Export Images for Small Print (6 cm)

Recommended Posts

Hi there,

After one week trying to create the perfect images from VectorWorks drawings i hope some of you can help me:

I have a lot VW drawings (architectural) and have to create images files for a publication. Ill tried to export as tiff, eps and pdf the files are looking really good on the screen. But when i wants to print them to a small scale (7 cm by 5 cm) some lines will become dashed or dissapear. For example reduce to 50% is a perfect print and reduce to 40 % is really bad. Printing from VW and scanning on flatbed scanner will give a better result!!

Do somebody kow what the best way is to export drawings from VW and print them small (7 to 5 cm)!! Thanks! MP

Hello Martijn

In the image export dialog box set the print size to the desired print dimensions (in real world dimensions ? inches, centimeters) and set the resolution to, 300 DPI. Then save the image.

For perfect results, save the image in non-compressed format, like TIFF.
