Sorry, posted this to Revit Systems earlier today by mistake. We're using Revit Building, but I'm guessing the issue spans across the different Revit platforms.We are running into some issue when trying to import images into Revit. Problem is that Revit seems make the default resolution for the jpeg as 72 dpi, and adjusts the size of the image to whatever in a conversion process to account for the images import resolution. This is a significant and seemingly unnecessary pain. We have a lot of images and scans that we incorporate into our drawings for presentation and otherwise that need to be at a lot higher resolution than 72 dpi. Is there any kind of preference or global control for this that can be adjusted? How are other folks handling this problem. Do folks just save their drawings at or 288 dpi and scale accordingly in Revit? Thanks in advance for your assistance. Eric Just upgraded to Revit 2008

external images form max to be imported to sheets and some text and spreadsheets exported as jpgs. this is for the final presentation, but if you import image into revit you will come out with locked 72dpi no matter how you scale the image.

you're right, thanks. so the problem is when i want to print it to pdf. revit tells pdf-printer rasters are 72dpi which is obviously not good for presentation. so hard copies are now fine, thank you for that, but any thoughts on the pdf problem?

I use Cute PDF where you have a setting to control the DPI.
