@pascal and @wim can you please help addressing this? I can only describe this as a bug since it really messes with our files. (I understand that it behaves as it is programmed to do, but still, for us users it is behaving wrong, like something is buggy) Check out the file consisting a single poi…

Hi Jorgen - thanks for the detailed report - it is partly addressed here: RH-57625 Exported 3dm file is bloated by unused textures But I’ll add items as needed for your other points. RH-58797 Limit export to relevant data @Holo , The current annotation style is exported, that seems reasonable,…

[image] pascal: The current annotation style is exported, that seems reasonable, to me…? Why? It is not used? IMO all settings in a file should be default unless used by the objects in the export. edit: (That means including default linetypes, hatches etc though) I forgot to mention Enviro…

[image] Holo: Why? It is not used? Because, some annotation style needs to be exported… what else would it be but the current one? -Pascal

The STANDARD one unless another one is used by objects exported. Otherwise Rhino will import this unused definition into the other file. Rhino does not show in the annotations list if they are used or not, so in theory you can copy stuff from differrent files (common) and end up with many unused a…

Hi Jorgen - I don’t know if the mechanics make sense, the way things are hooked up. I am somewhat making things up here, we should ask @lowell as well, what is possible or sensible, but if the file must be written with a style current, as I expect, it just seems like a bit of a stretch, to me, to …

[image] pascal: it just seems like a bit of a stretch Well, you guys are already stretching backwards for us in every thinkable situation, so this being too difficult surprises me :wink: But I guess it is the least important participant of the list, so I will not moan if it gets cut!

I haven’t tried making files without dimstyles, so I don’t know for sure what might show up. I think it would be ok, though, as far as Rhino is concerned. If there are annotations in the file, there should be a dimstyle. Otherwise the ON Default would be used.

Would this be a good result for Exporting the point in the point.3dm file you posted above? ExportPoint.3dm (11.9 KB)
