White vertical lines appear in Open GL render?

[dbrumbach]

Ok, so when rendering a camera view (viewport) within a sheet, and then print out as PDF, a white vertical line appears on the right side of each and every sheet of a drawing?

The background render settings are: Open GL, very high detail, draw edges, anti ailase on.

This problem just appered out of nowhere. Has anyone else had any anomolies like this? This only happens with Open GL, including image exports.

Hello everyone,

Please take a look at the image example in the below link to see a sample of the problem I have run into, any input would be greatly appreciated.

I see this all the time, too.

I haven't really looked to see if there is a setting in the print options to make it stop.

I may be crazy but it seems like the amount of zoom on the screen when you tell it to create the pdf makes a difference.

I've found that by zooming in or out a little bit and printing a new pdf I can make the problem go away.

Not a good answer, and I'm sure someone will have a real solution soon, but this might work for you until then.

Thanks for the insight, glad I'm not the only one who has seen this.

Dave, have you tried exporting a PDF from Vectorworks?

[dbrumbach]

Yes I have tried exporting as pdf, but no improvement.

I am printing a sheet layer with a border & title info that creates the desired deliverable. I can render this from a camera view while working within the layers and export as an image file and all is good. But the pdf export or print seems to be the problem. This also only happens with Open GL with shadows and very high detail selected. Other render modes do not present this "white line" problem?

Have you tried raising the resolution of the PDF export?

i have the same problem all the time! its sort of random :-(( sometimes it appears, sometime not, sometime it dissapears when moving the viewport sometimes by changing the resolution. Couldn't find a solution...!!! Sometimes i go on print and use the save as PDF dialog in the printer menue , which creats a large file and than go in Acrobat Prof. on Document/reduce filesize for a usable document and that worked....sometimes!!

I submitted this as a bug, hopefully we will see a correction to the problem with the next service pack.
