Render different in detail view than print or preview

Hi,

I have searched the forum but can’t find an answer…

Pic 1 is detail view set to render

Pic 2 is print preview

Pic 3 is the actual PDF

So if i want a rendered view in my doc i have to snip and reinsert as an image file.

i have set render to default

File is after images

Sysinfo at the end

Any help greatly appreciated

I Have updated,I thought it was on auto update.

It’s the same on my work computer which is a Nvidia card,Drivers are up to date on that…

Hi Nosaj -

When I open the file that you attached, it opens with a layout where the detail is in Raytraced mode, not Rendered.

You can’t print a detail that is in Raytraced mode.
