Hi,
V5 AND V8. SAME ISSUE IN V8.
I use Arial, in both Msoft Word, Photoshop, Rhino etc etc.
Its installed on the PC !
I create some text characters with Arial in Rhino A B C D E etc.
I select these along with my dimensions (which also use Arial) and lines and export as .ai
open this into pshop 26.3 latest, and it says uses fonts not available. continue, I go yes.
it says rasterising…
I see the dims but not the A B C etc. yet both use Arial.
Hi,
just searched on Pascal and found that out so left a reply.
though its not come to top of stack,
I wondered why such a post was awaiting a reply as normally Pascal was onto it like a terrier onto a rat !
I feel like a fish out of water with this problem.
Hi,
Basically then Rhino has a problem. WHICH HAS NEVER BEEN SOLVED.
It is unable to export text as .ai
It is unable to use .ai to get work into Photoshop.
Anyone needing a Rhino Photoshop workflow has a problem.
.ai is the suggested route for same.
pdf wants to export the entire scene, which is huge, the part I want to export is a small part of that.
I will get smoke from my GPU if I try for the entire scene, at the resolution I need to open as so as to see the detail in the item being exported.
This needs getting to the developers for a quick fix and update on V8 which I have only just bought, for its bug free usage.as I need to take work into photoshop !
How do we get this to the attention of the developers for a quick fix ?
perhaps… @bobmcneel
Can I rasterise the text in Rhino , that then solves that problem, how is that done ?
Do I have to get Fusion360 to get it into that then export as .ai ?
why is it the dimensions are ok, they also use Arial.
Hi,
V5
I do that, the run command Export, and select .pdf and I get a preview of the entire scene in colour, then continue it and get PDF24fax appear with a B/W image.
I normally use PDF24 pdf maker, so why their FAX version appears I dont know.
However it also showed the entire scene.
the emphasize should be here “was” as @martinsiegrist quoted above pascal is retired and no longer answering here.
i wonder can you guys not export text at all to illu? on mac that seems to be working just fine, but i remember having to export as dwg at some point for it to show up properly in illustrator, the other way around still does not seem to work fully with ai, text does not show up, here the dwg file format comes to rescue again.
somebody from the developers once wrote that the ai export import is ancient, i am not sure if this is going to change ever, but since illustrator is one of the more often frequented packages being used for documentation for instance i also would think it should bear some importance
i just tried gimp, it feels like how photoshop pre release 0.63 (in 1988) might have felt like ok i am just kidding that is your tool of choice, not going to bash it, i am also trying to avoid photoshop but there really are not so many alternatives, i bought affinity which is ok, it still feels a bit clunky.
svg by the way does not appear to export text properly either, none of the applications kept the text in tact and split each letter. is that something you experience either? importing it into gimp that also did not work even though i checked retain paths etc.
right dwg does not import to photoshop but to illustrator.
one question is important to solve at first i guess, which is if you need the text to be editable in photoshop, if so the only way i found is to import it to illustrator first and then export as psd, any other attempt failed.
if you simply want the entire thing to show up in photoshop there are millions of methods, also pdf would work
there your issue is probably only that you should use the export selected instead of export, you can also define the area you want to export during the pdf settings under “view and output scale” (on mac at least for windows it might be similar) then select either viewport or you can select window and select the area you want to export.
