Hi, I’m pretty new to using Rhino and I’m currently struggeling with doing a pdf export of my perspective viewport. In the Export settings and preview everything looks fine but once the pdf is done exporting it looks like this:
Untitled.pdf (659.3 KB)
basically just a small part of the drawing replicated over the whole page. I’ve searched through several forums and can’t find a similar situation, does anyone have an idea of what the problem could be?
Hi Salome -
Please run the Rhino SystemInfo command and copy-paste the result here.
Also, which command are you using to generate the PDF file?
-wim
Hello @wim,
I tried using the print command as well as the export command, the result is the same with both of them.
That’s the SystemInfo:
