High Precision

PARAMETER

HP

Purpose

This parameter defines whether High Precision mode is used for DWF and PDF drawings.

For DWF files, normal precision mode the coordinates of the drawing extend from 0,0 to 32000,32000. In high precision mode the coordinates  extend from 0,0 to 2000000,2000000. Medium precision is treated as High precision for DWF files.

For PDF files, precision defines the number of places used to the right of the decimal point. Low precision is none, medium is one and high is two. Since each unit in a PDF file is 1/72 of an inch (one "point"), medium precision is accurate to 1/720th of an inch and high precision to 1/7200 of an inch.

Notes

High Precision should be used sparingly for DWF files. Normal precision is usually more than adequate for display purposes and High Precision results in much larger drawings. However, in some applications where there is a need to see small details on very large, complex drawings, then High Precision should be used.

On the other hand, low precision should be used sparingly for PDF files. Accuracy to 1/72 of an inch is usually not sufficient for PDF files.
