Does somebody has an example how to fix that? :-)

Thanks!

It does, but only for modelspace, not for the layouts (paperspaces)

Are you able to read the contents from paper space?

Hi, yes I can read the content from the model and paperspaces. Also I can print to pdf, but I can't print a specific layout, I can only print the modelspace

Hi @sprongandre,

Did you have the Paper space selected in the reader parameters? If you only want to read the A1L layout, you will want to deselect the Read Model Space parameter in the DWG Reader parameters (also have Read model space entities through viewport deselected).

I have attached a sample workspace that writes to PDF - hope that helps: DWG_Layout_to_PDF.fmwt
