Summary


Details

A drawing with shaded views doesn't show the same result in PDF after File > Export > Pdf and after opening the result in a PDF viewer.


The views aren't shaded. With the pdf export the shaded lines are not shown in the pdf, but only 3D with lines.

Solution

The current work layer is invisible. The workaround to plot shaded views on drawing sheet is to make the work layer visible for that sheet effected.

- Choose 'Format' > 'Visible in View'
- Double click the sheet and make layer the work layer as visible.

As noted in general usage notes for drafting shaded views, NX uses raster image capability to support plotting of shaded views. The raster images are created on current work layer that is expected to be visible for shaded view plotting.
