    Inserting a PDF/Picture file into a drawing sheet - (Quality Issue)

    Thanks again for the replies. I created a pdf with a dpi of 1200!! I then inserted that file into solidworks and hey presto.....the same poor quality as previous! I am now convinced it is not the pdf file itself but the way Solidworks handles the insertion of the pdf file. This has been a...

    Inserting a PDF/Picture file into a drawing sheet - (Quality Issue)

    I think it was created straight from solidworks. PDF of a drawing. Quality is great and inserts perfectly and scales perfectly in AutoCad but not in Solidworks.

    Inserting a PDF/Picture file into a drawing sheet - (Quality Issue)

    I am currently using Soldworks 2010 SP2.0 and the pdf I am trying to insert has been created in "high quality" and does not need scaled when it comes in. However the quality is very poor when inserted into my drawing sheet. I have tried BMP, JPEG, PDF....no luck so far. Please help! Thanks.

    Inserting a PDF/Picture file into a drawing sheet - (Quality Issue)

    I am trying to insert a PDF or a JPEG into my drawing sheet but the quality is terrible. Has anyone found a way to do this and keep a good quality print?

    Detailing Diameter's in a Section View.

    It looks like unless you insert model dims then SW just assumes a linear dimension. That's ok, I thought I'd ask as we dimension manually to cylindrical sections regularly and it I seem to have this habit of forgetting to add the diameter symbol! It would be good to have this...

    Detailing Diameter's in a Section View.

    Imagine a circular bar with a bore to keep it simple. I created the sketch and revolved. In the drawing I took a side view and sectioned it to get a view showing the internals. If I then use smart dimension to dimension the O/D or I/D I get the correct size but as a linear dimension (no...

    Detailing Diameter's in a Section View.

    We are currently running SW 2007 but no matter how many releases there are why haven't solidworks come up with a way to detail a diameter in a section view which applies the diameter symbol automatically. Regardless of the view being a section, why isn't solidworks smart enough to know the face...

    Hyperlinking in Solidworks Drawing

    I am having a problem with Hyperlinking within the Solidworks Drawing. We have standard parts which I have added to the Drawing Template via some hyperlinks, however when you start a new drawing using the template, the links are broken (it links to the main solidworks folder). Same thing...
