Plotting in Different Shades

[Anonymous]

Hello AutoCAD Users,

I just want to ask why everytime I am plotting in a different shade (Hidden, X-ray, Shades of Grey) the output is blurry?

Not unless I plot in 2D wireframe shade, every line is smooth and perfect.

Can someone give me idea why or does it has a solution?

(Sample Screenshot of plot attached)

Many thanks!

Hi @Anonymous 

This happens because when printing with 2d wireframe visual style it prints the objects in Vector form and that's why it prints crisp. But when you plot it with Hidden or shaded visual style the object is converted to raster form([created of pixels) and when you zoom in it becomes blurry. One solution to overcome this is to increase the dpi while printing to PDF to make it less blurry🙂
