Export Preview Unavailable

Export preview can be unavailable if no drawing is open, the PDF cannot be rendered, the quote is missing, or the selected export type is not ready for the current context.

Ready to export

The export dialog status explains missing drawing, quote, or preview conditions.

Check export context

  1. 1

    Open a drawing

    Drawing PDF export requires an active drawing tab.

  2. 2

    Check BoQ rows

    BoQ export needs the workspace's Bill of Quantities to have rows to format.

  3. 3

    Check the selected type

    Drawing Image export renders one page at a time. If you scoped several pages, switch to Drawing PDF, or export the page you need as an image and repeat.

Retry safely

  1. 1

    Refresh preview

    Close and reopen the export dialog after the drawing has rendered.

  2. 2

    Use PDF first

    If a preview stays unavailable, try Drawing PDF export for the formal record.

  3. 3

    Contact support

    Include the export type, drawing name, browser, and any visible error message.
