Exporting a 3D Scene from ArcGIS Pro - Very Low Quality Product

marieducharme — Fri, 10 Mar 2017 01:04:48 GMT

I'm new to ArcGIS, and I've created a simple 3D scene and would like to export it to pdf or another format to share. However, all the different outputs I have tried are very low quality, both vector and raster export file types. The exported scene looks blotchy, rasterrized. The labels are barely legible. Has anyone produced a quality output from an ArcGIS Pro Scene? I'm really scratching my head on this one today.

Are you doing it through here? and if so what are your settings?

Hello Dan, Thanks for your reply. I am using share/export. I have tried all the file types, and so far, none are rendering good results, except for the .svg file type, which looks the best, even adequate, but I can't open it with our graphic software (We use Corel Draw).

I've tried different settings in the export to pdf Export Option dialog box. I've exported with different compression types, and at different dpi. From the defaults, changing them ect. increasing the dpi, so far, no good exports apart from the svg file.

Any suggestions? There must be a way to export a scene without it getting vectorized?

I am also having a quality issue. As you can see, inserted text and images look fine but any spatial data itself renders poorly on screen and exports the same way. I have also tried tinkering with the Display settings in the Options dialog to no avail. Any solutions or fixes would be greatly appreciated!

Same here. The output of the layout from a scene is terrible. Seems as though when the features (lines) are a 2d symbol the quality is worse. When they are a 3d symbol the quality is better but the rendering even within Pro is bad.
