Steve Clarkson Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 (edited) Hi, I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing this.... I'll update an render in a viewport, and then export to a PDF, then seemingly randomly, it will either save directly or re-render. It's extremely inconveniencing to spend the time to render and then the same amount of time to save an export. And while the first render can be done in the background, the export one cannot, adding extra frustration. Am I missing something? Again, it seems random. Thanks Edited February 13, 2019 by Steve Clarkson Quote Link to comment
Andy Broomell Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 It's probably related to a checkbox called "Update visible out of date viewports before exporting" towards the bottom of the Export PDF dialogue box. (I tend to leave this unchecked.) It shouldn't be random, but it might seem random because it won't re-render if all viewports are considered up-to-date. Try unchecking this setting and see if that fixes your issue. 1 Quote Link to comment
Steve Clarkson Posted February 13, 2019 Author Share Posted February 13, 2019 That sounds like the problem! Thanks! Quote Link to comment
EAlexander Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Also make sure that SAVE VIEWPORT CACHE is on in Document Preference, though I suspect Andy has found the issue. Quote Link to comment
Steve Clarkson Posted February 13, 2019 Author Share Posted February 13, 2019 I'll look at that too, but yes, Andy has saved me time and frustration already. Cheers Quote Link to comment
