Excel into Solidworks
Excel into Solidworks
(OP)
I'm copying from Excel into solidworks and everything works and looks fine until I try to publish to edrawings, everything I copied from Excel looks blurry as an edrawing. Has anyone had this problem?

Check to make sure that the font you are using in Excel matches the font used in SW. If the SW drawing looks OK, it shouldn't change in eDrawing, but it's worth a try.
Is everything on the white background being copied-n-pasted 'en masse' from an Excel spreadsheet?
RE: Excel into Solidworks
However if you zoom in on the SW drawing you will (may) see that the resolution is not as good as the native SW annotations. An OLE object is just an image of the original, so I assume image degradation is taking place and being exagerated when converting to eDrawing.

You should let your VAR & SW know of the problem & solution.

You might try that check box. It sometimes improves print quality for us, but its true function doesn't seem well defined.
