Rhino 8 bug report

Rhino
1

McNeel requests to report bugs to their APIs or SDKs, but I have no clue what that stands for, so hopefully this is the correct place.

I found two annoying issues with Rhino 8 after short use:

  1. the Menu that appears for Layers. Materials, Properties etc is reaaally small, especially when dragged to a second screen. In fact it is unreadable and it seems that the font size cannot be increased. This is so bad that I returned to using Rhino 7.
  1. Now back in Rhino 7, the Pictures (Picture command) that were inserted in Rhino 8 files (when saved as R7 file) are distorted and rotated.

Thanks for reporting.

We’ll need some additional details to try and replicate.

@baldo I’m especially interested in this bug, but I can’t reproduce it here. Do you have a file that shows this issue? You can upload it here or send it privately to pierre@mcneel.com via email or using this form.

This is what I tried:

  • Open a new file in Rhino 8
  • Use the _Picture command to insert a picture frame
  • Save the file as Rhino 7 format
  • Open it in Rhino 7
  • The picture displays with the same size and orientation in both versions

Thanks for following up on this, Pierre.

I tried same as you did below and that worked fine.
…so not sure how the 90degr rotation and 1-directional scaling of the pictures happened in the earlier conversion .

I hope that the (unreadably small) menu font-sizing issue on second screen will be fixed soon, so that I can start working in Rhino 8…then no need to use exports to R7 anymore anyway, solving all issues.

Keep up the good work. I love Rhino

Hi Japhy,
Thanks for looking into the unreadably small menus in Rhino 8 when they are on a secondary screen.

Attached I added some screenshots on what happens.

Hope this helps,
Baldo
