Rhino 8: Make2D from blockinstance not generating anymore?

Hello everyone,
I have the following issue in Rhino 8:
Since a few weeks I can no longer create a 2D drawing from a block instance at the edge of a layout. Has the behavior perhaps changed with the last service release (SR14)?

The following steps can be used to recreate the problem:

  • Create a simple 3D object.
  • Convert to a block
  • Create layout
  • Insert a block instance next to the layout
  • create a drawing with _Make2D from block instance

The error message appears in Rhino 8:
”Command: _Make2D
No geometry has been selected to create Make2D. Nothing changed”
(Translated from my German Version)

It works in Rhino 7.
And when I explode the block in R8, it works again.

I use this technique to create detailed layouts of individual parts of larger assemblies. So far it has worked well this way.

Can anyone give me a hint if I have configured something wrong or if it is a changed procedure and I need to change my files?

Hi -

It looks like this bug was inserted in 8.9.
I’ve put this on the list as RH-85517 Make2D: No Output from Block On Layout
