Hello

I have a problem with saving a PDF using print reference becouse in archicad i cant see the doors in the back using trace reference but when i try to save it directly from the view (not a problem until now) the doors are not showing in the PDF...

Hi,

Have you checked the trace and reference settings? Are the doors part of a curtain wall? Maybe that is unchecked.

Hello 

I have checked that already, the doors ar from walls (not curtain walls). I have checked If it's from the model view option, if it's from de renovation tool...

A similar issue has been reported 14 years ago in this thread: https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Trace-Reference-Printing-issue/td-p/140603

Maybe it be that the bug hasn't been patched and the issue is because some rotated views. 

I can't think of any other solutions - if the doors show in the traced viewport but not on the PDF.

 this is how it's saved in pdf using just the marquee of the archicad View and the print reference option

 and this is how it saves all the PDFs if i try to move the door (for al the doors in walls it's the same thing)

Have you tried changing the floor plan display from the door settings?

Does this happen to all the doors or just some?

I dont know If it's a bug but for me it's kind of the opposite of what it's described there

Like until now it was working fine but after i made a worksheet where i placed a dwg from a planer and i tried using a floor plan as a trace reference with the view rotated in the worksheet (any angle) i get in the saved PDF using the marquee and print reference option everything except for the doors representation (i get the opening in the walls but i dont have the actual doors with the marker symbol)

I have it set in symbol (tried to change it but it's the same). It's hapening to all the doors in walls (not those in curtain walls).

I also have it controled by MVO and it's set as full detailed and opened...
