Graphics Issue

Graphics Issue

Graphics Issue

(OP)
I am trying to create a JPG image of one of our valves for use on our web site. I have extruded text in three areas that is extruded blibd to a height of .002". When I orient the model in an isometric orientation and fit the body to the screen I get some background bleedthrough around the text. When I zoom up around the text it looks perfect. But the further out I zoom the worse it looks. Don't misunderstand I'm not zooming out so far that I shouldn't be able to read the text. I just seem to be getting more distortion than I should. I have a very high end graphics card and my resolution is 1280 x 1024. Is there any way to render the part so I don't get this effect. Keep in mind, my final goal is to export a JPG image that will look nice on our website. Any help is appreciated.

We have had to change the font to get decent JPGs. But, I tell you, It's a real hit and miss to get things you like.

We usually import an image to another publishing package and add text there.

RE: Graphics Issue

You can try adding light fonts, so they reflects on the text. You'll have to move arround until have a good view. it's not the best way but can be useful

Hi Ken,

If you are working with 2000i, go under VIEW -> MODEL DISPLAY -> choose SHADE tab and enable SMALL SURFACES.

For 2001, the same thing under VIEW -> DISPLAY SETTINGS -> MODEL DISPLAY...

And use ALT+PRINTSCREEN keys to store the image in windows clipboard. Use CTRL+V to paste it in your program. You can change the background to white if you don't like the default background. Do not use PRO/E JPEG export because the quality is poor.

Good luck,

-Hora
