Mixed vector-raster content in viewport can't be printed to pdf

Hello,

there is a major bug regarding printing mixed content - e.g rendered materials and lines that are in the same viewport. Everything looks correct while working, but the moment we try to print a vector to pdf, only vector lines are visible and all the textures/materials disappear!

To recreate this issue we can follow these steps:

  1. Create object with a material applied;
  2. Draw a 2d cure on the top;
  3. Create new layout;
  4. Set viewport’s Display Mode to Technical;
  5. In the “Display Mode Options” of Technical display check “Shade objects”;
  6. print from layout to pdf using Vector Output;

Attached you will find two pictures - what I see ad what I get.

One more thought, and correct me if I am wrong - I assume it is indeed a bug and not a missing feature, since WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) approach is quite obvious. So if we can see that Technical Display can handle mixed content in the viewport, then I guess we can expect it to be printable as a vector.

I am glad that recently many vetor-print related bugs were fixed and I hope you will give it a high priority, and soon we will be able to see Rhino among other professional products. So far you are doing a great job!
