Anyone using Save As PDF for drawings in SW 2026?

Ever since upgrading, all my drawing views automatically save as an image and come out blocky - the reason I like using Save As PDF as our logo is an image and it comes out nicely.

I can use Print PDF but the logo comes out all blury.

Any ideas?

EDIT:
Deleting registry "Drawings" in Solidworks fixed the problem somehow, not sure what settings it was because I have all mine on default anyway..

I dunno what I'm doing wrong but for the life of me I cant get DXFs to export with bend lines.

I've tried making sure the box is ticked, unhiding all sketches, having bend lines turned on...

Is anyone else having issues with 2026 SP 3?

For most of my life I've been using 24" 1080p, few years ago I went to 27" 1440p.

Is 32" 4k worth going to for predominantly solidworks use?

Ever since installing 2026, when inserting views into drawings sometimes the components will automatically hide - I will need to right click on the view, go into properties and unhide everything.

Anyone having this issue?

I have a certified GPU system etc so can't be that (RTX 4000 Pro Blackwell)

Does anyone know how to fix the below drawing bug? Its been around for a while now and the only way I can fix it is by ending the task which will still allow me to save the document.

Drawing cant be re-built

There is no active command going on

Just upgraded to Solidworks 2026 and sketch pictures are very buggy, anyone have a fix?

Trying to find out, on their website it still contains it but on their instagram it says it has been removed.

Has anyone ordered orange flavour lately?

Due to the budget changes, Im looking at changing my position to rely more on dividend payouts for retirement.

What are the chances that when more people go this route, they will tax dividends at 30% minimum?

Part of the budget I dont quite get is that stock sales as a separate income and will be taxed at 30%.

Is there a reason why it isn't taxed at your tax bracket instead?

Given the new 30% minimum tax on CGT, is it better to invest my money into superannuation rather than shares, assuming that I would be withdrawing the gains at roughly the same time for retirement?

Interested to hear everyone's take on it.

Hi all - we just upgraded to 2026 and now sketch picture transparency is no longer working - is anyone else having these issues?
