Default DPI setting for PNG export leads to display problems

BPMN & Modeling Discussion & Questions
1

Hello!

We’re using Modeler for process development and documentation purposes.
The models are stored within a content management system, each one as BPMN-XML and PDF for easy viewing.
We get the PDF by virtual printing an exported PNG.

Especially with bigger models the default setting of 72 DPI leads to extreme renderings displaying the PDF because they have sizes of serveral square meters.
By changing the display resolution of the PNG to e. g. 300 DPI (manually, without rerendering) there are no issues.

Or in short: we need a setting of DPI for PNG export or another default value.

Thank you!

That’s a great suggestion. Since the modeler is open source, have you considered writing your own plugin?
