Appearance bitmaps lose resolution when enlarged in drawing

I posted this on the Design and Document forum (same title, 24 views, no replies).  I guess it's a bug so I am copying it here too.

I have a stone wall appearance, generated from a photo. The model looks like this:

wall screenshot (design).JPG

This is  a small component in a large landscape.  When I make a drawing of the landscape at 1:1000 and enlarge the wall section (1:50), it only appears in low resolution:

It is still in low resolution if I then export the drawing as a pdf.  What can I do about it, other than taking a screenshot of the model and inserting the image into the drawing?

 

Thanks

Roger

Hi @r.moss 

 

I was doing a search through the forums, looking for any posts that are related to the features that we published in July, which you should all have access to by now. We now have a toggle that improves the resolution of the underlying image in a view, details can be seen here (scroll down a little):  https://www.autodesk.com/products/fusion-360/blog/july-2023-product-update-whats-new/#Drawings

 

As a follow-up to this, I'd be interested to understand how your drawings look after using the new view toggle. If any of you are up for it, here is a link to my calendar, please book a 30-minute session with me, and we can chat on Zoom (Note that times are in 24:00 format so 03:00 is 3am, 15:00 is 3pm). Or if a good old-fashioned email is more your style, feel free to ping me Clint. Brown {a} Autodesk.com
