Plotmaker to autocad - visible layer inconsistency issue

[Haneef Tayob]

Not sure if others have experienced the same or if someone has a suggestion.

I've notice some inconsistency when publishing a plotmaker layout to autocad format. I only want to save visible elements but notice this inconsistency:

1. If I choose the save option of "Paper space with full drawing contents" and "visible layers only", then the results are fine. No elements in invisible layers are saved.

2. If I choose the save options of "Model/Paper space with cropped drawing contents" and "visible layers only", then the results are not as expected. The elements in invisible layer are not displayed, but are saved (and can therefore be turned on and increase the file size).

Incidently The objects in the layout are .PMK's
