Improve tDPR resolution

Is it possible to improve tDPR resolution? Now it is too low for our tiles(1x1km) at M1:500 and M1:250 as lot of small details are lost or blurred. Mainly we need thinner lines and improve looks of cells as some cells ar lost. Changing pentable or line weight maps in printer doesn’t seem to impact line weight. tDPR is vector based but thereis no benefit then if the resolution is fixed.

 

See examples:

  • Hello Oto,

    We found a solution that will enable to improve the quality of the tDPR published display.

    We can increase the resolution by editing manually a parameter in the dpr.pltcfg printer driver configuration file. The converter is using the paper=MAX and we can edit the dpr.pltcfg file located by default under C:\Bentley\GeoWebPublisher\Engine\Pub\pltcfg”.  Search for the “MAX” string and increase the values in the Size tag, instead of 44,44 you can increase it.

    I did a test with your data and it looks considerable better, the result seen below uses 200,200

    You can download the test case from the following location

  • Hi,

    I have huge amounts of files with different extents ranging from 60*60(m) to 600*600(m).
    Right now, I have to adjust "Max" paper size for each file to achieve the same line style and weight in tDPR conversion.
    It is impossible to make justment to millions of files manually, and it needs to be done in batch.
    So is there a way to just use one single "dpr.pltcfg" and make all the files have the same line style and weight after publishing.

    As I understand, each file is maximized to paper size before printing, that why line style and weight is scaled correspondingly.
    Do you think there is a way to make all the files to have the same scale(do not maximize to paper size)?

  • tDPR means tiled DPR publishing so it is more suitable for publishing files with similar extents.
    As a workaround you could try to add a startup macro(KeyinA) to your parameters file which would change this resolution on-the-fly depending from file range.
    For example key-in: "print dialog;set printer printer.pltcfg"
  • Hi,
    Two more questions, why the line weight is not consistent after publishing to tDPR, at someplace it is thicker and other place it is thinner?
    Sometimes the dotted and dashline choose to aggregate, is it entirely automatic, is there a switch?
    /Xin
