I usually export using a marque selection, setting the px/inch number to the resolution I have set for the sheet the viewport lives on, paying attention the the pixel count numbers next to my cursor as I select what I want to export, and entering that number into the corresponding pixel dimension input box of the export window, and save. Any regeneration issues would not, I DON'T THINK?, affect my image export. But both files have issues with viewports on sheet layers, setup through cameras, which render fine on the screen. I often find that I assumed there was a glitch and a tool didn't work, and so reused the tool, only to find out later that it had placed my object way off my screen. Thanks Pat - but as for the objects at a distance.well I won't say there isn't. I can't remember, but I may not have used a common template file to start. But, I don't think I had used that texture for anything in the first file that had issues, and I DID use that texture in the most recent file that is working fine.īut you have me thinking.the most recent file that does not have any issue is for a different client, and a new file setup. But of those I can only think of one that I use a bunch - a "porcelain" texture I often use for a floor when I am rendering a furniture piece - and is what I applied to floor in the file you checked out for me. I appreciate the continued diagnosis.Ĭommon textures - There are likely a dozen, maybe 2 dozen, in the files that are common, of course, because they are both from the same template.

#AUTOCAD PRINTING BLANK PDF#
Screen capture of a Published PDF in the PDF program: And note, the image shows blank in Vectorworks as it publishes the pdf, then reappears after the pdf is created. I don't generate images all that often, so it isn't a huge deal - just an annoyance. Until that happens, I have to assume it is me or my setup, and I have the work around. So if someone else has these issues, maybe it is a vectorworks thing. again, I can export the file to a VW 2019 version, open it in that, render the image and export or publish with no issues and no other changes.no scale changes, nothing. I have tried color, black and white, different PDF writers, and, again, simply exporting the image.Īnd.
#AUTOCAD PRINTING BLANK WINDOWS 10#
It has only cropped up recently. This is why I asked if I was the only one having the issue.īut it is happening on a Windows 10 Desktop with an AMD processor, as well as a Windows 10 laptop with Intel core i7 processor. It may be something in the files or something on my end. I am not saying it is a vectorworks issue in general. This has happened to me in two different files now. The image is rendered correctly in a viewport in a page layout. Just to clarify.I am not able to EXPORT an image, nor publish a rendered image. I just thought I would see if it is likely just something with my file, or if it is more common. the sculpture itself and background are all image props. The model is just a simple sculpture base. The file with the issue is different only in that much of the rendered image is actually image props.
#AUTOCAD PRINTING BLANK UPDATE#
I finally saved the file back to 2019, and was able to open it in 2019 and export the same image / publish the image, with no changes other than a viewport update - no problems. I opened a different file with a model and I can export images of it fine. I couldn't figure it out. I checked for an object in front of the image, layer and class visibility settings. This may still be some setting or something that I haven't figured out, but I restarted VW, I restarted the computer. It generates the rendered image on screen as expected. In 2020 the exported image, and the image in a published PDF page were blank - no error messages, or anything out of the ordinary. Has anyone had an issue with being able to export an image in VW2020? - up to date with service packs.
