Configure the Dassault Systèmes SolidWorks Rendering Module Options

The Dassault Systèmes SolidWorks rendering module options specify which drawings to render and to which format in the destination system.

The All Rendering Profiles page appears and lists the existing profiles grouped by the name of the computer (cluster node) to which they are assigned.
Double-click the rendering profile that you want to configure.
Click options or type values using the descriptions in the following table.
Click Save.
