Hi :) I'm having trouble with printing 3d solid objects, when left objects are left solid the printed page comes out all black, in wireframe comes out normal. What am I missing?

Yep, v11 does that, reported, not fixed. Think V12 was the same. It's something to do the the shading. The print seems to make a jpeg of the shading and that jpeg is infront of everything else and blocks it out.
Only thing I can suggest is making sure the view border sits inside the drawing border and doesn't overlap anything else.

Not sure if you flatten the view whether that works or not, can't remember. If you do flatten the view there is no way back, so maybe make a copy of the file before you try it

I'd put it in to the "support team" see if you get listened too?

OK, now I can't get even lines to print in V14, only text! ;( I tried to put in a support ticket but I'm not sure if it actually went in.
Exporting to a bmp worked for printing solids in V11 and now I switched back to V11 for printing lines as well. There seems to be some file compatibility issues between V11 and v14 or am I doing something wrong? Thanks! :)
