Common Issues:
- Drawing elements missing (textboxes/images/etc do not appear when plotted)
- It's possible the document you are trying to print is too large. To ensure it isn't being caused by the formatting of the document itself, try printing it to a letter size on a CAE duplex printer. If you still see missing elements, it's probable that it is a formatting issue in the document.
- First, try resizing images. If you have full size images that you simply scaled down in the program you are printing from, try saving a smaller version of the image file in paint by scaling it down, and using that instead. The same applies to cropped images. If you have a massive image that you are only showing a small part of, it might be a good idea to crop it outside of the program you are using, then importing the smaller image instead.
- If that doesn't work, try saving the document as a pdf, and plotting the PDF document.
- If pdf document doesn't work, try printing the document as an image (bitmap). Note: if you print the document as a bitmap, there is a good change that the image resolution will not be high enough, leading to a blurry/pixelated plot.
- Scale/size issues (plot not the right aspect ratio, or only taking up a small section of the paper
- Make sure you are selecting the right paper size for the plot you want (ANSI A/B/C/D/E)
