Measurment text in black area

[robertWan]

I've noticed that it only happens with measurements which are aligned to dimension line.

Yes !

A break through...

I too confirm that only if the dim-text is 'aligned', then the HLR PDF shows a black rectangle.
Without the HLR setting they all print OK !

So it is a bug? In SU2014 same.
How is it in SU2015?

I don't see it in 2015.

[TIG]

I see it in v2015.

[Dave R]

I wonder why I don't have any issue on my machine with this.

+1
Camera set to Parallel Projection....default views (top/front/right..etc) gives expected results.
Perspective views not so much.

maybe its due to different gfx cards / gfx card settings / OS versions / ...?

So maybe the issue is more with print drivers? I don't have a printer connected to my PC and the default "printer" is set as One Note.

I get it when using PDF995, which I think uses some 'ghostscript' arcanery...

My WAG......Printing w/HLR yields a partially vector based file....no? (lines are vector...& text appears to be raster....to me anyway)

I tested this using windows XPS writer.......which I am pretty sure saves as a .jpg or similar image file. (all raster)
I do not have any other print driver installed to test further.

Charlie

PS:
XPS Writer does not black out the text.

Just following up........I looked to the Trimble SU........Knowledge center.......(search) HLR.

As I suspected.......the HLR print (output) option is vector based output.

So...somewhere......somehow.....the black dimension boxes are cause/effect of......??

SU dimension text fails to convert/display as vector?

User "success" in printing to HLR (w/o blacked out dimension text) .....most likely does not contain any vector based attributes. (IOW: print driver is really printing as .jpg/or other "image" file)

I do not have an answer/solution.......but to say the HLR print option......when used with a vector capable print driver.......will unfortunately create the blacked out text/dims. as depicted above.

Best,
