After the recent update I’m getting annoying extra lines showing up on the exported PDF. They don’t show in Layout or Sketchup but only in the PDF. Looking for a way to stop this hapening? [Image]

Hey thanks Trent. I’ll try your advise next time this happens. Cheers.

To add to the other suggestions from Trent, we just had a case where it was still showing the diagonal line artifacts. The fix for our new case (and it does fix Sim’s case too) is to select the model in LayOut, change it from what it is now to something else, and back again (for example, Vector to H…

Continuing the discussion from Weird anomalies appearing when Layout exports to PDF : Hi, I have the same problem exporting to .pdf, but it also occurs in LayOut print preview. are you having the same result? = problem within LayOut? Regards Tobbe

Thank you for the tip Colin, unfortunately this doesn’t work for me. Leaving it in raster fixes the issue but is not an ideal solution in most cases.

Thought I had cunningly got away with this one, and avoided it, but I too am experiencing the same problem. Would be good to get an update on a fix timescale. Additional work added to now check every viewport before PDF ing. Mike
