PDF Plot Shaded Visual Style = Sawtooth Edge


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hey

Got a small issue with some PDFs I am plotting on one of my ACAD PCs.  I am plotting PDFs with Shaded visual style and one machine plots OK and the other has some sawtooth effect on the edges.  Just wondering if anyone knows what setting or variable I can adjust to improve.  It's not FACETRES, I have tried that a few times and not much improvement.  it's almost as if it's JPEG compression or something.  You can see image below the WORK PC has slightly better results

Plot settings are the same for both machines, PC3 settings are the same for both machines

What are the differences in the computers?

 

Graphics Card and/or drivers?

 

Are those images of the PDFs?

 

AutoCAD 2014?

 

Did you try the default DWGtoPDF?

Hey mate thanks for reply

 

Home PC:

Win 8.1

ACAD 2014

i7 CPU

AMD R7 250 GPU

 

Work PC:

Win 8

ACAD 2015

i5 CPU

AMD HD 7350 GPU

 

Yep these are screen caps of the PDFs

 

I'll re-test the default PC3, but pretty sure the only change from default is the DPI

It is most likely the graphics cards/drivers. They show a large difference in performance benchmarks.

 

Are the drivers up to date?

 

Do they look better in the AutoCAD plot preview?

 

What are you using to view PDFs?

 

Do those older AutoCAD versions have the High Quality PDF plotter?
