Hello, I am having an issue where my angle dimensions are displaying correctly before print but when I export to pdf, the dimension line cuts through the text. see images attached.
and some dimensions print correctly and some don’t – seems sort of random.
I have tried bring to front and I have tried printing with a text mask on too. same problem occurs. Other colleagues in my office have experienced the same issue.

Hi Gab -
I’m not seeing this in a quick test here.
Could you please post both the output from the Rhino SystemInfo command and a 3dm sample that shows this behavior on your end?

Hi @wim
I just made a fresh file and when i exported to pdf, 1 of the 4 Dim Angles were buggy. see pdf attached.

Thanks for reporting RH-88746 Gabrielle!
When should we expect to get an rhino update that fixes this bug?
I can see that since the problem has been logged on youtrack, no one has worked on it.
Everyone in my office has this problem, so it is universal and a very annoying work around having to put text boxes over them every time.
