The Rendering tab

The Rendering tab is used for adjusting the rendering quality of a document. Please be aware that higher rendering quality requires more system resources such as CPU and memory usage and may slow down your PC.

To switch on the draft rendering mode when creating a document, select Draft rendering checkbox. Some objects will be drawn quite rough in this mode, especially if you zoom a document in for more than 100 percent.

To switch on the improved rendering mode when printing or exporting a document, select Improved rendering checkbox. In this mode image objects will be enlarged using more powerful algorithms to give better final quality.
