I want to make a macro that instantly ups the image quality. As little
work as it is, I'm tired of going to the document properties to up the
shaded and draft quality resolution. This is probably something that
could be fixed with the copy settings wizard, but when I try to do
that, it says I don't have administrator privileges. I don't really
want to hassle our tech guy, plus I think of this as a learning
opportunity. The line in the API code is

Part.SetUserPreferenceIntegerValue swImageQualityShaded,
swShadedImageQualityCustom

If I change the swShadedImageQualityCustom to a number, the macro still
runs, but there's no discernable change. Any suggestions?

Just increase the setting and make a part, assembly or drawing template
from that file. Then the setting will be perfect every time with no
work.

why not just set it to the desired level in your template?

Until you open an assembly with the part in it and the option turned on
that changes the setting in all the individual parts, and where the
assembly quality is set low.

I'm always wishing for this macro myself.

Here's an example of a macro that allows the user to input resolution
directly. I think it can be modified to save as whatever format you
wish. I hope this helps.
