  1. @Chopsaw & @Kbird1, Thank you for the troubleshooting advice. Before I tried exporting an image to layout view, I sent the Plot Line - Color Fill option, but the plot lines and color fill do not properly align. (See file "2019-02-06_DTLG107Bust-PAREX.pdf") The layout view prints exactly like it looks on screen (also misaligned). Notice the line weight is consistent, but the color is unusable. @Chopsaw asked about the annotation location. The annotations are in layout view. I added the annotations after I sent the image & did not resize the image after. I also unchecked the "Automatically Update" option while printing but received the same misaligned result as an image & plot line. I use the PDF printer called "Chief Architect Save as PDF". It's the only PDF-printer installed on my computer. I'm using the native Mac version of CA. I collaborate with other MS Windows CA users and they rarely experience the oddities I do. What else should I try to resolve this problem? 2019-02-06_DTLG107Bust-PAREX.pdf
  2. I'm using CA X9 - MAC version - native System is iMac OSX 10.12.6 (Sierra), Video Card ATI Radeon HD 5750 1024 Mb The problem is related to an image sent to layout with the following settings: (See image titled "2019-02-08_LayoutViewSettings-X9.png") Here's a screen shot of my layout view before printing. Notice the line weight on all surfaces (while wavy) is consistent. (See image titled "2019-02-08_LayoutViewScreen-X9.png". Also notice the location of the keyed notes. The notes are centered on the various materials. Here's a printout (pdf) of the layout page. Notice the line weight on surfaces closest to the viewer is heavier. (See file titled "2019-02-06_DTLG107-PAREX.pdf" ) Also notice the keyed notes shifted. I set line weights in the plan file to the "Layer" setting. I want line weights to be consistent and keyed notes to align where I draw them. Why is the line weight thicker when closer to the viewer & why are my annotations misaligned in the printed (pdf) version? 2019-02-06_DTLG107-PAREX.pdf
