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.

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

I played around with the Save As settings and unfortunately none of the settings helped.

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

The link doesn't say much, says basically that someone at some time requested for this feature and that it is not yet implemented.

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