Xref PDF not Printing
Xref PDF not Printing
(OP)
I believe I have done this successfully before so I'm not sure what the problem is. I beleive I have Here is the situation.
AutoCAD 2013 Windows XP
I have a drawing (Drawing A) that contains a PDF (using PDF attach) with text over the PDF.
I then have this drawing Xref'd into another drawing (Drawing B). When I print this drawing (Drawing B). The text prints but the pdf does not.
In Drawing A the pdf is on the 0 layer.
In Drawing B the pdf is on 0 layer.
The 0 layer is not frozen and is set to print.
The xref in drawing B is set to overlay and relative (I tried absolute).
I can see the pdf in drawing B.
PDFrame is set to 2 in dwg A and B.
Any Ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

I understand there is now a pdf underlay feature in autocad 2013 that started with the 2010 version which is supposed to have more advanced features.
Good luck.

The PDF is an underlay, I beleive. (using PDFAttach)

You may have to redo the copy and paste of the PDF file into drawing B.

First I will confirm the same setup works in an older version then maybe I will try to post in an the Autocad forum.

I've used it before so I'm not sure how it has turned 'bad'.
