Is there a way to export text in Rhino as curves (for Adobe Illustrator)?

Rhino for Mac
#1

The reason behind my question is, whenever I bring text into Adobe Illustrator from Rhino OSX, it’s all over the place (most likely Illustrator’s fault, not Rhino’s). But if Rhino could just export the text as curves, I assume Illustrator wouldn’t have a problem as it never does with just curves.

Thanks

Not directly. You would need to make the text using the TextObject command (as curves) instead of using the annotation command.

Thanks John, that’s actually pretty useful – not the ideal solution but gets me there nonetheless.

In Windows Rhino, you can Explode annotation text to turn it into outline curves. Mac Rhino can’t explode text yet. I don’t know why.
I’ll get it on the list.

what command of text to outline curves in window version?

Simply use the Explode command.

And I think that also works on Mac now as well…

When is used command “explode” sometimes shapes are not correct. Better is to use TextObject command.
