sorry, not a graphics guy, I forgot about DPI! What I was mostly doing is setting lineweight to 4, export at 6000, resize to 2200, but at 96 DPI! I just created an image, resized to 2200, but at 300 dpi, and it printed much nicer!

so to print on 8x11 paper, what width (at 300 dpi) should I resize these to?

Sorry for not understanding sooner Dave! I feel pretty dumb, after all these years, not increasing the dpi for printing the shop drawings!

you're a good guy Dave and have helped me a lot. thanks for trying any way.

Thanks Dave but I don't want to learn another program my brain is just about full, and I don't know what vector and hybrid mean. I'll just make do, the printed images are a lot better then they used to be.

no, that's what I'm asking is how would yu set up these images for printing?

but I've always done that, esp with the 3d images, to get rid of the jaggies?

so I should resize them to get a clearer print? I don't understand this graphics stuff very well.

yeah on screen I can't hardly see what the heck it is I'm exporting! I export at 6000 pix wide, and print those images without resizing. I can see lines and details better this way but nowhere near the definition I see on the monitor. It's always been like this.

the 3d views I make look better on 3 even 4, and the plan and elevation views and similar I'm doing higher weights.

these are pretty simple images I'm making too. I print these on a printer 8x11 set at normal, I use these mostly to use in the shop.

So now I'm setting line weights to 5, even six and getting better printed images.

are .png images the best for printing?

OK maybe I wasn't signed in on my laptop. If I sign in to the laptop before I leave home, can I use it offline at the jobsite?

So what's the deal with this? I'm at a customers house yesterday, I go to open SUp, and I can't because I'm offline? How do I manage this? Use my phone as a wifi hotspot?

I don't understand, not being able to use my SUp. Is there another way, a workaround? Maybe have a free version installed, or a viewer?

OK, Saving it worked Rich, many thanks for that!

So I have these two SUp files in a folder. Why can't I see the one's thumbnail? I've noticed this before with other files. Just curious.

So this is my latest San Diego design build project, building one of my unique 'draped' roof designs.

I've been saying this for 23 years now, SUp is my Best tool!

So folks I set up this Elevation view by increasing line weights to 4 and exporting 6000 pix wide, text set to Bold,

but when I print this on Auto, it's a bit too washed out, so how do I improve an image like this
when printed? Increase the contrast in an Editor, or a Printer setting??

can I sign in or something next time it happens?

what a hassle SUp is these days ..

but when would I ever be online with SUp? This was on my laptop. Is that why? I have used the lap in the last 28 days.

I was on a job site, trying to open a SUp model, and couldn't, a mssg said something about being offline? What's up with that?

Where can I go to get some black pine or similar SUp models?

I just got what I thought was one from turbosquid but can't find any actual .skp file in the download.

I can't find adjustment for Contrast on this laptop, just Brightness? This is what I have

yeah very happy with 2022, amazed at the nice images I'm getting for one.

because I've been reading about problems with 2023 and I'm happy with 2022.
