Lurking Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 So i've drawn a car's blueprint in autocad and tried to plot to see the result how the picture would look like if i tried to print it, but what i got was pretty horrible: http://imgur.com/VfqMQ8C Lines are very very jagged, the picture just looks bad. Viewres is at 20000. So maybe someone knows what's wrong here? Why lines are not smooth? Quote
MSasu Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 The image you linked is a screen-shot from AutoCAD and the lines/curves looks OK to me. Not sure what issue do you have when put those on paper - please try to print it as PDF and attach the result here. Quote
rkent Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 The lines on screen will appear that way, but because we are dealing with vectors, when plotting the line will be smooth and continuous. Your image looks like a screen capture rather than an actual plot of the drawing. Quote
welldriller Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 It looks as though you used the ARC command and may print/plot as rKent has explained in post #3 have you tried setting points along the roof curve and using the SPLINE command Quote

Your image looks like a screen capture rather than an actual plot of the drawing. It was plot screen capture. Yeah sorry guys, but i did as MSasu told me to, exported to pdf and the result was good - the lines were very smooth. I just thought that "plot preview" shows you how the actual image will look like when it will be printed, but as i've learned i was wrong. It's just strange, wasn't expecting to work it this way. Thanks for help again! Quote
