  1. Each dot is three thousandths of a millimetre in diameter, and at a pitch of 4.8 thousandths of a millimetre they will be indistinguishable unless the image is substantially magnified up. I doubt that any printer could print that out accurately at a scale of 1:1. To do so it would have to print at something like 4000 DPI. Even so all you would end up seeing on any printed output is a black mass.

    Notwithstanding that try changing the Resolution settings in your Document Preferences:

    - from 5080 DPI for Pict Export to 1200 DPI

    - from 72 DPI for Printing to 1200 DPI

    If there is still a problem try making both a little higher. Good luck.

    thanks....

    got it to work now..

    increased the Pict Export to 10,000 DPI

    and Printing to 10,000 DPI..

    then, zoomed in approx. 51,000%, and then exported pdf at on-screen resolution (if that did anything)

  2. Hi,

    I'm a student and I am running Vectorworks 2008 SP1 on MacOSX 10.4.10.

    I made a design for my research with a network of circles (300 microns in diameter).

    I need to create a very high resolution pdf file to submit to the print shop where basically, I need to be able to zoom into the pdf file and still see accurate detail of my design.

    However, when I export to pdf, I am getting a file that has distorted some my circles by making some oblong and some normal.

    I have attached a zoomed screen shot of my design in vw2008, a screen shot of the created pdf (to see the difference) and the actual vwx file.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  3. ok....

    i have VectorWorks 12.01 on a Mac OSX 10.48

    i made a design for a micromodel with extremely fine details (in the 300 micrometer range).

    Now i need this to be printed on a large transparency which is done by the printing department in my school. They accept post script files for printing. When I convert my mcd file to ps, it looks fine at normal (100% magnification). However, as I increase the magnification, I notice that some of my lines are not smooth anymore and are somewhat distorted.

    Does anyone know how to make a high resolution post script or pdf? If not directly in VectorWorks, maybe some other program to do it??
