Linetypes are scaled in Rhino.FileIO.FilePdf.Create

Hello,
I am trying to export a pdf via Rhino.FileIO.FilePdf.Create().
When I do so, the result looks like that:

grafik
grafik637×901 2.19 KB

When I do it manually, it’s looking like that.

grafik
grafik921×578 22.2 KB

grafik
grafik628×890 3.52 KB

This confuses me a bit because I prefer the looks of the manual option.
How can I control the output using Rhino.FileIO.FilePdf.Create()?

Thanks,
T.

Hi Tobias - I am on thin ice here but it may be that this will help

I could not find anything specifically for printing, as opposed to view capture, but it might apply, I don’t know.

@pascal, thanks first of all.

I just tried and so far I do not get a better result.

    pdf = Rhino.FileIO.FilePdf.Create()
    dpi = 300
    inch = 25.4
    width = (view.PageWidth)/inch
    height = (view.PageHeight)/inch

    size = System.Drawing.Size(width*dpi,height*dpi)
    settings = Rhino.Display.ViewCaptureSettings(view, size, dpi)
    settings.MatchLinetypePatternDefinition = True

    pdf.AddPage(settings)
    pdf.Write(filename)

Or am i missing something here?

Hi Tobias - I think you will need better advice than I can provide - on the Scripting or Developer forum - My only thought at the moment is to see, with a break point in the debugger, if Settings is indeed updated and applied at AddPage()

@pascal, I checked it. It is set to True.
But I understand (and thanks again), let’s hope someone will be able to help.

I moved the thread to the developer forum.

@pascal

 settings.MatchLinetypePatternDefinition = False

This did the job.
It is set to True on default. So it needs to be switched.
