Fredo649 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 When I do a wall section view and send it to layout when it is printed you can hardly read the printing it is blurry. What am I doing wrong ? SHEET 9 SECTION AT A.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJPotter Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 It looks like to me that the detail is an image or PDF as opposed to a CAD detail created of 2D lines, arcs and text. Images, PDFs are pixel-based and thus tend to blur or pixelate whereas 2D CAD lines and Text do not. DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you possibly show tips on creating a section view using a CAD detail method , I am not sure if I've tried that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it is called CAD drafting work There is no trick or tip involved, such things can be downloaded from the WWW and then edited but I usually just create them from scratch using 2D CAD tools and Text, it is what draftspersons do for a living.

Fredo649 Posted January 17, 2020 Author Share Posted January 17, 2020 Yes that is what I was doing , I'm I possibly saving it wrong when sending to a layout page ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJPotter Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 I recommend that you create the CAD detail in a plan view, named CAD Detail or similar and draw your CAD Details in that plan. From there they can easily be sent to a Layout file page for laying out for printing and you can reuse them for future projects. DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might say/post images so we know what you are doing. Have you reviewed the documentation? Probably some info in the Knowledge Base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJP Finally figured it out , I had a senior moment I think but got it now , Thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
