image quality save?

image quality save?

image quality save?

(OP)
is there anyway to "save" the image quality? If I set the slider to high, then do anything to the part (i.e. zoom in or out) the image quality goes back to low.

RE: image quality save?

Mathey,

I just did something this morning where I needed to see a round circle and it saved the image quality. My part templates are set up for low or fast performance. Not sure if someone else may have a suggestion for you. Did you try saving the part immediatly after changing the quality? You might want to let us know what version of SW you're running and all the particulars as far as video card etc.

yup, tried the "save" immediately after making the change

RE: image quality save?

Make the change, hit Rebuild, and then save.  Colors work that way--nothing is saved without a rebuild--so maybe image quality is similar.

Mathey,

Have you figured out a solution to this issue?  I've been having the same problem and it's annoying.  I'm going to try contacting my VAR.
Thanks

A rebuild doesn't work.  If I rebuild, then save, after 20 min. or so the image quality is back to low.  I'm wondering if there's a setting that automatically sacrifices image quality for the sake of speed.

RE: image quality save?

Could be--are you in an assembly with lots of parts?

If so, can you select the Apply To All Referenced Part Documents option?

Theophilus,

Good thought.  That's what our VAR thought too.  But it happens in parts that are not used in any assembly.  I think it's just a bug.
