    Solidworks Spline tool not a smooth line when exported as 2D drawing

    Hello everyone

    Have another question

    but this one has been around for awhile, I looked on the Solidworks forums and this issue has been posted there a few times but with no resolution

    You make a shape in a sketch with the spline tool
    Then you export that to a drawing, the nice smooth line you had in the sketch is now a bunch of poly lines...lots of lines connected that resemble a smooth line but your smooth line is gone

    I exported the drawing to a PDF. but it seems no matter how high you put your settings in image settings or the pdf save options...you cant get your smooth line back like it was in your sketch

    If you extrude the drawing or sheet metal it...then you seem to keep your smooth lines of the spline tool...but if you just sketch then jump into a drawing with it...smooth lines are gone

    Was wondering if anyone has a work around for this

    I have a file attached as an example...if you zoom in a little on the curves youll see the lines...

    The 2020 Solidworks is much better then the 2018 version I have tried, with 2018 you could see the lines plainly and did not have to zoom in...so things are getting better.


    Thanks

    Michael
