Problem

This article shows how to use the Convert to High Quality Views task in SOLIDWORKS Task Scheduler. For more information on other Task Scheduler Tasks, check out this article: Automating Tasks After Hours with SOLIDWORKS Task Scheduler – Hawk Ridge Systems

For drawing views with edges, there are two different quality types that users can choose from in the Display State section: Draft and High Quality.

• Draft Quality: Minimum information is loaded into memory, and it may have missing edges with degraded printing quality
• High Quality: All model information is loaded into memory

Solution

Below are the steps listed according to the following image.

1. Open up the Convert to High Quality Views task in the SOLIDWORKS Task Scheduler
2. Set a custom Task Title if needed.
3. Add the file or folder that contains the documents that need to be converted. Either files or Folders can be specified, and both cannot be used at the same time. If adding individual files from different folders, use the Add File button and browse to the file. If there are folders where all files within need to be updated, use the Add Folder button to browse to the folder and use the "include subfolders" option as needed.
4. Running mode can be set to Once, Daily, Weekly, or Monthly. If the Start time and Start date are set in the past, before clicking "Finish", the task will start immediately.
5. Click Advanced to change the working folder, time-out values, and other options
6. Click Finish to set the task in motion after all requirements have been set up.
7. SOLIDWORKS will launch itself, perform the actions according to the task, and close itself when the scheduled time is reached.
