Weird behavior of Vector Printing (v8 SR26)

Rhino

Hi,

Using Rhino v8 SR26 on windows 11
I am having trouble printing using Vector Output. My layout views are set to Technical. When using Raster output, it matches the layout perfectly but when using Vector output i get weird issues:

  • Text located behind 3d objects are showing through even after using the ClearDrawOrder command
  • HideInDetail objects are sometime shown, some hidden objects are also shown in broken wireframe

Above is a screenshot taken in the print preview using raster output

here is using vector output

Is there any workaround to get a matching print using vector output?
I should add that if i set my detail views’ display mode to wireframe or shaded it works fine.

Thanks!

Thanks for reporting RH-91155 Vector Printing not respecting Hide in Detail

I was able to Print correctly in Rhino 7 if that helps.
