Low DPI layout printing

[DanielleDubuc]

Hi,

When I send a layout to the printer I get a warning telling that "Printer DPI value is low: 96 DPI". When I try to modify the DPI value, there is nothing else thant 96 in the drop down menu.

 

But when I send the plan file of the same drawing to the same printer, I get  600 DPI.

 

Can someone tell me if there is a way to set the layout printing to a higher DPI?

 

Thanks in advance

Hi Danielle,

Try using "Chief Architect save as PDF" in the printer dropdown.

then print the pdf to your printer.

that is interesting, I would submit that to CA, one would think the available DPI would not be contingent on layout vs plan

This is a good suggestion Michael, it's what I currently do. But I would really like to print right from the layout and save a little time.

Thanks  for the suggestion.
