Advanced Quality Settings

When you choose Custom in the Quality section of the Render pop-up menu (or in the
View > Quality menu), the Advanced Quality Options dialog appears.

The Advanced Quality Options dialog provides additional controls to fine-tune rendering
performance and quality. It contains the following options:

Quality:

Sets rendering quality. These options are identical to the Quality settings in the

Render pop-up menu.

For more information on the Render popup menu, see

Canvas View Options

.

Choose one of four settings from this pop-up menu. Each setting activates different
options in the dialog.

Draft: None of the quality options are selected, and Text Quality is set to Low. This

option allows optimal project interactivity.

Normal: “Shape antialiasing” is selected, and Text Quality is set to Medium. This option

allows project interactivity that is slower than Draft, but much faster than Best.

Best: “High quality resampling,” “Shape antialiasing,” and “Antialias 3D intersections”

are selected. Text render quality is set to High. This option slows down project
interactivity.

Custom: No options are selected until you select individual quality settings in the

Advanced Quality Options dialog.

High Quality Resampling:

Turns on high-quality resampling (increasing or reducing the

number of pixels in an image).

Text Quality:

Sets text render quality to Low, Medium, or High. When High is selected,

project interactivity may slow.

Shape antialiasing:

Renders shapes at a higher resolution, then scales objects back to

regular resolution to ensure smooth edges.

Antialias 3D intersections:

Renders objects intersecting in 3D space at a higher resolution,

then scales objects back to regular resolution to ensure smooth edges.
