Rendering
 |
The Rendering tab is used for adjusting the rendering quality of a document. Please be aware that higher rendering quality requires more system resources such as CPU and memory usage and may slow down your PC.
To control the quality of the document rendering on the screen use the Screen combobox.
To control the quality of the document rendering when printing and exporting to an image/pdf use the Print/Export combobox.
The three rendering modes are available:
- Draft - best speed mode for slow systems. Some objects will be drawn quite rough in this mode, especially if you zoom a document in for more than 100 percent.
- Normal -optimal rendering quality and speed settings.
- High - maximum rendering quality, low speed. Most powerful algorithm will be used to process graphics. It is recommended to use for power systems.
Note: High screen rendering quality is equal to Normal print/export rendering quality. That why you may use High screen rendering quality to preview the final print.
