Solidworks Drawing

2D plans Layout
1

Hello

In a drawing, my baseplane title block contains an image of a logo.

When printed in PDF, this image is partially hidden and truncated by, apparently, the outer outline of an adjacent view (blue frame in view selection).

The delineation or surface of the view (blue frame) covers the title block and logo, but only hides the image from printing only, not from the screen.

Does anyone have a solution to resize the outline of the view without changing the scale and without moving the view (Very busy layout)?

Trimming does not help.

Or maybe another solution, on the front or back image as on other software, or on the background plan

Thank you in advance for your help and answers.

Kind regards

Hello

The outline of a view does not hide the background images in SW. Fortunately, by the way.

Otherwise many of my MEPs would not be usable.

I would rather lean towards a problem of pdf printing.

How do you export in pdf?

Hello, a solution that can work: you have to import an OLE object Insert / Object / Photshop Now I'm adding my logo as a layer, once returned to SW, a black frame appears around the logo, which is not the case as a sketch image.

@ PL. Indeed, Adobe tools are well integrated into SW. However, not everyone has photoshop on their computer.

For printing I use:

> Save As

 Type

  > Adobe Portable Document Format (*.pdf)

   > Export Options

   All is coher, except:

 > Print the header..

and

 > Include undefined layers for printing

DPI geometry at 200

PPP OLE to 200

Thank you for your help

Without having Photoshop, try to see for other resolution of the logo or simply by reducing it a little.

But even with a good resolution if one of the views (the outline of the view on the drawing) overflows on the image it will be truncated into a pdf recording. The trick is to print with the adobe pdf printer and not save in pdf, and the image is not truncated.

Can you attach a MEP file and a pdf printout?

To create PDFs, I usually use PDFCreator:

http://download.pdfforge.org/download/pdfcreator/1.7.3/PDFCreator-1_7_3_setup.exe?file=AMIfv97kLO8VoYDocnkmGfZ6Ob00JYesPQ51EAvgTbKXr0r8I5PnbSLpICS5p8m8VIP1EEkRfg0Crm4pWqkE3-JjamrrE8nI-xg5kR1phY8TiXWLDdJJbeLZRxC9uXZxi-qv46n9r-ekW2F4QQn3b4nh9WBsvAzbA7EP15qiEefN40wWr8w4pK4

To be sure, is this type of problem really true? See image

It can also come from your "save as .pdf", as @remrem pointed out.

 

From time to time, it does it to me on basic drawing, some views are tromquated or missing.

You may be able to get around the problem by printing, choosing pdfcreator as your printer and following the procedure

Hello everyone, thank you for your answers.

I have exately the case that Gerald has jointed.

Apparently no one has a solution.

I found a solution that was a bit far-fetched.

I saved my view, with the same orientation but I put it flush with the edge of the graphic space, and thus the delimitation of my view is reduced to MEP.

I haven't found anything better

 

Printing in Adobe printers is not as good as saving in PDF and the thickness of lines or shaded images is not as good and very greedy in bytes.

If Gérald has a solution to his attachment, I'm all for it.

Thank you again to all

Hello

Switching the view to high quality diminishes the frame a bit.

Kind regards
