Family Print To Image Settings

Hi All,

 

I am trying to print the family I created below as a JPEG image file so it looks exactly as shown in the 3D view.  Meanwhile, each time execute a print the edge lines appear too thick and end up not being fit for purpose. 

 

Can anyone please recommend any print settings to achieve the maximum image quality possible for my family printing?

adjust your scale on your 3d image before printing as an image, so make it 1:1 for ultra thin lines and then 1:5 would have slightly thicker lines and so on

Are you able to send me a little screen shot of where to find this setting? Thanks

As you can see from my family settings below, the settings above will only apply when I load the family into a project but I do not intend to load them into a project yet before printing. Are there any other options?

Also in the family se below View 1 from the desk family... as i previously stated either at the top Left or the BOTTOM left 🙂 which ever applies

 

Alternative to printing use Shift+Win+S to take a snippet of the screen and save that as a .png image

Another alternative? go to Manage >> Additional Settings and change the line weights to something super very thin 🙂 something will work eventually
