Publishing Trace References

GREJX — Mon, 30 Dec 2024 16:34:28 GMT

Hi. I have a trace reference loaded in my layout. I have selected the correct Document Options (print reference) however when I publish, the image falls behind other objects and isn't clearly visible. It looks great in my layout, and I have selected 'Reference on Top'. Attached are screenshots showing layout vs PDF.

Appreciate any help!

Reference on top may simply be an on screen setting, and doesn't actually affect how the view publishes.

Can you achieve the same by overlaying two views in a layout?

Bring the one you want to the front with display order and set the background of the drawing as transparent.

Barry.

Thanks Barry this makes sense. I will give this a go.

It can help to save the trace reference as a view and that gives you a chance to change the layers, pen colours and use graphic overrides
