Hello,

I would like to export the mesh of my domain as a vectorial image.

With paraview 5.8.1 if I export the mesh as a svg image I get:  
 ![a](https://discourse.paraview.org/uploads/default/original/2X/0/05250adc63c6b1a0e964c9509d6d52976a433dd6.svg)

Upon zooming the image quality gets very poor.

I downloaded an old version of paraview (v3.98) and the svg is vectorial.  
 ![b](https://discourse.paraview.org/uploads/default/original/2X/7/71d6da4226e093858f69239a17bea3d734b16879.svg)

How can I obtain an image quality in version 5.8.1 to the one in 3.98.

Best Regards

This is just not supported anymore for many reasons. Nothing you can do here.
