Hi Peter!
I’ve had this one on my list and finally found that previous discussion - seems like we have crossed swords over this before
Piping in, my alternate units should be scaling 6X and are not. This annotation style was originally created in R5. The weird multiplier is for a scale model reference. Tried changing alternate to Inches - Decimal but did not work. Also tried making a fresh annotation style but no dice.
Annotation settings below:
Thanks very much Alain
Guys, I’m having some trouble when opening a Rhino 4 or 5 archive in Rhino 6!
I’ve created a Layout, to Technical Drawings, in Rhino 4 and used it in Rhino 5, without any major problems, but when I open this Layout in Rhino 6, this (image below) happens… Any idea on how to solve this?
Hello Pascal, thanks for the answer!
Yes, it made! The document I was having problems with is working now, with the Enable layout space scaling unselected.
There are some other documents that I was having some issues, I will try with them too
Hi,
my dims are moving when I print to PDF, but oddly not when I print to the printer.
is there a known fix for this? Or am I being silly?
Hi - please run the Rhino SystemInfo
command and post the result here. Also, please upload a simple sample 3dm file that shows the problem.
-wim
Hi @gileshg, what happens if you copy your whole drawing into a new empty file which is based on a default template included with the Rhino 6 install ? Does it still move the dims when you print to PDF ?

Hi @clement
I discovered that if I use print to Microsoft PDF then the results are good. That fixes the moving dims.
I was using an A3 layout from Rhino 6.
I still sometimes get odd faceted surface representation in shaded technical view sometimes.
Giles
Hi @gileshg, can you post an example file ?
This sounds to be a display related problem. If you run _SystemInfo
, please post the results here.

Hi @clement
I can’t post system settings now. I don’t have rhino open. But this is a snap of the pdf.

Hi Giles - I’m afraid that this will be the minimum information that we need from you:

Hi @wim
here is my system info, sorry for the delay

I have definitely seen this in the past, but it seems like it has gotten better. For me it wasn’t just dims, but all layout space objects. If I remember correctly, switching PDF readers helped with viewing, so you might want to try a few and see if you have better results. I currently use Foxit PhantomPDF.
For printing from the PDF to a printer, while it can look good in the PDF the print would be off similar to your example. I have to make sure Print as image is selected in my PDF viewer to not get this shift.
Hi Sam,
I ended up using print to Microsoft PDF and that works fine, so I stick to that, rather than Rhino PDF.
thanks
Giles
