@atis-s Hi, I think the node names are automatically hidden on purpose when the graph is really zoomed out. As a work around, would you try adjusting the zoom level and exporting again? If you are requesting the node name to always show, this may require our team add a new setting to preferences panel

Hi, just tried to zoom-in and this works: now the Node names are present. But in my opinion this functionality (zoom level affecting exported image Node names) is rather a bug as the exported image is always zoomed to fit all Nodes i.e. the zoom does not affect exported image size. Or am I wrong and this is by design so that User can hide Node names for some reason. Either way, a setting in Export dialog would be greatly appreciated.

@atis-s Points taken, tracked internally as https://jira.autodesk.com/browse/DYN-6198. We will see if we can introduce such setting in Dynamo v3.0

Thank you! I was thinking about this today and it would be great if User could set export zoom level. For example: if there is huge graph and User just wants to export overview with no names, no input/output names, small nodes etc. he would select 50% on Export dialog. Or 100% for standard export, or 150% for zoomed-in image, where all nodes are very well visible. Good luck with development!

I have a PR open to introduce a setting to control if Dynamo should hide node details when zoomed out at https://github.com/DynamoDS/Dynamo/pull/14930. I did notice that the port names are currently not same behavior with node names so we need to work on that decision as well. The defined zoom level at export action is also an interesting idea though.
