coarse object lines in printing and saving as pdf

hi
the problem i am having is coarse object lines in printing and saving
as pdf in 2207. Dimensions look fine. I have had a problem a few
times on different prints in the past month. I tried it on a few
different plotters of different brands so it's not the plotters or
drivers.


I had this same problem with some prints back in solidworks 2004 and I
know other people had the same problem by reading it some some forums
back then. The problem was never fixed in 2004 but work fine in 5
release of solidworks 2005.

tedch support told me to put the display quality at high but that did
not work


any ideas/ solutions?

 

Prior to SW2007, shaded images on a drawing would cause all views to
print to PDF as raster, not vector. This seems to have been resolved
in SW2007.

Any shaded images on your prints?

 

no, I don't have any shaded views. It was sent to solidworks corp.
last week and they can't even fiqure it out

 

It sounds like you are printing views that are still in draft mode. In
2007 there has been a huge problem trying to print drawings just loaded
and not having the views all resolved. This makes those views draft
until they all get loaded and then "automatically" switch to normal
views. There should be a tick box in the print dialog to not print views
in draft mode.

 

thank you!!!! that did it

 

Just FYI here. i use the save as to PDF format but we changed one of
the options settings to "high quality". this makes a very good
output. one drawback is the file size, about 3 times the size made
with other programs. iQ
