Dear Rhino community,
i have a big problem when i print vector PDFs in Rhino 6.
When i choose in the print setup vector output, all lineweights are the same.
When i choose raster output all lineweights will print in the correct width.
Moreover using the Rhino 6 file in Rhino 5 all lineweights print correctly.
Is this a bug in Rhino 6 or a problem of my system?
Hello Pascal,
l upload a picture of the line widths and linetyps settings of rhino 5 and 6. Also I updated all drivers of my computer and used different pdf-printers like bullzip, cute pdf, adobe pdf, rhino pdf etc. In Rhino 6 I get all the time the same line width problem.
My system is a alienware 17 a4 including a nvidia 1080gtx graphic card and with a 4K monitor.
Until now I am very happy with Rhino 6 except of this vector printing problem…
Hi Maximilian - can you please try opening Options > PlugIns page and disable the various non-default plug-in (VisualArq, Vray, Lumion) then restart Rhino and see if that has any effect? You might also look for a driver update notification in the Notifications panel, double-click and go through the process of updating (both NVidia and Intel) drivers. Let us know if either of those does anything.
Hey Pascal, i did everthing you write but nothing changed.
Updating Nvidia, Intel drivers and disable the different plugins don’t slove the problem…
I also made a Make2D and try the diffrent rhino viewport display… same story…
An idea was to scale the line width up in the print setup ( Linetypes and Line Width). But there is a problem because the lineweight I scaled manually is not right to the scale i set in the printer setup.
Can you reproduce the problem if you create a new file in Rhino 6?
When I create a new Rhino 6 file there is still the same problem with the lineweights in vector print. I only get proper lineweights when I safe my Rhino 6 file as Rhino 5 and print in Rhino 5.
Or does it only happen when opening a Rhino 5 file?
No, I create and work on my projects in Rhino 6 and also safe them as Rhino 6 files. Only for printing I go the detour with Rhino 5 to get proper lineweigts.
I tried reproducing this by opening your file in Rhino 6, no luck. I also tried on a high-DPI display - no luck.
When you get the same results like me… is it possible that this is a bug in Rhino 6 which every Rhino 6 user have?
I have the same problem. The layer print width doesn´t do anything but I work around it by going through properties panel with every individual curve and there set their print width and it works with the printer too.
