LJ TMS Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 (edited) Can someone explain what this weirdness is when exporting to PDF? 1. Draw two circles at x:0 y:0, one with 2'0" diameter, one 2'6" diameter on a design layer with scale of 1:24 2. Create a viewport to sheet layer 3. Duplicate a few times each with a different scale from 1:200 to 1:1300 Everything looks fine on the screen... Export to PDF and things get funky. What's going on here? test_v2019.vwx test_v2019.pdf Edited October 23, 2018 by LJ TMS Quote Link to comment
Gerard Jonker Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 The export resolution is too low. Increase its setting. Shown here is the VW 2018 dialog: 1 Quote Link to comment
LJ TMS Posted October 23, 2018 Author Share Posted October 23, 2018 Thanks! The DPI setting on the Export PDF dialog does appear to help fix the issue. Although I have to set it about 1200 DPI before all the circles look correct which seems excessively high. I guess the next question is how do I set the DPI with the Publish command? This is how I normally export PDFs since my drawings almost always have multiple pages. I can't find anywhere to set the DPI when using Publish, and it doesn't appear to use the DPI of the Sheet Layer. Quote Link to comment
Mike Wright Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 In the right hand pane of the Publish dialogue if you select one or multiple sheet layers you have an 'Options' button at the bottom 1 Quote Link to comment
Gerard Jonker Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Again a VW 2018 dialog: A similar dialog opens when you hit the Options button. 1 Quote Link to comment
LJ TMS Posted October 24, 2018 Author Share Posted October 24, 2018 Well crap. Thought I explored everything in that Publish command, but somehow missed that Options button becomes active only after you move one or more sheets to the right hand side and highlight them. Thanks guys, appreciate the help! Quote Link to comment
