VA3 - Guides are not printing

Hi,
the guide objects do not print in all display modes.
As far as I can tell, they print nicely in Hidden as Vector, and in Technical as Raster.

Here’s a quick test file for 4 common cases.




Grid_printing.3dm (5.7 MB)

It would be quite handy, even necessary to have them print in wireframe and shaded as well.
There are currently too many surprises revealed at the printing stage where it’s definitely not WYSIWYG - some related to Rh8 and some to VA3.

VisualARQ 3.4.0.19712
Rh8 SR19

Hi @Toni_Osterlund thanks for reporting this issue. We are aware of it, and will fix it as soon as possible. I’ll keep you posted!

It might not be a bad idea to include “Known issues” list to your Release Candidate version update posts by @enric ..?

@Toni_Osterlund are you sure? there is a looong list of known issues that are pending to be fixed, some of them are generic, others are file-particular. We can consider that for the generic known issues or limitations.

@fsalla Of course I’m not sure. :sweat_smile: Just suggesting things from my perspective - you have the big picture in your head.

Just came to mind, as I’m stumbling onto and reporting stuff that you already know about. If there would be a way for me to check a) is it a bug, b) is it already known - this could in some cases limit your involvement in reading reports.

Hello all,

guides are still not printing - is there any improvement on that? (now they are not printing in vector as well as in raster) In addition “door-leaves” are not printing in vector.

best regards,

EDIT: ok, interestingly enough it prints when I set the displaymode to HIDDEN (visualarq), but there it only prints in vector and not in raster

Hi @Sebastian_Wimmer we are aware that guides are not currently printing to Raster output. And they only print to vector when using the Hidden display mode. We are working to fix this.
(As a workaround you can make a copy and explode them just for printing purposes).

However, I find it weird that “door-leaves” do not print either. Can you share a sample file for that? I can’t reproduce any case where door leaves don’t print as expected.

cool, thank you for your update - yes I can provide you with the file - I will upload it as soon as I can.

Thanks for the tip, I did exactly that - but having to do so many small adjustments before printing is tedious in itself.

best regards,

sebowim

Hi @Sebastian_Wimmer and @Toni_Osterlund yesterday we released VisualARQ 3.7, which fixes the issue of guides not printing in raster output. You can get this update from the web: Update - VisualARQ

Very cool, thank you @fsalla for letting me know.

I just tested it very quickly with 3.8 WIP and Wireframe Displaymode and it worked.

Best regards,

Sebowim

Hey @fsalla , I did not forget to create a sample file for the issue with the door-leaves. I wanted to create one just now - when I registered that in the file I have problems, I also can not print hatches in “wireframe” display and vector, thus I created a new clean file and there all works - so it might be a corrupt file or something, when I get to the culprit I will report back
