Steward Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Hi All I have recently come back to 3D modelling after not using for nearly 10 years. I have picked up the new software quite quickly as i have been using the 2D package over that period and have used Sketchup although infrequently. My problems seem to occur when I try to print from my model. I would like to print in 3D Hidden but all i get whether to PDF or the work printers is what you see on the attached link. I would also like to print conceptual isometric views of the model but when I try they come out pretty bad quality no matter how high i set the DPI. Although they are only simple colours it would be nice to have more precise and defined lines. I have a feeling that this may need rendering and if that is the case just let me know and i can research that aspect of the package. Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated. I am using AutoCAD 2010 Many thanks in advance 3D Hidden.pdf Conceptual.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ringis Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Hallo! I´m using Architecture 2009 and in my Swedish verison we have an display configuration called "presentation" and when we make PDF´s or hardcopys they look really good. Sharp lines and colors are ok. Post a part of your file and I will make a PDF as a test for you. If that is what you looking for, I´m sure there is way to set the display config on your version as well. //Tobias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steward Posted October 21, 2009 Author Share Posted October 21, 2009 Lets hope this works. https://rcpt.yousendit.com/758321637/1828b2092c35dcf3f55599c99d0a927c How do you set the display configuration? The only thing I can find that is similar is the DPI settings when printing. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ringis Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Hallo again! I have downloaded your file, and converted it in TruwView but I get a Fatal Error opening it in 2009, can you export to DWG 2007 format and I will give it a try. I made a quick example for you with a box in conceptual and in presentation, I use PdfCreator. I think It looks ok, of course the lines are not precise, but when I make a hardcopy on our printer It looks very good. The example in conceptual is printed in modelspace, and the presentation is from a layout tab i call Presentation and is controlled by the display config. It uses the materials you choose on your objects. I hope you understand, and remember that I´m using Architecture. I have not made this display config, it comes from our Cad firm that deliver our programs. Yo can Email me your file at tobiasasa?hotmail.com /Tobias Box conceptual_400dpi.pdf Box presentation_300dpi.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
