Provide DPI option for decals on export to dwf files

Provide DPI option for decals on export to dwf files

The DPI of images in dwf 2d/3d documents are really low and unusable. I have the decals in the parts/assemblies at 1000dpi. If there was an option to have a higher quality image export, it would increase the usability of the Autodesk Design Review program.

 

I posted in the form about this without resolution to the problem (Includes images).

Thank You.

Doesn't the DPI options under Save As pdf accomplish this. You can choose up to 4800dpi?

Thanks for pointing that out,

what this goes to show is how difficult learning inventor is...

I just tried that option (set to 4800DPI) and it does seem to change the resolution of exported decals to PDF.Capture.PNG

I totally agree with you about Inventor. One thing I think helps, is to explore all the "Options" buttons, pull down menus, and prompts in the lower left corner.

Thank you for your help. I forgot to say this is the case in Inventor 2017 and 2019. It seems like smaller decals have a higher DPI than the larger ones. They might be using a set resolution on images, then scaling the image to fit the size of the decal. I am just looking to increase the decal/image quality on DWF exports, but increasing the quality on PDFs won't hurt either.

Have you tried with a ultra high res picture?

I'm still yet to try everything and I'm hitting 2, close to three years of IV...

The decals/pictures are around 10000x4000 at 1000dpi.
