We export SKU pro drawing to Layout to create a pdf to print. All the lines are jagged and not straight and clean. We don’t [MDM2024 - Design Layout.pdf](https://forums.sketchup.com/uploads/short-url/elS00ANaPlVLs6CqJA51VgJApIU.pdf) (3.2 MB) know how to fix this is and need help. ---

First thing I would try is rendering the viewport as Hybrid. To what do you have Line Scaling set for the viewport? ---

Go to the Window menu and open the SketchUp Model panel. Select the viewport and change Raster to Hybrid. Line Scale is right above the render options. ![Screenshot - 12_19_2023 , 12_20_03 PM](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/8/e/8ed74f3dd1cc95f3ef37c165a880b0a940fb1540.png) This is a fundamental part of working in LayOut which leads me to think you would benefit from going through the LayOut instruction at [learn.sketchup.com](http://learn.sketchup.com) ---

Hybrid might work better, but if those textures don’t play nice with Hybrid you’ll need to render in Raster - just make sure you set the output resolution to ‘High’ in Document Setup\>Paper: ![Screenshot 2023-12-19 at 21.53.19](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/e/a/ea2a3f2519d5b583a60b73f8dce2c1155a333499.png) You might also want to check the ‘Options’ when you Export (and make sure you export, don’t print), and turn off JPEG compression: ![Screenshot 2023-12-19 at 21.53.35](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/d/6/d6019bc5593eac1839961fd2fe99b3a3114c8fb6.png) Then I would have a look at the line weights in LO and tweak them to look proportionate to your drawing. ---
