Rhino 8 Feature: Linetype Enhancements

Thank you, @Per .
Currently, are a couple ways to accomplish outline curves. But it will take a couple steps.
Here are some suggestions:

  • You can use the Silhouette command to trace the geometry and generate curves.
    When you have your curves, use the custom linetypes as described in this post to add any width or taper to your lines.

  • If you have an image that is not surfaces, polysurfaces or other 3D geometry which Silhouette requires, you can use the Rhino called Vectorize. (You can generate that by screen capture and paste to trace. Lots of ways to accomplish this.) The Rhino 8 Vectorized has been improved a lot. In Rhino type PackageManager and search for Vectorize. (See this thread on Vectorize). When you have your curves, use the custom linetypes as described in this post to add any width or taper to your lines.
    Trace your image with Vectorize.

  • If you are want text curves, just create text as curves with the TextObject command. as curves
    When you have your curves, use the custom linetypes as described in this post to add any width or taper to your lines.

Sincerely,
Mary Ann Fugier
