AutoCAD 2013 :: Quality Of PDF Output When PDF Underlay Is Used
Nov 5, 2012
I'm not sure if I have a difficulty with all .pdf plots from AutoCAD, or if it mainly concerns those with .pdf underlays. I am generating some drawings usings .pdf underlays with other information added to the underlay information.
The underlay appears to be exhibit good line and text resolution. When I zoom into the overlay, I can read the information and the quality looks great.
The problem seems to be when I then plot a drawing as a .pdf. Using Acrobat to increase the zoom level, the lines and text on the drawing become very distorted and are hard to read.

I'm using a PDF overlay which looks perfect in CAD and print Preview. When printing to PDF the quality drops to a level which is useless. I have tired increasing DPI and Quality settings but the outcome is the same.
Print Screen Of Print Preview - Notice Quality of text on the panel
Print Screen Of Actual PDF - Text unreadable...

EDIT-- It seems I can't upload an image big enough to show the issue. You'll have to take my word for it.

After loading a single 24x36 road plan and profile PDF drawing as an underlay, Autocad is so slow and jerky I couldn't work with it. The PDF file size is about 1 MB. I need to load at least 10 more, so it is a hopeless endeavor to use the PDFs. I'll have to convert them another format such as to JPG to get the job done.
How to use this functionality, but if the performance isn't greatly improved it might as well not even be included in the product.

Client of mine has been experiencing slowness with AutoCAD LT 2013.
The program works fine when working on floor plans. However when they open up any PDFs to be using as an underlay, AutoCAD LT performance on scrolling up/down left/right moves as a snails pace.
PC Specs are: Intel Xeon W3505 @ 2.53Hz, 3Gb ram, Windows 7 Pro 32-bit, nVidia Quadro FX 580
Currently about to suggest upgrading the video card to a Nvideo Quadro 2000 1Gb Video card. Would this solve the issue that my client is having the the slowness when scrolling when a PDF underlay is used.

Is there anyway to be able to edit a PDF document while the drawing it's referenced in is open?I would have thought that a PDF underlay would have worked in the same manner as an external reference does.
We use crystal reports to create reports from the drawing, export to PDF and insert back into the drawing.Then when items are released for ordering and received the PDF is stamped as such and the underlay reflects that progress in the drawing.
But if a user has the drawing open the PDF is locked for editing.

I am having trouble getting a DXF underlay to plot clearly and boldly. I insert the ref to the dxf, then, in paperspace, create viewport, etc. I plot all files to pdf (seperate install) for record purposes. When plotting this file, the dxf is very faint--even though the preview is very bold and dark.

I can't figure out if underlays are part of a layer/connected to a specific layer or another thing altogether.

I use the VideoStudio Pro X4 to edit my videos.
This time I have some problems with the quality of my finished projects. I have tried to burn my project as both DVD and AVCHD. On DVD the quality was really poor with grainy picture.
The AVCHD disc was much better but there was lots of "strobe" in the movie. Especially where I have added transitions and text fields.
My raw video-files is HD video (MTS-files). I also use the proxy tools to make the editing go smoother. I think my computer should handle this without the Roxy, but it doesn't.
I use this settings for my project: Settings --> Project Properties:
Edit File Format: MPEG
PAL (25 fps)
MPEG files
24 bits, 720 x 576, 25 fps
Lower Field First
(DVD-PAL), 16:9

How do I accurately set the scale on a raster underlay based on 2 (or more) points where I know the distance between them?
In fact I would like to do this on 2 axes separately so that it stretches.
I am used to georeferenceing like this and getting raster underlays the right shape for the coordinate system I am using. How I can do this in AutoCAD, which used a very simple coordinate system.

I have been trying Video Studio a few times in the past. The first version I ever tried must have been Ulead Video Studio 7 or 8. I always liked the process oriented GUI and the goodies that are made so easy compared to other video editing software. I remember version 8 and next to be very unstable though, which is why I kept working with other software like Pinnacle. Each time there was a new version though I tried it and I have seen stability improving with every version. I would like to work with Video Studio a lot, however I have serious problems with output quality.
Since a few years I am filming HD video, AVCHD standard (1080i50) with a Panasonic HDC-SD5 and recently HDC-SD900. The last one, a new camera, offers incredible detail and quality. Of course I want to see the same quality in my end product, the output of the video editing software. Here is where I have a big problem.
1. When I save output as AVCHD an use smart rendering there are problems with the transition between two clips. There are blocks all over the place. I have tested this with X2, X3 and X4. I remember in X2 there seemed to be some frames in the wrong order at the end of each clip. In X3 there were blocks. In X4, which I am testing now, sometimes output is good, sometimes there are blocks worse than I ever saw in X3.
2. When I save as AVCHD, Bluray, H.264, ... no matter what format in 1080i without smart rendering there is a big quality loss. It is really visible, especially on the pc screen. I have tried many settings: bluray 2-pass encoding at 30.000bps, AVCHD and H.264 at 18.000bps. It seems to be impossible to get good quality out.
No matter what I did, I cannot even approach the input quality with Video Studio. And let's face it, it all comes down to the output!
I have tried encoding with some other free tools such as Handbrake and Staxrip. Of course these are not video editors, but at least I could compare the output quality.

I have read a lot of comments about the quality of output for Fujifilm X raw files, and how poor it is. When compared with Canon raw file processing I agree that the standards for X trans raw files are significantly under par. I would like to know if adobe are redeveloping their support of fujifilm support for these formats? I'm not looking to snipe at adobe. Just want some honest answers so I can make some decisions as I'm now an exclusively X user.

I am using VS Pro X2. There is a problem with batch conversion. When I export the videos individually using "share", I get a good quality output, but when I export the same video using "batch convert", the quality degrades, for example the title gets blurry. I am using the exact same output setting in both situations:
MPEG-4 Files
24 bits, 640 x 480, 30 fps
Frame-based
MPEG-4 SP Video: 2000 Kbps
44100 Hz, 16 Bit, Stereo
MPEG AAC Audio: 128 Kbps

I recently purchased Photoshop and Premiere Elements 12.
I want to create a professional slide show for Maximum Quality output for an HD monitor for an upcoming trade show.
It seems to me based on what I could find on the Adobe website and tutorials that creating my slideshow in Photoshop Elements 12 slideshow maker has limited quality output. You cannot, for example, output to 1920X1080 or even 1440 X 1080.
This leads me to consider Premiere Elements for a more manual slideshow construction. My idea is to create each individual slide, custom, (in high quality jpeg) with great care in Photoshop Elements with very large (high quality) frame sizes (they say up to 4096 x 4096), I was thinking more like double 1920X1080, ie: 3096X2160. I imagine that this will guarantee covering the entire monitors real estate, guarantee continuity between all slides, and display an over all professional look. (Even though this is much more work than just whipping a bunch of jpegs of various sizes into Photoshop Elements Slideshow creator).
Once I have all of my custom slides in that large size, my idea is I'll import each one and then use Premier Elements to drive the slide show functionality and ultimately the high resolution export file for application.
Am I on the right track here? Is there some standard guildlines and tools in the industry for me to consider before I attempt to create my first professional slide show?

I'm having some difficulty with a new issue that is occuring:I have a 3D model that I'm attempting to render. It has rendered recently with no issues. Now, this morning, I get the following error message:
Unable to create output file - Make sure destination directory is writable and that the disk is not full. Rendering aborted.The drive is only approx. 30% full. I've closed/reopened the file to no avail.Also, I've closed/restarted ACAD.It always seems that AutoCAD acts goofy whenever I have a deadline.

A way to automatically output a point into a table. For instance having a table searching for a specific block reference or point inside a block or external reference and submitting this into a table with x,y coordinates?
I make a lot of civil drawings and sometime i need to list up relevant coordinates. In stead of manually plotting these in a table i would like to list them up automatically.

When I run the DI command and specify two points, it gives all the details including the distance between the points in the commandline.
Is there any way (may be using cui or lisp) so that the same result appears in form of a popup window??

Is there a better an easier way to change the order of input/output parameters in the subassembly that i've created in SAC 2013 than the one where you have to go into a XML-file in the PKT archive file?
I've created my subassembly and I want to control the order of parameters to have a flow similar to the actual workflow.

Ok so basically for AutoCAD I like to copy and paste my text in from a word program or just browser and I get random results.
These files are both from SolidWorks yet one shows as perfect and the other as rubbish. Is there any reason for this and is there any way to make the rubbish one come out as nice?
Come to think about it I may have exported the one as a dxf (the poor one) and the good one as a dwg. Is this the difference? But both are dwg now so I don't see why it should remain poor quality.

I'm currently running Smoke 2011 on a Mac Pro and we are feeding a Professional Grade 58" Panasonic Plasma equipped with HDMI and Component connections. We are unfortunately limited to using only the HDMI connection because Smoke 2011 doesn't support component out. Using the HDMI connection means we're limited to a 60Hz refresh rate which, generates flickering cross fades, and strobing with fast moving video. The component connections allow us to utilize a 100Hz refresh rate which eliminates these issues. After a little research, I have learned that Panasonic does not make a professional grade plasma monitor that supports higher than 60Hz through HDMI.

after working for a while with Max 2013, i have noticed that texture display in viewport is a very poor quality compared to Max 2012, and it is same with display of environment map in viewport.
I have found some ways to manually set texture quality in viewport here, but i would like to know if there is any way to make Max 2013 viewport texture display EXACTLY IDENTICAL to way it was in Max 2012.
For example, if i manually change nitrous texture resolution, then resolution improves, but if i display some environment bitmap in viewport, i get extreme lag when minimizing/maximizing viewports. About 2-10 seconds to minimize/maximize viewport lag whenever there is an environment map displayed in any of the viewports. As soon as i disable display of environment in viewport, viewport minimize/maximize task is instant again.
In Max 2012, when i display enviro map in viewport, i have absolutely no delay in minimizing or maximizing what so ever.
So i would like to know how i can make Max 2013 display same quality of textures as Max 2012, and make it perform same way as in Max 2012 (no lag when switching viewports).From what i understand, viewports in 2013 should be optimized, therefore actually faster, not slower.

I want to send a consultant our dwg file as a dwf so they can use it as an underlay. I cannot find any clear info in forums or on web to create it from model space (so 1:1 scale) for them to attach it in their model space. AND when I did try it (just not sure it is the best way), I insert in (as DWF underlay) and it comes in with all white lines & the line weights of everything are way too thick.

I'm using AutoCAD LT 2013. When attempting to attach a PDF as an underlay, I go to the Insert tab, choose "Attach" from the Reference panel, pick the PDF I want, and then...nothing. No dialog boxes come up, I get no error messages, it just doesn't do anything at all. I just upgraded my RAM and I know the rest of my specs are up to par, and I did get this feature to work once, but now it doesn't do anything.
