Gawdzira Posted Thursday at 10:28 PM Share Posted Thursday at 10:28 PM Why would I lose the line extend and squigliness? Print to pdf Elevation view with line extension etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the line drawing settings are related to the view size in the elevation, and the DPI settings in Save as PDF..? I suspected the Save as PDF DPI setting right off the bat, and went experimenting. I opened a file elevation and set it the same as yours, watercolor with the same line drawn settings. I noticed when zooming in and out in elevation view, that the line drawing effect scaled with the zoom. I never noticed that before. When I saved a 600 DPI PDF, the line effect was greatly diminished from the elevation view and the layout view. Changing the DPI to 72 retained the line settings (mostly) but was fuzzy. Increasing to dramatically exaggerated line settings looked ridiculous in layout, but preserved the effect in PDF: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gawdzira Posted Friday at 10:57 PM Author Share Posted Friday at 10:57 PM Thanks for taking a look at that. I think I had my DPI set to 300 so I will try to drop that down to 144 and see if this affects it, positively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you seeing this too? I never noticed the line effect scaling with the zoom. In other words, when zooming in real close the extent and squiggle effects were diminished. Wasn't sure if it was just my file... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gawdzira Posted yesterday at 04:45 PM Author Share Posted yesterday at 04:45 PM I am seeing the same thing. The behavior I would expect would be that the length of line extension would be based on real world scale. Instead it appears to be pixel value.
