Trac reference......HOW TO MAKE IT PRINT?

So...what's the tip/trick/workaround for making a "Trace Reference" print?
Hopefully...not having to wait for AC16.

Screen snap shots don't work cause they aren't to any scale and bitmap file is definately NOT a vectora file.

thanks,

Trace and Reference is mainly an drawing-aid. However you can print one Trace at the time. Simple go to the print dialog (File/Print) and there you can check Print Reference.

But the main method is to place an extra drawing on your layout and attach a grey-penset to it.

HUMMM...NO, here's what I mean...Trace Ref of "Demolition" in blue, actual new construction in other colors....how do I "PRINT" the trace reference image to a scale, NOT a bitmap image rather a vectoral print which would show the trace reference showing up???

I tried the "print reference" button toggle on the printer and that didn't do diddly....thanks.
