I’m having problems with text justification & alignment when exporting to Illustrator. It occurs to me that I could get around this by converting all text to curves before export, but I don’t want to do this ‘destructively’ - i.e. I don’t want to permanently change all text to curves in the Rhino file.
Is there anything that would stop me doing this via a script, and is there an alternative to exploding the text to create the curves? Reason being, I’ve found in quite a few cases that the output from exploded text doesn’t look much like the original text.
should help, if I understand what you’re doing. I do not think there is a better alternative to Explode - the displayed text is sometimes not the same as the curves - I know this has come up before and I don’t recall the reason, but I’ll ask. It might be worth a test in one if these cases to make the text as curves in TextObject and see if that is different from Explode of the same sized Text.
I can’t think of an easy way to replace Text with _TextObject generated text prior to export, so the whole thing may be a non-starter. Exploding hatches to surfaces isn’t what I’d want either.
On its way. I see this all the time, no matter what the font, so I wouldn’t say it’s ‘extreme’. For one-offs, I replace Text with TextObject curves, but I’m exporting a lot of these things atm and that’s not really viable, especially as I often need to edit text in place several times.
