Poor quality Layout pattern fill
-
Hi,
I'm using Layout pattern fill for hatching cross sections within Layout. Whilst this looks fine in Layout, when exporting as pdf the pattern fill linework becomes broken and wiggly, giving a poor quality appearance (see diagonal hatching on top of walls on section cuts in attached file).
I have all quality settings turned on high in SU and LO. I've also tried all permutations of settings in Bluebeam, my pdf viewer.
The problem occurs when viewing on Bluebeam, Acrobat and Mac Preview and prints are also affected. However, when viewed on an iPad the drawings are perfect! It seems as if the quality is there, but there's a viewing problem with pdf output.
Any solutions would be gratefully received as the drawings don't look professional as they are.
Cheers
David

At certain zoom levels it get wiggly for me. at others not. On a MBP, Preview. And it changes if I put in on another monitor. I think you see better results on a Retina display, but few people have those--and good printing is important.
