Jpg quality

Hello,

I am trying to use the jpg export feature of Solidworks 2001. It works
great, but I don't seem to be able to adjust the quality. What I see on the
screen is exactly what is replicated in the file. The problem is, the
screen quality is low enough that the curved objects are somewhat jagged.

I have adjusted the "image quality" option (the thing with the little circle
that gets more or less jagged as you adjust it), but that doesn't seem to
affect how the model appears on the screen.

I have tried hitting the "green light" rebuild button (after adjusting image
quality), but that doesn't show a change either. The file is an assembly,
but I do have the box checked to copy the setting to components. Any
assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

TO get a slightly better image you can use 'AntiAlias edges', and have the
outline lines on (Show HLR edges in shaded mode or something linke that).
That sould get rid of the jagged edge. For even higher quality perhaps
create a 2D drawing, set the views to shaded with HLR edges shown, and then
save as TIFF file as you can set the resolution etc. I'm speaking of SW2003
here by the way.

I gave up on the .jpg output in S/W a year ago, because the resulting image
is just too noisy for use, and there is no apparent way to adjust. Instead I
save as a .tif and open the image up in Irfanview (free on the web) then
save it as .jpg there. Voila no noise, and Irfanview is a great little
program for image manipulation.

Another option is use a simple render (if you have PhotoWorks) unless you
want line images then I would go to a drawing and use tiff I always set my
tiff at 600dpi works great for our user manuals.
