Weird shape when using layout

Hi,
Im trying to work with Layout. Can someone help me with this weird star-shaped shape that covers part of what I’m layouting?

Many thanks!


I’ve never seen anything like that before. pls run _SystemInfo in Rhino and post back the results.

@Gijs
Thanks. I had to change the scale of my project anyway, and when re-layouting the map in the picture, the issue resolved. But here is my systeminfo, in case you’d like it still:

thanks, can’t spot any issues in there. Hope it was a one-off fluke!

Ok so I extended the field of view of the plotting/layout window, and it still exist. I don’t know why but it works in another layout page I created so its fine by me.

I’d be interested to have a look at the file then. You can send it by pm or upload here

Uploaded!

I just discovered this, I think the problem relates to the text that was imported along with the map that haven’t scaled down/up properly.

Yes, some of the texts are really big: (I turned of layout scaling to show the texts)

Great! Many thanks for taking your time to help.
