Rhino 7:
Rhino 8 WIP:
Maybe I’m blind. What happened to the arrows to preview the layout pages in the print setup dialog?
There’s also a problem with the scale of the preview:
Hi Martin,
They have been omitted in favor of picking on the list of named layouts in the left column of the dialog.
I also logged an issue logged: RH-76466/Preview-between-pages-Missing-in-Print-Dialog
We need your input.
Will the new option work ok for you?
Thanks for testing.
Sincerely,
Mary Ann Fugier
Thanks Mary, that’s ok.

I am sorely missing the preview arrows in v8. Those arrow buttons ARE ESSENTIAL for streamlining production drawing sets. They help designers like myself and the team I’ve managed produce a clean, massive multi page pdf sets.
PLEASE BRING BACK the arrow buttons with the related “pg 1 (layout 1 of #)” UI items… This seems like one of those tiny things that don’t matter perhaps but it does.
Was removing this feature tied to adding other functionality? I love the check mark workflow but we still need the old solid features as well.
thank you!

Hi Robert -
I wouldn’t say the feature was removed. In which way doesn’t selecting a layout in the list to preview that layout provide the same functionality (and actually more functionality since you can now hop over layouts) that the arrows did?

hi Wim,
this feature
is no longer in rhino 8. The feature/functionality you show is great and much appreciated but is v. different from what we users had grown very used to. Clicking a button to flip through pages is a fairly standard feature of most page layout programs and pdf readers.

I absolutely agree @carvecream.
Thanks for letting me know.
I reopened this issue that I logged last fall.
If anyone else wants this back, or if there is another thread that discusses this, please post here.
Thanks.

The advantage of the arrows is that you don’t need to move the mouse to quickly preview the pages of a PDF. This is relevant especially on a PDF with many pages.
The current solution requires a mouse click on the first nine pages which are shown without scrolling. Once the bottom of the list has been reached, page 9 in my screenshot, the mouse can stay where it is and the list scrolls to the following page.
I think the arrows would still be useful.
Arrows and a text input would be even better.
Maybe the text input could even be scroll sensitive?
Scrolling within the text field would change the preview to the next page…
