I use Rhino for all of our drawings, from Renders and Design Development through Detailing, production drawings, shop drawings, and so on. The drafting tools are great and I prefer them to AutoCAD. I am NOT a fan of plot styles/ pen styles and Rhino gives you the ability to create layers with precise line types, and I prefer this control. If you are used to the command line in Rhino for Windows, all the functionality of the Rhino for Windows command line is in Rhino for Mac. To start a command, just start typing. Your text will appear in the command field in the left sidebar. You can press Return or press the space bar to start the command. Rhino for Mac sucks. However some of the problems you describe happen in Rhino for PC too. The lineweights - they should ideally be resolved in CAD or Illustrator. Rhino isn't meant for this. The problems with the clipping plane etc arise usually when the model is too far from the origin. Just try to move it to the origin and try again!

Hi Nenov

When I have to do the same with a complex form I usually go through maya which can export an .ai file and works well with meshes!

In rhino I ll go through a combination of 'meshToNurb' and 'extract Wireframe' along with make2D

Cool bulb,

Filippos

Maya is so complex... I've tried the mesh to nurbs but rhino tells me it's too heavy for my computer.

I've tried also to export the thing directly from rhino to ai file but when i am openning the file in illustrator it's very laggy and it exports everything even the lines behind ...

I don't know what to do...
