eDrawing Markups Not Showing When Saving SLDDRW As PDF or DWG

Unread post by aj145 »

Hi, I am having an issue where markups created in eDrawings doesn't show in the PDF of the SW drawing, even though it shows in the SLDDRW file.

"Print to PDF" shows the mark up but "Save as" doesn't, which is an issue because we're trying to automate these exports in PDM.

I have tried toggling every setting on SW save as PDF and nothing has helped. Any ideas on how to fix this?

The 1st image shows the SLDDRW file with eDrawings markups.

The 2nd image shows the PDF file missing the eDrawings markups.

There is this SPR that someone in another forum provided me, but I'm unable to view the page.

Is it possible the markups are on a different layer? These are the settings when exporting (Save As) a pdf.

That's very unfortunate. It seems like a known issue but has no solution. Thanks for the response!
