MovingandShaking Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Hi there! I'm looking for tips on how to make the graphics in my elevations look more crisp and CAD-like. They currently look fuzzy. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robdyck Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 In fact, I can't see anything at all! Kidding of course! Post an image showing the settings you currently use and the results... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 It would be great to know what version of the software you are using and the method you are currently using for your elevations. Plot Lines are pretty standard for CAD and have been in use for a long time. Maybe try that as a comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovingandShaking Posted May 27, 2020 Author Share Posted May 27, 2020 Thanks for your replies. I'm using X11. The attached elevation used the Technical Illustration rendering technique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are set on Technical Illustration. Using X11 it should print at a higher resolution than it will show on your screen. If you have not done it already print it to PDF at a reasonably high resolution and check the results to see if they are satisfactory. There is also an option to use color fill with Plot lines if you go that way but it may require some modifications to your materials to look correct. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The attached elevation used the Technical Illustration rendering technique. As Michael said, a Vector View with Plot Lines, Color Fill will probably deliver what your looking for. I'd suggest lowering the shadow intensity experiment with the use of Shading Contrast (technique options for Vector View). To reduce the perception of fuzziness, may I also suggest replacing that hairy font with something that's not afraid of a razor? Something sans serif should help reduce bleeding eyes when looking at that on a screen. Solid arrows will also improve the feel of the end result. Just suggestions...
