Sheet Printing

[Chris_W]

Hello --

 

I'm currently using Spotlight 2019 to draw a special event. My drawing has plan and front view PDFs, with production elements such as lighting, audio, staging, etc... 

 

I have a sheet setup with two viewports, one of which is rendered in OpenGL. When I print the sheet (or export a PDF, image, etc...), the OpenGL viewport is wonky. It only shows the PDF, none of the other elements I have put in. Thoughts?

Chris, if you could post a file it might be helpful. Your issue could be caused by at least a few things and guessing without looking at the file will be a shot in the dark at best, at least for me.

Hi Peter -- 

 

Thanks for the response. I want to be careful about uploading this particular file, but I'm happy to share a screen video...

 

It's weird, because some the elements are there, and then they disappear. The top viewport is OpenGL, the bottom is wireframe..

I would need more info to diagnose this. There are too many variables to sort without poking around in the files.

No worries, Peter. Thanks, anyway!

 

I ended up figuring out the problem. A friend of mine suggested publishing instead of exporting PDFs. I tried that, and noticed other OpenGL rendered viewports were working fine. Compared properties and found 'Project Screen Objects' had been checked on the viewports that were not exporting properly...
