Trace Reference Printing issue

[Anonymous]

Hello!

I have a strange printing issue that started about a week ago. I have gone through the program and cannot figure this one out!

I'm working on a site plan and I have the civil engineer's topo DWG as a Trace Reference behind it. For months, I had no issues with printing the site plan with the topo as a reference behind it. No issues printing with ANY reference, for that matter.

Now: In my site plan (a story) if I use a worksheet as a trace reference, it won't print, even if the "Print Reference" option is checked. If I reference a story, only certain things print (lines, arcs, no walls, doors, windows, gridlines, columns, etc).

If I place a worksheet as a reference in an elevation, it prints fine, no problems.

The trace references appear perfectly fine within all my view windows. They behave exactly as they are supposed to, its just that they refuse to print.

Any one have any ideas on this?

I figured out what is happening, and I think its a bug:

I'm using a rotated view orientation, in this case, north is to the right. While the trace references appear to be perfectly lined up with the drawing as I rotate, they do not hold that position when printed. If I select other random degrees of rotation in my view, the trace changes its position (as if it is rotating about a different origin point), BUT ONLY WHEN PRINTED...

It all looks fine in the window until you go print it.

And as far as tracing the second floor and only having certain elements appear? Well, if I'm zoomed out further, everything appears and looks just fine.

Go figure that one.

Another issue with the Rotated Orientation command:

Open a file (new or existing). Rotate a model view 90 degrees.

Activate a tool that will allow you to draw line segments (line, polyline, wall, slab, etc). Try to draw a curved line.

Anyone get what they were expecting?

(Anyone using rotated view orientations besides me?)

I see what you mean. I use rotated views but they are always some arbitrary angle - never encountered this before. This ugly bugly seems to kick in at ±90°.

Maybe it just doesn't like to be right.
