vpete Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Hi all, printing on large format (HP XL 8000 driver), save to PDF. Settings are 100%, include background, vector output and use line weights. Sheets are saving to PDF ok, but image-based hatches not working (in "paper space")... thoughts? Also, possible to define hatches (fill) in different colors? (wanting to use a filled white shape to mask a site image behind Lastly (for now), how best to define what is in front and what is in back (like layers in InDesign or just Front to Back ordering in many applications... Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vpete Posted July 12, 2021 Author Share Posted July 12, 2021 On a Mac. Using the HP XL 8000 driver for large format as it was the only guidance I could find for large format on a Mac... and the guidance was from Autodesk. Ouch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Montoya Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Similar Question here: I don't PDF from FormZ or Print from FormZ. But you may find my solution useful... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vpete Posted July 20, 2021 Author Share Posted July 20, 2021 Z has always acted like a crossover app between CAD (2D or 3D) and graphics - it would be a dream to treat the layout more like InDesign or Illustrator rather than like CAD. And vector graphics - not just raster. They can be set for a certain DPI, but become unwieldy fast and not smart docs. Still not sure why things look nice on screen and not printed. Losing a lot of information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
