Draft Quality Views

Draft Quality Views

Draft Quality Views

(OP)
When im in a large drawings, and save it, SW will sometimes give me a dialog box stating that some views will be saved in draft quality, and will be updated to best quality next time the document is opened.  Anyonw know how to force the best quality before saving?  When I go to print, the views in questions wont print.

RE: Draft Quality Views

The draft quality dialog box is a result of SW programming changes.

After a drawing is opened, in order to reduce the time a user has to wait to make a change, the SW processes have been split up.

solidworks.exe is ready for use, but there is another process still working in the background updating the drawing views.

It still takes time to build all the views so all you can do is wait.  Appearances go a long way making one think a program has gotten faster or slower.

I did notice that the views would eventually update given a little time.
