draft print to PDF

Unread post by Robert »

Does anyone have issues printing draft to PDF? I go to Print/Print, Box, First corner, Second corner and then nothing happens? and sometimes I get a "Data stack empty" message which means I have a .lck file that I have to delete.

Todd,

Thanks for the information, something must be wrong with my setting I keep getting ""Data stack empty"?

How would you Print to PDF the attached document that I received from a Architect as a DWG which I converted to a draft, it needs to be shared with our customer service department that does not have TopSolid that is why I need to print to PDF?

I do have the XPS options, but I would rather see the pdf option :D
