I have several parts all designed in Aspire that make up a kit. The parts are on several different Aspire files that are ready for cutting. Now I'd like to make a graphic brochure of all these parts so they all show on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper.

I resized all the parts and made a layout in Aspire, then ran a vcarve toolpath for the labels and a profile toolpath for the shapes of the parts. The problem is the shapes are very bitmapped wherever there is a curve in the parts, giving a very blurry image. Is there any way to sharpen these images up so they look presentable?

Thanks

Have you set the Preview Simulation Quality to Best on the Toolpath menu?

if you are saving the image in order to reproduce in another format, try using the snip feature in vista/7 and save as a jpeg, if this is helpful

Try messing with the camera angle/zoom sometimes you can get a view that looks much better.

You can also hit the print screen key on your keyboard, and then paste into a program like MS Paint, crop and save as a jpeg.

I found on the drop down menu where I could set the preview image quality from good-better-best.
