Saving Drawings as PDF's
Saving Drawings as PDF's
(OP)
Hi there,
I am trying to create a pdf file of a simple 13-view solidworks drawing to be emailed to our artwork export so they might zoom in on the pdf and see the fine detail that is present on the design. I'm talking detail down to a quarter mm. The sheet format is an A3 with the views of the model set to 1:2 scale. The problem is that when the PDF is created it is fine to view at full screen or 100% but we need to be able to 'zoom' the pdf which is where the drawing loses all of the fine detail. Are there any suggestions on how to quickly and simply create a file where this problem can be overcome? I have tried detail settings, changing image quality to high, but without success. Many Thanks in advance.

In older versions, if a drawing has ANY shaded views, then the PDF output is raster. Raster output will blur as one zooms in.
A drawing with only wireframe views will be saved in vector format, which retains image resolution regardless of zoom feactor.

Have you tried sending your artwork export an eDrawing of the drawing file to accompany the pdf for viewing the fine detail?
