I was wondering if anyone else is having problems printing transparent elements on large roll drawings. I typically work on larger civil projects where we need to plot roll drawings of the project area. I wanted to use transparent shapes to identify various types of impacts while still being able to see the information below the shapes. However, when I rasterized my layout it took 15 min. and was only about 30% finished processing when I cancelled the plot. Has any one else tried rasterizing larger layouts with larger amounts of data? Could I be missing something in my plot config file?
Element transparancy is a view attribute. I believe the default setting of the view attribute initially comes from your seed design file.
Raster transparency is a different topic, unrelated to the element transparency introduced in V8 XM. Completely transparent raster pixels can be printed in non-rasterized mode (although inefficiently by most printer drivers), but not partially transparent raster pixels. Partially transparent raster can only be printed correctly in rasterized mode.
