Print to PDF

Can anyone tell me why it is that when I use the Rhino print to PDF that my dimensions in the layout will offset themselves. This is not shown in the print preview and only appears in the final PDF.

It seems to be caused viewport being in shaded, ghosted etc but not in wireframe.

How do I rectify this issue?

Cheers

Hi Ben -
Please run the Rhino SystemInfo command and copy-paste the result here.

Thanks for that, Ben.
This is behaving as expected here in a quick test.
Can you post a 3dm file that is showing this behavior on your system?
-wim

Often times I have to print screen or view capture to file, in order to get prints to look the way as expected.

For example, the other day I realized that some line colors on some layers weren’t showing up correctly in the print dialogue – later I realized the bug was the fact the layers were locked.

Even though the color appeared normal in the workspace, once the print dialogue came up the color changed. Very annoying GUI.
