Part of Drawing Not Printing
Part of Drawing Not Printing
(OP)
I have been using Draftsight for some months now and was doing a drawing for an operating manual when I ran into a printing problem which has me stumped. After I upgraded to V1R1.3 I found it to be quite buggy, so uninstalled and went back to V1R1.2. As far as I know the activation code is still OK but most of the drawing was done while I was disconnected from the internet.
Now I find that with this particular drawing any lines, text etc. show up OK on the screen but will not print, either to PDF or a printer. Content that was done earlier on the same drawing prints OK. New drawings and others done previously print OK as well.
I have tried copying into a new drawing (via Windows), changing layers etc. etc. but to no avail. Any suggestions on how I can recover this drawing would be most welcome because at this stage it looks like 6-8 hours of redrawing will be required.
Many thanks.

I print to a PDF file to transfer to another computer without CAD. Printing to a PNG file works well too if you choose a large raster size (eg. 1600x1200 pixels). PNG files can be inserted into Word documents etc. like JPGs.
With regard to my original problem I have now redone the drawing and put it down to experience.
