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

              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,
