Instruments disappear when exporting to PDF

[martymcgee]

I have been working on a light plot and everything is fine in Vectorworks but when I export to a PDF file, the 6 Mac Auras on the plot disappear. The legend labels are there and all the other lights are fine just no Auras. I have checked to make sure they are in the same layer and class as other lights and I have refreshed the instruments. I have even replaced the instruments but still no luck. Has anyone had this problem?

Thanks

What program are you using to view the PDF? Have you tried viewing it in a different program? I have some PDFs that will only display properly using the actual Acrobat viewer available as a free download from the Adobe web site.

Thanks for your reply

I’m going to work on this more today. I don’t think it’s the PDF reader since I’m using Acrobat Pro. I’m pretty sure it’s something with the particular symbol I’m using. If I replace the Auras with source 4s they show up fine. I’m going to go search for a different Aura symbol.

I will post if successful or if the problem persists

Went to the VW user libraries and got a new Mac Aura symbol. Once I replaced it everything works fine now.

Always some interesting things happening 😉
