Placed drawing problem while printing

Anonymous — Fri, 26 May 2023 00:36:17 GMT

In quite a few of my PlotMaker layout books I get an error message when I try to print, saying there are problems with placed drawings, and directing me to check the drawing usage pallete, but theres no errors there. This problem doesn't affect anything really, except it's an extra mouse click when I print, but I'd just like to know what is causing this... any one have an idea?

cheers,
dan

Usually when I see that it's because a drawing is outdated, but that does not appear to be your problem.

I'm not really sure what else this could be

If you have library loading errors you will also get that message.

I often get this when I have opened an LBK an not needed to update views (because they are already up-to-date.) If you save your PLN again and re-update your drawings in LBK you won't get the message.

This could be the case, because I know the .pln has library loading errors, I'll take the time to fix this and see if this resolves the issue.

I'll try this option out as well.

This problem really doesn't matter, like I said, but it's just one of those things were I go "why?" and my curiousity gets the best of me, so I have to resolve it

Erika is correct. There is a library reference in your .pln file that is incorrect, or broken.
