Hi Silvano,

I believe this is the same issue raised here [Doesn't print to BMP](http://discourse.mcneel.com/t/doesnt-print-to-bmp/849) which is filed as RH-20279. This report is not visible publicly at the moment. I’ll add your description to that bug report as well.

I’m not seeing this issue here in testing the latest service release of Rhino 5. I switched viewports manually in a 4 view layout, used the command ‘Top’ to switch via command and also tried Ctrl+Tab to toggle to Top view in a maximized viewport. Can you tell me anything else about how you are doing this?
