Hi,
I have submitted a paper to the journal "systems research and behavioural science" which includes system dynamics archetypes drawn with vensim ple. I am having issues with the quality of the image which is apparently not readable. One of the reviewers has already pointed this out twice. The way I am doing this is to copy and paste the model in a ppt and then save it in tif format. However, the quality is too low to allow the reviewer to see the image well. Can anyone help on this technicality?
Thank you in advance
Best regards
Bianca
The problem with powerpoint is that it creates low resolution tifs or jpgs. Therefore, one way to produce tifs or jpgs with enough quality is to increase the size of the file. This procedure works for me: 1) In powerpoint, change the page layout to the maximum size possible using the "personalized" option (for example, 120 x 80 centimeters); 2) copy and paste the Vensim diagram; 3) export to tif. When you insert the tif in your document and resize to fit the available space, the image will have the required quality.
Another possibility could be to print your model in a Tiff file directly from Vensim. You can install virtual printers such as ImagePrinter (https://code-industry.net/print-to-jpg/) or Pdfforge (https://www.pdfforge.org/pdfcreator) which allows you to print your Vensim model in formats such as Tiff, bmp or PDF.
probably you could make a screenshot of your vensim an copy as a picture.

print it in a pdf file. then open it in adobe reader. open edit tab then select " take a snap shop" button. select an area, this option provide a high-quality image for you. you can save it as .png or .tiff in PowerPoint
From the Vensim -> Select All -->Copy. Goto Paint -> Paste save it as Picture
