Restrictions applying to printing certain Allplan elements

Pay attention to the following special features when printing OLE objects, bitmaps and fills with gradients or transparency.

Use Windows drivers instead of Allplan vector drivers. Large-format printers working with pens cannot print these element types.

Note: The following information on Allplan vector drivers also applies when you create print files (in the HPGL/2 monochrome and HPGL/2 color formats) using the Export HPGL File, Bitmap File tool.
