hello everyone.
I'm having problems exporting my dwg to a pdf in autocad 2014 (Mavericks).
The dwg seems pretty good, but as soon as I export it lots of fillet lines and arcs in general (but even straight lines, sometimes) are not joined or messy.
here you are some examples of what I mean:
the draw is in 1:1 (meters) and I need to export in 1:5000

Hi benjanowitz,
to
In AutoCAD for Mac version you can not set resolution for vectors for PDF output as you can do in PC version of AutoCAD and as was advised here:
BUT!
You can use one simple trick to get output even better than on PC.
Here it is:
Create huge Custom paper size (in your file I used paper size 2100 cm x 2970 cm, save PDF from your drawing with scale 10:1 (or 1:0.1),
than open it in Preview.app (Adobe Reader can not handle such huge PDF files), then start Print it to A2 paper size with scale 2%, and select Open PDF in Preview - now you have your PDF in A2 size at 1:5000 scale (see attached)
The quality of the PDF is good.

Hi Ben,

Hey maxim, thanks so much for the video. It's great!
I keep doing something wrong.
When I do the scale 1:10 (1:17 of the video) my draw becomes super-tiny. and I tried to export it like that, but it's super f-up.
What am I doing wrong?
I attached your DWG with Viewport of desired scale in Layout1.
You need to have Custom paper size with name "Huge A2" (2100cm x 2970cm with 0 cm margins) in order to be able to save to PDF this layout.
Is your problem solved?

Could you send your video to my e-mail: mkanaev at yandex.ru ? Youtube is blocked in my office :((
And - Could you post DWG with your settings?
Maxim
That is because you scale down everything in Model space by 500 times for some reason.
I scaled your Model space by 500 times and everything is OK now.
