Exporting 2D print quality images
-
I really wish SU had better options for 2D export, such as being able specify dpi. So I'm wondering if anyone has any insight on how to get consistency in dpi when exporting to 2D raster. I've noticed that the relative dpi seems to be linked to the actual size of the model. I would be fine to export to vector if the vector lines were joined instead of broken up into the little bits that they are...
Honestly I haven't used Layout much, but I need a file that can be opened up in third party program... so do I need to finalize an image in Layout and then export from there to get quality results?
Or is there an exporter plugin that can work around this?

Have you tried changing the setting under Options in the 2D Export window?
Maybe you should try using LayOut. Render as vector or hybrid and export to PDF or as an image. You should be able to get high quality exports in several ways.

I've tried adjusting the options for the various formats but none of them come out looking too good. I've been messing around with Layout export options and the results actually seem worse than if I export directly from SU.
It seems that SU tops out at maybe 200 dpi, but all the lines still appear pixelated. I would really like a 720 dpi image so that it conforms with my other graphic settings.
