[ORD 2022 R1] Cross Sections Sheets Print Rasterized - Why?

I notice that if I add ORD Cross Section sheet models to a Sheet Index and/or a Print Organizer pset that they default to Rasterized.  Plan or Plan-Profile, etc.  default to non-rasterized (Rasterized box NOT checked).  Rasterized plots turn out a little fuzzy or blurry and lead to larger pdfs and longer processing time.  Is there a reason that XS sheets need to print rasterized?  I turned off Rasterized as a test, but my grid line annotation all but disappeared.  All other linework/text prints very crisp as desired with Rasterized turned off.

  • If any of the references or the or model being printed has a display style such as "Illustration" or "Illustration:Ignor Lighting" i.e., a rendering type the print will default to "Rasterized" otherwise the print would not have the rendering shown in the model(s) being plotted.  If plotting from sheet models there is no option to set a display style on the model, but the reference could have a presentation Display Style set to a "rendered" mode, this would require "Rasterized' to plot. Additionally, ORD sections "Drawing Models" could have a display style set to something other than wireframe, such as the "Cut Display Style" picking up a rendering type display which would require "Rasterized' to plot.

  • Thanks, Mike.  Yours is the best explanation I have received thus far.
