seems that jpg files are not allowed recently.
If you want to upload an image, you have to save it as png.
Thanks again.

Bump your DPI up to 600 and try again.

Still the same.
Thanks for trying to help.
Re: Problem printing drawings in pdf
Try to set the drawing view to High Quality first. Did that help?

Glad it worked. If you want to find out the main differences between draft and high quality settings, read this article:

Re: Problem printing drawings in pdf
I had more success using SaveAs --> PDF than with printing. Don't know if newer versions are different.
