Hi, V6 WIP attached the test file, to see what happens to a 100mm x 100mm box and its line weight test lines and circles. method to establish what weights to apply to lines for desired appearance in photoshop. By the way why doesnt a 1mm line weight have line filling out a 1mm high row of grid s…

[image] Steve1: Open the pdf into photoshop, choose 600dpi, which in eps mode would make the file same size dimensionaly as in source prog, so our box would be 100 x 100mm, preview pane shows though all objects…oh dear… DPI does not tell the whole story for exporting from Rhino to 2D formats …

Hi, attached printscreens of the three stages, I go file export selected, choose scale 1:1 and 600dpi, then open result into photoshop, seleting 600dpi to retain that side of things, and get not just the 100x100 box but everything.

Well, yes, AI is slightly weird too in that respect and we seem to have got away with it… so maybe it’s just fine. -Pascal

SVG is going to be this way too, FYI :slight_smile: Really any time you go from 3D to 2D you need to pick some sort of projection and the active view has always been our best guess.
