From some time until today I was having a very annoying bug in RH05: everytime I try to print something from layouts or model viewports the preview doesn’t show anything and the print result is a white page (it doesn’t matter what printer I choose).
I notice from your screenshot that you have quite a few plug-ins installed. Try disabling these, restart rhino, and see if that makes a difference with respect to printing.
We got no luck Third-party plugins disabled, windows restarted, and still nothing in the preview window, neither in the printed file.
I double checked and there are no clipping planes in the model (I was cheking if RH6 have some kind of incompatibility with them and it made the trick letting see what was behind a possible forgotten clipping plane).
Can you print in RasterMode?
What Displaymode is the Detail in; might it be in technical Displaymode?
Can you print when the Detail is in Wireframe mode?
Already checked since first post. Detail view is set in wireframe mode, RasterMode makes no difference… And what is worrying me is that with no modifications in the file (and it’s not related with the file…it happens with default templates just opened), RH6 print it/them with any problem.
Something worries me. What? That it looks like the bug is not related to the file (it happens every time I try to print, even with just opened Rhino templates), so perhaps, it’s going to be more complicated to solve…(just guessing).
We got something. In safe mode with no plugin loaded it shows the preview and it tries to print (it gets stuck in the process, I suppose because it doesn’t have the plugins loaded.
start regedit and delete the Print key shown in the following screenshot. See the path to the key at the bottom of the screenshot. Make sure to delete the key from HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\McNee;\5.0x64\Scheme: Defaults\Print
restart Rhino and try to print
This key holds on to settings used the last time the print command was run. When no settings key exists, Rhino will use default settings. Maybe there is some setting that was somehow corrupted and causing the problem
I’m going to take note about these “default values registry keys” because it looks like a good way to reset some errors or rhino misbehaviours.
Anyway, any idea about what produced this registry key corruption? I only remember uninstalling OpenOffice (which broke my github app because an overwritten *dll) and installing MS Office.
