Printing artefacts

[Mike Hatch]

Have noticed that there are differences between an on screen view and a printed copy.

 

On screen -

 

Printed -

 

Four tapped holes are showing ?.

 

There are similar tapped holes in the side plates that don't show as artefacts, dimensionally they are all the same in the same thickness material.

Can you upload the file or send it to support for them to review it?

File uploaded here, the effect is related to the viewed angle and zoom, the file attached as it is shows the artifacts when printed, if the view is rotated or zoomed the artifacts change in severity. They correspond the tapped holes in the "Front plate" corresponding to the "Side plate" names in the scene tree. Running IC2019 SP1.

Bug filed, incident # 111563.

 

A work-around would be to use the Windows Snipping Tool to take a image screenshot then print that.

I got a great tip by a user a while ago on a splendid "snippet tool" called Green Shot. I just have to share it, since I use it all the time!

It is with zoom in function and view angle/position

 

scroll zoom

check position

space navigator zoom

F8 and dolly in

T.F.L. view scroll zoom

 

Print preview images except check position

I always use a screen shot to print.

 

Joseph what do you mean by "T.F.L. view scroll zoom" since that one doesn't appear to have any artifacts?

If you set the view in T.F.L and use scroll zoom to magnify, it doesn't have artifacts.

 

By the way using scroll zoom/zoom itself changes the field of view angle from the camera settings>perspective>field of view angle. If you want to maintain the same field of view angle from camera, use dolly in. I always use this method if I want to mimic the real world camera effect from focal length of 35mm camera.

 

For guidance 24mm~84>, 28mm~75>, 35mm~63>, 50mm~47>, 85mm~28.5>, 100mm~24.5> 135mm~18>, 200m~12.5>. These settings follows the compression on longer focal lengths and distortion on the wider angles look at point. KeyShot follows this principle.

 

I usually use the prtscn function and paste to paint.

We had seen a similar problem in previous versions, usually only on parts with very thin sections with the underlying part bleeding through. In this instance however the tapped hole artefacts prompting this post have wall thickness of over 3mm.

 

Here the thinnest label (right most) has lines

 

This is the print preview.

What I have experience with thin materials to overcome bleeding is to RMB>Realistic>Dynamic mode>lower the value of Target Frame Setting or just untick Dynamic mode altogether. This also prevents threads from appearing through assemblies like artefacts.

 

If thin materials still bleed with the above settings, you may have to increase the part model rendering by increasing the Surface smoothness past the set 30 to 42>48 as facets don't align from part to part. This often happens with cylindrical shapes.

 

Hope this works on your end. regards.
