Rhino Questions (PrintDisplay, MatchProperties)

Hi all.

I have some questions I’d like some help on.

  • How can I enable a keyboard macro for toggling on and off Print Preview (Print Display?)

  • Can it be changed so that MatchProperties includes a hatch’s background colour?

Let me know what I need to do to resolve these the best way. I might have more to come…

Add this to a keyboard shortcut or Alias:
-_PrintDisplay s t Enter

Try this:
-_Properties -HatchProperties Match

Thank you Gijs,

Those suggestions both worked, though the second suggestion didn’t work as a command, but I found the hatch button in the properties window and it works compared to MatchProperties.

I have a related issue I’d like help on if its ok, I’m trying to resolve the discrepancies:

This is a snapshot of my layout with Print Preview enabled.
It is not showing the hatch properly, instead its black (which is the imported AutoCAD ‘AR-SAND’)

This is a snapshot of the Print window - with Vector Output, which correctly displays said hatch. However the carpet material pattern doesn’t show the correct texture mapping scale (this object alone is set to Display Mode - Rendered so as to show the material because its not a hatch)

This is a snapshot of the Print window - with Raster Output. Shows the correct material scaling, but the AR-SAND hatch fails, like in the first image.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi all - please allow me to bump this thread.

Thanks.

Hi Tim -
It’s impossible to troubleshoot an issue from a few images. Please post or upload your 3dm file so that we can take a look.

Hi Tim -

Thanks.

I’ve put this on the list as RH-84010 Hatch: Display and Print Issue

Thanks Wim - you’re awesome.

I hope they get resolved soon.

Re: RH-84014 Print: Texture is Scaled in Vector PDF

It might be more accurate to say that the texture is UNscaled in Vector PDF. The raster print is how I want it after I applied a smaller square map to it. Regardless though, there is still the discrepancy.
