BUG: Hatches in Locked Layers Do not Export to PDF

Create a file with a layout.
Create a hatch that will appear in the layout.
Lock the layer with the hatch.
Export>PDF

The hatch does not appear in the PDF.
Unlock the layer with the PDF. Export.
The hatch appears in the PDF.

In principle, when creating a layout you want then to go to Print (Cmd+P) and in the dialog you can then choose to create a pdf.

Hi John -

I just exported a simple file and that seems to work fine. Make sure to enable Locked Objects in the Visibility section:

I found the same problem.

From a DetailView on a Layout, hatches on locked layers aren’t exported to PDF, whether via Export or Cmd+P. The ‘Locked Objects’ Visibility setting makes no difference.

From a model space view, or a hatch directly on a Layout not in a DetailView, the ‘Locked Objects’ setting works for Cmd+P, but not for Export.

(I prefer the interface and options in Export to PDF to be better than Cmd+P, it looks like someone put more thought into it.)

Hi Neil -

When I use the ExportAll command from a layout in Rhino 7 on macOS, I get the hatches and curves that are on a locked layer here.

In this set-up, the black “default” layer is locked:

Could you post a file and the output of the Rhino SystemInfo command?
