SketchUp 2019 - export to PDF, iso view has wrong scale

autarchos · 4 Sept 2019, 15:26

Can someone confirm whether this is a bug or if there's something going on with my model that I'm not catching? I have relied on sketchup to export scaled pdfs for my graphic workflow for the past 10 years, so i'm not new to this process.

The attached graphic shows a 10'x10'x10' cube exported from both SU 2018 and SU 2019. I have exported to PDF at a scale of 1"=10' and opened the pdfs in Illustrator as I usually do. The isometric cube exported from 2018 has sides that measure 1" as they should. The isometric cube exported from 2019 has sides that measure 0.8165". The right view cube exported from 2019 measures 1"x1", as it should. i have checked and rechecked my settings before exporting the isometric cube in 2019, but I still end up with this improperly scaled geometry.

Can anyone confirm whether this is a bug?

Thanks,
Pete

bumping this post. it's had 2,592 views and not a single response.

can someone confirm this bug? it would be nice if a sketchup staff member could look at this and fix it please. i just installed the latest release and this problem has not been addressed. this is preventing my company from upgrading to sketchup 2019, as this makes our standard graphic workflow unusable.

Do you see this in LayOut too?

Thanks, Dave. Unfortunately, I don't use layout, so can't speak to that. Our workflow goes from Sketchup to Adobe Illustrator via PDF.

This happened to me too since 2019.

I think it is a sneaky bug that just got in and no one hardly noticed, but yes, Isometric views export to DWG or other line software aren't up to scale.

I use it often to to Iso views in my 2D cad drawings, and they aren't to scale since the 2019 version, they used to be before.

At first I thought it was some plugin issue (because I use a lot of them and I sometime encounter compatibility problems, but I did a few clean re-install since and it was there nonetheless.

I just kinda live with it now
