V6 Goal: True PDF Export

Serengeti (Rhino WIP)

Hi Steve,
Just to clear out, this is what I asked for when asking for layer support in the Rhino PDF:

Best regards

RH-37721 is fixed in the latest WIP

176

Thanks for the info, grate news!
But since it’s probably some time until release of rhino 7, is it possible to have it included into Rhino 6 as well? there are IT restrictions in company not letting us manually install programs. And telling IT department every 30 day that they have to reinstall WIP on 11 computers is something that I don’t want to be in charge of =).

Best regards

Sorry, but no. This is a new feature which took considerable time and effort to implement. It also has not had time in the community to get feedback on what may need to be changed.

Thanks for implementing this! will vector printing from shaded mode/pen be supported in V7?

At the moment the only way to do this is use visualArq which is $800 and I’d only be buying it for that 1 feature :grimacing:

179

No, sorry that project is beyond the scope of what we are working on for V7

Thanks for the quick response @stevebaer without wanting to sound too impatient can I ask why that is?

…i’ve been hanging out for this since V5 and have seen multiple times on this forum that it was on the shoe-in list for V7. I appreciate it’s probably nowhere near as simple as it seems and requires some other feature to be overhauled… but i’m just perplexed as to how 2 guys from Barcelona were able to come up with the magic view mode that enabled this feature years ago?

VisualArq comes with it’s own caveat of bugs so the sooner i have to stop paying for it the better…

There are a lot of things we would love to implement, but haven’t completed yet. I think the V6 version of VisualARQ will continue to work in V7.

Hello,
I’m working in RhinoWIP and I don’t understand why the results of Print and Export in .pdf format are so different?
Thank you in advance!

Thanks @stevebaer ! I really love the native PDF API! But is there a problem with Unicode characters that get displayed in Rhino but don’t print to PDF? Text characters disappear when printing to Pdf?
