Printing range of layouts to PDF, prints first and last page only

I’m working with a large file by my standards, 1.6 gb, with roughly 375 page layouts which do not all get printed at the same time – usually a range. I can print in V7 and it’s slow, but it does print. But in V8, for example, when I print a range from 348-377 only the first and last page are not blank.

As mentioned in an earlier post, I’m having trouble opening large files from V7 in V8 – take way way too long to open.

Looks like a resource issue with V8.

Thanks,

James

Hi James -
I wasn’t able to reproduce those issues here, and they do come across as being at least somewhat file-specific. Please upload a file here - Rhino - Upload to Support
Thanks,

Thanks Wim, just uploaded file.

Oh, BTW – there are a lot of objects that are hidden in that file, because it’s so big. What’s visible is what I’m currently working on.

@jvm33 sorry for the late reply to this issue. I downloaded your file and tried to print 348-377, in v8,
I haven’t recorded the time it took, but it was slow. Printing to Rhino PDF generated a 110MB file. All pages seem to be correct here.

Hi Gijs…I got the doc to print fully in V8 as well, but it was slow – compared to V7. The other connection, and I should know better, is that I’m working off of a doc from Dropbox, which I think is a possible issues. V8 appears to handle dropbox (more slowly) differently than V7 or maybe its just coincidental.

Thanks for looking at.

Best,

James
