Zone Boundary Not Printing

Anonymous

I'm having a strange little problem. One of my zone types is very light in color, so I wanted to show an outline around it. In the drawing view it appears to be fine (see image). However, when I print, this outline disappears (image in next post). Does anyone know how to get this outline to print?

This shows what it looks like when I print.

My guess is that this is another glitch in version 11 - because it works fine in version 10.

I'm having the same trouble - I guess I'll just have to manually draw contours around my zones. A bit of a waste of my time and effort really.

Wow.... this is funny. I had exactly the OPPOSITE problem!

On screen, the OUTLINE attributes would NOT SHOW (like lineweight; and yes I had the on screen view options set correctly)....

But they would PRINT fine....

I just noticed the same problem(s) here -- outline shows on screen, but is the incorrect line weight -- outline does not print.

I think I'm having the same problem. Zone outlines won't print.

I can change the zone outline pen, but on screen it only affects the color of the outline, not lineweight. It's as if it always displays as hairline.

Other lines (on zone 2D fills etc.) display correctly on screen, with the right lineweight and color.

When a view with correct model view options (as far as i know, at least) is placed on layout, the zone outlines disappear. So even on layout the zone outlines cannot be seen.


Has anyone come up with a solution other than manually drawing a boundary with polyline or something?
