    Default BUG? : Solid FIll in annotation in electrical symbol

    The saga of filled regions being broken on various nested annotation situations seems to continue. Can someone verify that this perfectly normal little data symbol is broke for you too, unless you print Raster.

    Thanks,
    Gordon

    Print or Plot? This is not "broken" for me. Attached is a .pdf printed from your family through Bluebeam. I also checked on our Ricoh 2022 and had no problems. Vector, not Raster.

    Interesting. I tried cutePDF and our new Canon multifunction, both no fill at all in Vector, but fine in Raster. I will try the Canon tomorrow with the PostScript driver, and see what happens.

    One thing tho'. It looks like you printed right from the family. Try placing the family in an actual project. I think that is when printing/plotting problems crop up.

    Thanks,

    You win. I did print from the family but I recalled that when I made all this stuff for our office in the early days of the migration, it worked. And we have been using what I made. So I checked what I did. Silly, but it works. Made a detail component with a filled regions, nested that into the annotation family then nested the annotation family into the model. Since we are an architectural firm, our consultants generally do this work so it is only an issue on small projects - we do not use this annotation much.

    Let us know if you resolve this.

    Have there been any developments in this issue? We have a Nested Multi Family Electrical Outlet Family responding the same way. Any of the nested objects that are filled do not show up when printing Vector only Raster. My office mainly prints vector (seems a foreign concept to try raster unless images are involved) Thanks. Appreciate the help.

    I've come across these situations as well with clients and the only solution was to go to raster printing instead of vector.
