      Hi All

      I wonder if anyone might know if you can export/print the profile lines only to 2d (Autocad/PDF)?

      We routinely export elevations to cad and then spend hours tracing the outline with a thicker pen.

      Any help appreciated

      Andre

        It doesn't look like it. There's no control over the line weight in the export.

          Indeed. In SU, you can achieve a '"profile only" look but that's only a visual "cheat" (see settings below) but once you export to any vector format (even when exported to LayOut and turning on vector or hybrid rendering), all the edges not displayed in SU will "come back".

          If a raster only output were enough, you could use the above method but that's apparently not what you need.

            Thanks for the feedback. Gaieus I've tried a number of these variations but without luck. It works for sections because the section line can be exported. Maybe someone will write a clever Ruby oneday...
