austudent Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I'm creating a new project drawing and have x-ref'd my base drawing onto the sheet to be plotted. I can see the base drawing thru the viewport while in layout, but once I try and preview my plot the drawing inside the viewport is not visible. that is, I can see the preview of my sheet border & title block, but nothing within the viewport shows on the preview screen. What am I doing wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammie Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Hi @austudent, Welcome to the forum! It may be that some layers are set to no plot. From modelspace launch the layer manager. Under the layer properties theres a column for no plot - check that the layers aren't set to no plot. If that doesn't work change to paperspace. From paperspace double-click the viewport (press tab to cycle between vieports) and launch the layer dialog and check for the same. It may also be that the xref is on layer defpoints - this layer doesn't plot Regards Jammie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austudent Posted April 20, 2012 Author Share Posted April 20, 2012 Hi Jammie, That was exactly the problem - I didn't know the viewport layer was set not to plot. Thank you! Austudent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
