Mapping vector artwork on 3D object is not sharp - looks low res?

I've created a 3D cylinder and I'm mapping some vector artwork on it, but it looks super grainy/low res. Even when I render it at 600dpi it looks the same. It's outlined text, it should be super sharp. Am I missing something? See pic.

Not in the map art diaglog box. This is where I have it perfectly laid out:

 

Then if I select the new symbol, this is what happens and I have to resize/rejig it and it's impossible to get it perfect


Figured it out! I've edited the symbol from the symbol palette and voila, replaced 🙂

Can you try the same with the Classic 3D Effect?

A gradient could be added later.

Just tried that and the graphic doesn't show up when I try to map it. It just bounces around in the mapping window.

Ok, stuck again! I've managed to get the graphic mapped on perfectly but now I need to make 2 more with different labels. When I try to replace the mapped graphic it makes me resize and re-adjust it. Is there a way to simply replace that symbol on the 3D object and have it be the exact same size/placement?


So it doesn't work when you just edit the symbol?
