Any more surprises than the PDF in the next beta ? :)

Hi Pilou,

> Any more surprises than the PDF in the next beta ? :)

The PDF/AI/DXF export is the main thing, there are a few other minor new things as well.

Zero things left on the list! I'll see if I can make a build before I fall asleep...

New Nov-19 beta is up: http://moi3d.com/beta.htm

It will take me a bit to assemble the release notes and make the regular main announcement.

The main new thing is hidden line removal when exporting to AI, PDF, and DXF formats.

If you make some nice hidden-line exports to PDF / AI / DXF, it would be cool to see some posted here!

Some quick notes:

Shift while drawing now works for an enhanced straight snap. When you hold down shift straight snap will have priority over object snap, and the current straight snap line will stay locked on for as long as you hold shift. Also when you hold down shift straight snap will activate to the closest straight snap line regardless of how far away it is to the mouse.

AI format for clipboard transfer should work on on OSX.

Some bugs fixed in surface/surface intersection, some cases that didn't work before with things like 2 pipes crossing each other should work better now.

Layers are exported to DXF format

Bug fixes to Blend between 2 edges that touch each other at sharp "pole points", and to order sorting for loft to point.

Thanks Michael! Very cool outcome.
Here's one straight off the bat without delving too much, piece of cake with professional result :)

Just at first glance a couple of things; an option to open the file after generation for PDF I guess don't know about the other two formats they'd have to be associated to a program.

Landscape/Portrait option?

That's all for now.

Cheers

Thanks Danny - that's a good looking result right off the bat! :)

I think I see a couple of spots where some silhouettes may have been missed, can you please e-mail me that model to moi@moi3d.com so I can test some with it?

Maybe just for PDF only I guess? The other formats are kind of more editing oriented...


> Landscape/Portrait option?

Yeah some page setup stuff would probably be good. I'm not entirely sure if I'll get that in quite yet, I am a little burned out on wrestling with PDF. But it would be good to be able to get a final PDF generated straight out.


Thanks for testing it!
