Learn to manage BIM workflows and create professional Archicad templates with the BIM Manager Program.

Hi!
After years of lurking, I finally registered here because I think I have a useful contribution.
I was required to do a presentation using project drawings and since google slides doesn't accept PDFs, I had to publish the layouts to .jpg or .png. Screenshots are a bad solution, I was tired of having to export pdfs and converting them to .jpg, I wanted a direct publication from archicad to the google drive folder I was using, and being able to update drawings as needed, a clean, direct workflow
Most people's .jpgs turn out fuzzy and low res, but I found out how to publish with good quality. I don't know much else, why it works, what's behind the scenes in archicad, I just know it worked for me.
I created a publishing set with my layouts and just before hitting publish, I zoomed at 100% in the current layout. That's it. The resolution output is determined by the current zoom you have when you hit publish.
I hope this is helpfull to whoever uses .jpgs, I found the solution myself and then searched the forum again for the word "zoom" and found an answer deep in another old thread.
hope it helps!
p.s. sorry for my english, not my first language
