print with well visible solid edges

[bnfnrc88]

Hello, everyone.

thick mold of pages from layout (autocad 2008) with windows set as conceptual printing (the standard without customization). However, as you see in the attached pdf, the lines of the contours of solids are not very visible. How can you overcome this problem? I would like to practically have the visible edges of the solid shape (not only those of the "fast template" as proposed by the menu). Thank you.

e' un print screen?

no is just a print of the a4 sheet made by layout with pdf creator. Thank you.

I don't think I can really help you, but I say mine.
in my opinion the modes of visualization "conceptual", "realistic" etc etc. of autocad (I refer to 2010) are an immonda :tongue: I will be hard of understanding but I have not yet understood what the hell they serve if not, and badly, to a display monitor not too refined. thinking about printing views so displayed, then, is a thought that I finally set aside.
for what I understand, autocad does not provide a shaded view with perfectly defined contours. touch to make if you want it.
print on pdf: as the great lebowski said, you are about to enter a valley of tears...
do not expect wonders, lines will never be beautiful and sharp like vector printing. However, if you adopt that strategy now recurring in the assembly of the boards with greater "visual" character, it is very useful to print in pdf and then importing in photoshop the file intervene with color shading corrections various etc. sometimes when there is the time or the need for a rendering, for example, it can be enough to fill in flat color with photoshop the volumes of an assonometry or perspective that obtained by exporting in pdf

thanks for the attention.
the fact is that having to take a drawing (with photoshop or similar) is always time in lost +. I agree that to have excellent results we must break the so-called, but what I am looking for is a compromise.

My goal is to maintain the conceptual view (which for what I need is good) but to increase the thickness of the boundary edges. this thing if it wasn't wrong you could do with 2004 (there was no conceptual view but you could have edges ok). Moreover the same problem of thickness edges there is also with the display style "hidden 3d".

wouldn't it be a problem to make a print with rendering, the fact is that you can't assign the black edges of the solid contour (right???? Can you add that you know?? ? )

if instead mold with "wireframe 3d" I can act on the thick lines acting on the color of the solids (penes assigned in the print style). At this point, however, I do not feel good for the obvious reason that the hidden lines are also seen.

the pdf press speech could be improved with acrobat adobe programs?

help

I understand, I would also like to have a ready-to-use view from autocad, I think it is appropriate to learn revit (a good answer, you will say).
There are a lot of experts in here who I think will be able to respond with knowledge of the cause. I as I told you never mold the visualization styles you mentioned, but only the pdf of the hidden display 2d, a white and black in short, both for assonometrics and for perspectives. all this waiting to have the time to go to exploit revit, and live (almost) quiet regarding the views....
I don't think things change with acrobat. However, by printing with the 1200 you said it is impossible that it is not good!

if I don't remember badly in the menu view there is a solid display option, and if you choose to view edges in garroud mode....or something like that you should see well. I hope I've been quite clear and understand the problem.

I asked if it was a print screen because the press seemed pretty definite to me for a "normal" conceptual print, see if you solve your problem properly setting these variables:

vs.hedgescheck the display of solid object templates in the display style applied to the current window.

0 = off
1 = onvssilhwidthspecifies the pixel width of the edges of the templates in the current window. the range is between 1 and 25.Since these settings are applied to the current window, when you print you have to set "as displayed"

hi marco I didn't see that kind of visualization, can you explain to me better?

But be careful.. I didn't say when printing on paper doesn't print well.
the fact is that you see badly video, regardless of the pdf I posted, even for simple 2d drawings with black lines to understand.
I care that you display a good/excellent video quality document.

the problem of solid thickness is definitely due to possible or presumed settings within autocad .
the problem of poor pdf quality is due instead to me especially to the print device.

 

[warburg]

ah well, you wrote "stampo often from layout etc etc" so I thought about paper.
I don't think there's a lot of improvement options for the video, or better, I don't know them.

http://books.google.it/books? == sync, corrected by elderman == if you go to the posted link see the command to use which is also in the menu view.

hi marco maybe you hadn't seen well, but I use autocad 2008 and that kind of shadow is not present.

hi gp those 2 variables are those of the "fast needle" and I had already tried to change them but do not evenly change all the lines of the contour of the solid.
attach print preview and its molded pdf, with variable settings vssilhedges=1 and vssilhwidth=10.

I don't understand why this difference between print preview and printed pdf....

hi marco maybe you hadn't seen well, but I use autocad 2008 and that kind of shadow is not present.

I actually did 2 tests today at work and in the 2008 version there is not what I told you to watch, however the pre-set views do just cag....

.... those 2 variables are those of the "fast synagoma" and I had already tried to change them but do not change evenly all lines solid contour.

then try this procedure:

- you know a layer that's not solid.
- xspigoli command
- transforms objects created in polylinee and assigns a width, or assigns a layer line thickness

thanks gp, your intervention was illuminating.:finger:

practically without doing any command, it was enough to give the line thickness directly to the selected solid. so I attributed the max thickness of 2.11 mm and the result is for me a satisfying apt (allego).

only thing is the pdf resolution to video: really painful, then on paper is ok.
do you know how to get high quality pdf that can be displayed perfectly without "settings"?
