sending Solidworks drawing out for product manual illustrations
(OP)
When saving a drawing out (even at high resolution setting) as an adobe illustrator file it imports to adobe & corel heavily pixelated or broken up. I'm trying to get a nice black & white dimensioned illustration of an assembly for a product manual and it's not going smoothly. I should be able do output my designs to graphics software or a document for this purpose and can't seem to get there without allot of modification to what comes out of solidworks. If I try to output a rendering, it's even worse. Am I missing something here? Is there a utility or function that accommodates this?

For renderings, there's no getting around the raster (pixel) output, since these are image files. But you can render an image of immense numbers of pixels if you like--several thousand pixels wide, for instance. Should do well if you're not printing bill boards.

These are not shaded views, just line drawings. Are you talking about shaded views instead?

For just 2D, DWG/DXF is good.
