I am trying to print a sheet set with images. The images have boundaries applied to them. I have noticed that when there are boundaries applied to the images, the images do not show up in sheet view nor do they print. If you remove the image boundaries, you can see the images in sheet view and they print as anticipated.

Is this a bug? 

The video demonstrates this. There is no audio in the video.

Thank you!

Could be a bug - can you share the Project - I can also try to recreate from scratch but if you have the project I can take a look. It will either be View Filters, Display Settings in Layer Manager or a Defect most likely - maybe if your Boundary Layer is Hidden then maybe the Image wont print for example - I would need to test this to see though

I will try to look this afternoon.

This isn't really a bug Pat - You were using the same boundary as your Dynaview and your Image Boundary and that is a corner case that really makes little sense in many cases - because the Dynaview Boundary will crop the image to its limits and you would not need to apply it as an Image Boundary as well. However it is a corner case that we should trap I guess. Right now if your image Boundary is inside the Dynaview or even crossing the Dynaview it works so just offset the Boundary by 0.01 and use the offset line as the Image Boundary if you need to do that - and that offset can be inside or outside the Dynaview - either works - it just cannot be the same exact boundary.

Cases where I see this coming up frequently are projects where you have overlapping pdfs that you need to clip. DOT projects are a good example of this. My process would be: I would create and apply the image boundary around the plan data (Sometimes already available in the cad files as a vport). Once I have a image boundary, I would just use this as a dynaview because it is encapsulating the information I want to reproduce or share for deliverables. It helps to keep the information more consistent to the original data provided to us. This is useful when working on large projects where you are piecing a lot of pages together because of paper size constraints. 

For now, I will keep the offsetting in mind as that is a pretty quick and painless work around.

Thanks for investigating Alan and the feedback!
