Hi Michael,

I am having some issue with the PDF export. I need to export a drawing to scale and so I selected the preserve units option. The drawing is exported to scale but the objects are somehow misplaced.

If I do not select "center on page" the origin in the model correspond with the 0,0 in the drawing sheet, so the object is placed next to the bottom-left corner. If I do select "center on page" the objects are placed in the top right corner and mostly out of the paper rather than at the centre of the sheet.

Would it be possible to set somehow a margin on the left side and at the bottom of the page (10mm or plus) in the PDF sheet so that I can control the distance from the origin without moving the drawing around?

Thanks,
Salvatore

Hi saltab,

it's an issue of the latest beta version, please read this thread https://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=9942.46

Michael works on correction.

Hi Salvatore, yes it's a bug in the current v4 beta that the "Center on page" option actually centers around the top-left corner of the page instead of in the middle of the page. If you send me an e-mail I can send you a test version with a fix but also the next beta release where it will be fixed is imminent.

Thanks Michael,

I think I could wait for the new version if you say is imminent.

Best,
Salvatore

Hi Salvatore, yes it's close probably a couple more days working out some last bugs for perspective handling.

The PDF/AI export is all ready (and looking slick!!!), but there were a couple new bugs reported in some other unrelated areas so I'm clearing those out before wrapping it up. Another day or two maybe.

Wonderful news Michael, very much looking forward to being able to have your new annotations/dimensions exported to PDF! I know you've mentioned that annotations and dimensions turned out to be a larger effort than anticipated but it is a wonderful addition which will be greatly appreciated by many, cheers to you!

Thanks Larry, yes I think it's going to help make MoI useful for some more things!
