How do you increase resolution in iso (2D) drawing view

How do you increase resolution in iso (2D) drawing view

How do you increase resolution in iso (2D) drawing view

(OP)
I am trying to create camera ready art work from Solidworks drafting. I created two orthoganal standard views and a isometric view with shaded and edges on. I then try to send the image to acrobat for a PDF and it prints the orthoganal view in high resolution (1200 DPI) but the iso view looks like its set at 300 DPI or less. The iso looks like a bad bitmap with a white background . How do I increase the resolution on this image and make the back ground transparent?   

RE: How do you increase resolution in iso (2D) drawing view

Save it as a TIFF image, it can have a resolution up to 2880 dpi.  Then use another program if you want to convert it to JPG or whatever.

Try PDFCreator:

Fully customizable (auto save to folder, DPI & compression settings, etc)

'Prints' to PDF, PNG, JPG, BMP, PCX, TIFF, PS & EPS.

I love this open source tool!
