    Inventor 2013 Drawing Resolution

    We just installed Inventor R2013.  When opening drawings in R2013, the drawing resolution when one is zoomed to the extends of the drawing is very poor.  If one were to open the same drawing in R2011 & R2013 and compare the two then one would see that the resolution is better in R2011.  Is there a setting somewhere in R2013 to make the drawing resolution better?

    Thanks

    I tried what you had suggested and set the bitmap resolution to 300 dpi (the Max) and the result was the same.  I have attached a screenshot of what the drawing looks like.  If I were to open the same drawing in R2011 everything is legible including the small text in the title block.

    Hi,

     

    To me it looks like a graphics issue. Have you tried different graphics settings in Application Options -> Hardware tab ?

     

    Oto,

    Also remember that in 2013 the views have to "regenerate" when you first pull it up. Sometimes depending on the complexity of the assembly and parts it takes a while.
