I've been working on some larger extent maps in AutoCAD Map 2010, and have always had problems printing maps with a raster image behind them. Usually they're Google Earth images, and almost always they're dropped by the printer. The usual workaround has been to create a pdf using dwg to pdf and then print that, which seems to have no problems.Seemed.  I've run into an interesting error when printing very large (four or five mile wide) extents to pdf when the view is rotated away from world, either using UCS or DVIEW. The raster seems to break along long stripes parallel to one of the world axes. It's hard to describe, so I've included a few images to show what I mean.Here's the unrotated image, in this case Chowchilla, CAhttp://imgur.com/cYNIM.jpgHere's the image rotated using UCShttp://imgur.com/q1SLH.jpgAnd here's the image rotated using DVIEWhttp://imgur.com/cYNIM.jpgCan anyone explain why this is happening, or give me a workaround? The same problem doesn't happen if I take multiple smaller images and tile them together, even on the same layer, as separate external references.
