paulfraser Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 (edited) I am trying to get my drawings to a look of very clean lines along with dimensions, in elevations. I like the crisp look obtained by autocad but in Chief I seem to only be able to get drawings with shadows, even when I use Technical Drawing it tends to look more like a sketch. Any ideas of how to clean that up? I have attached two images, one name Chief wherein I get shadows and lines that look choppy, the other image from another software where lines are much smoother and no shadows Using X12 Thank you Paul Edited August 30, 2021 by paulfraser images added Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneDavis Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Give us your example of clean. Also show us Chief not-clean. We cannot help without seeing what you see. Please use screencaps and attach the images to your post. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey_martin Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 You're using the wrong camera. Use the VECTOR VIEW camera and a very specific layer set with it to control the line weights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan_Son Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 From the looks of it you're probably going to want to use Vector View (as Joey already mentioned) and turn color off. In addition, its worth noting that sending to Layout as Plot Lines will result in crisper lines than a Live View will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a habit I don't even think about anymore so I forget to mention it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
