Saving plot results as a jpeg in SW 2018 Simulation the jpeg images are saving with really low resolution, 224kb.
Is there a way to save plots results at a higher resolution?
I could not find a setting in Simulation options to reset jpeg resolution.
Thanks

I was right clicking on the results folder giving you a selection to save all plots as a jpeg. I thought when you went to "save all plots as JPEG files " it would give you an options tab to size the plot images to a higher resolution. It does not.
Just trying to "save as" (1) plot result at a time I do not see an option to save as a "SVG" file type format?
I do not have Simulation, sorry. A VAR presenter at a user group suggested it as a vectored output format from SWx.
Is there any Options or Advanced button under filetype selection in Save As dialog? Just a suggestion.
There's always screengrab workarounds if you are viewing unsaved results, which will be at the resolution of your display.
I have the same problem. Exporting in higher resolution from a normal model view is possible for all image file formats (jpeg, png, tiff, psd). When I have a simulation result loaded in SW simulation, its nevertheless exporting in screen resolution. Has anyone an idea on how to fix this or a work around for getting high resolution simulation images? Is this a bug?
This is a long-standing peeve. Even if one could set quality of saved images, some times SW Sim does not save exactly what one has set up on the screen (as of some years ago).
I gave up on this back in the days of SXGA monitors, at which point I had enough resolution to save screen shots which I crop in a different program. With a pair of new 4k monitors I now need to reduce the SW window size before making screen caps, or my reports balloon to huge file sizes.
Shawn,
You are right: Currently, you have to use a large resolution monitor to save a result plot with high resolution - the saved image has the resolution of the graphic pane of SOLIDWORKS.
To request the ability to save the result plot as images with different resolutions and ability to set up the output image size, please search for SPR 909861 in the SOLIDWORKS Knowledge Base (KB) and select 'notify me'.
Try using SVG format instead of JPG? JPG is inherently lossy. SVG is vectored (scalable vector graphics that is).
