Aerial transparency

Has this issue been resolved yet? We are wanting to use ORD to undertake our drawing production, and it is something as trivial as this which is stopping us which is disappointing.

Please note, I have put a ticket into Bentley.

I am having the exact same issue using the Iowa DOT setup. I am attempting to print plan/plan sheets. Within the ORD sheet model the transparency is displayed correctly in both views. However, when the sheet is printed, the aerial raster transparency appears as it should in the top plan view but not the bottom.

I tried Eddie's solution of turning off 3D levels. This worked in fixing the aerial raster transparency issue, but it not considered an optimal solution because there is frequent need to print 3D elements.

Setting the print to Rasterized seemed to fix the issue of aerial raster transparency but creates a different set of issues, as a rasterized print fouls up the display of so many elements. It is disappointing that ORD has so many bugs like this than inhibit efficient plan production.

Just found something in the settings when printing individual sheets. I checked the box that says "Rasterized." It seems to work this way but I am not sure where to find this setting in the print organizer.

Start at the Default and make sure it's carried through to the Drawing and Sheet Models.

Eddie, are we talking in the default, drawing, or sheet model?

Matt - try turning off any 3d levels (DTM_* and Default tend to be the worst offenders) that you have referenced and try again. Often this is in the SURVRD. You're getting the tiling of the raster on the lower plan clip that we see with this.
