Drawing Export Shows Everything Except Part Views

Hi everyone,

I'm having an issue with exporting drawings. When I export my drawing as a PDF or image file, the resulting file displays everything in my drawing except for the views. All of the dimensions I have for each view display exactly as I have them located, but the actual views are invisible. The same thing happens when I try to print the drawing directly from OnShape.

I tried exporting the file as a DWG and opened it in DraftSight, and everything displayed properly.

I would like to be able to successfully export my drawings from OnShape as PDFs, so any help in resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated!

    That is strange. Could you share a link and we can try to duplicate the issue?

    I filed a ticket with OS Support and they think the issue was caused by the way I set up the drawing. I'm new to OnShape and I had some trouble trying to use a drawing template originally created in Draftsight in my OnShape drawing, so I ended up importing the template into OnShape as a DWG and copied and pasted it into a blank OnShape drawing. I then started duplicating that blank drawing as a way of using it as a template in OnShape. Even though this isn't the proper way of making a custom template, OS Support said it shouldn't have caused my exporting problem and so they filed a bug for it.
