This behavior is not reproducible on my machines.
Can you make it work as expected by drawing something in model space and first exporting that as SVG, and then go back to the layout and save that as SVG?
-wim
Following your suggestion I tried saving some drawing from model space and I seem to have the exact same issue:
I don’t understand why you can’t reproduce on your end, the only plugin I have is SimLabPDFExporter, do you think it could cause it ? It’s something that export 3D PDF files (I’d love if Rhino could do that natively by the way).
That’s very unlikely, but easily ruled out. Disable the plug-in in the plug-in manager and restart Rhino.
Also by the way :ø) - I bought the SimLab 3D PDF plug-in, what?, 15 years ago and loved it. I’m afraid it’s equally unlikely that I’ll see this ever show up in a native version of Rhino.

I just tried it, same result. What else could go wrong ?
Yes pretty handy for sharing with non-CAD people, especially when they like to archive everything (else I’d show some online viewers instead, it’s nicer usually).
Actually three: my laptop and two additional monitors. Since you suggested it might cause it, I tried unplugging the two additional monitors and tried saving as SVG again, but got the exact same result.
Here is my system specs with the two monitors unplugged and the plugins disabled:

I had 4 people in my team test it, and I can confirm it only comes from my own setup. They all have at least 1 additional monitor with a laptop, and one has 2 additional monitors.
Could you run the Reset command and then click the Save Settings for Support… button, save the zip file, and then just cancel the Reset command? Then post that file.
-wim
I never used the Reset command, so to be clear: I ran the Reset command, and got the modal window with options. Then I didn’t check any of the checkboxes, I just clicked Save Settings for Support. Then I clicked the cancel button of the modal window.
Thanks. It doesn’t look like there is anything in there that leads to this behavior.
Just to make sure though, can you create a copy of the Rhino icon on the desktop and then open the properties of that copy? Change the Target to something like
Yes.
You can use different “schemes” in Rhino and launch Rhino in a specific scheme by using shortcuts that target a specific scheme. When you make a new shortcut and set a new name for the scheme, Rhino puts all files in place for that new scheme and all of those new files are factory-default.
Yes.
The weird thing, though, is that this must be something that wasn’t captured in the files that are zipped up by the Reset command.
In Windows Explorer, please go to
%appdata%\McNeel\Rhinoceros\8.0
and zip all files in that folder and send that over.
