After you select Print, and the Print dialog appears, there are PDF options in the bottom left of the dialog.

Hi thanks,
i found the buttons, but the qualitiy of Plot is much less then direct printout of Capture. The printig house says, the embedded graphics aren't correct vectorisized.

Hi,

Printed plots are bitmap-based, not vector-based. The resolution is controlled by your PDF printing settings in macOS through the ColorSync utility where you can create document filters with different resolution settings.

Ok thanks. I just thought the graphics in plot view are technically vectors, that they can in printout, too. On our other planning Software the PDF output is vector.

Maybe a feature request?
