Does anyone know how to create high resolution pictures from the Solidworks models to use in a brochure? I don't have photoworks. I tried saving as .jpg and .tiff but the resolution is still not good enough.

thanks in advance,

Al

Do a screen shot and crop out what you need and save as a Jpeg. You will need some type of Image software. Also try using "Save as PDF".

Insert the view onto a drawing page, and click on the shaded view. This will make it a colored picture on the drawing page. Then do a file save as a .tif, click on the option box, chose RBG full color, uncompressed, print capture, DPI (600 if you are using most color printers, or 100 dpi for web pages.), choose as small of paper size as will fit. You may have to experiment with scaling and paper size to reduce background size. Then you should have a usable image. We use Corel photo paint to fix the back ground and convert to .jpg or .gif.
 
If You want to use Scott's method but you want an even higher image-quality you could set your screen-Resolution higher, IE 2048x1536. If you restore the settings afterwards you will have a good quality picture.
