Export 2d draft problems


Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

Pretty new to Vectorworks.

Am exporting a simple page of table elevations with colour gradient fills to PDF.

The PDF keeps coming out grainy even though I've changed all plausible options (that I can think of).

I'm hoping someone can give me a simple solution that I've missed.

Hi Ray,

Yeah was fine on the macpro - so thanks for that. Can only get up to 72 on my mbp though. Thanks for your help.

Btw could you suggest a good tutorial for 3d modelling on VW 2009?

We've had VW for a while but its only now we've decided to make it our primary piece of software so I'm having to get to grips with it all.

Let's not forget the vital the Printer Drivers play in organizing the print to PDF processes. On OSX we also have the benefits of ColorSyn.

72dpi is just the display 'standard' that's all. Printers use upto 33x that.

It might look fine on screen @ 72 because the Video fills in the details , but the printed page is DPI specific and the result will be unacceptably grainy.
