From a fresh start in Creo, if I follow the procedure mentioned in my previous post it does not work, ie: the hidden lines are still on top of solid lines, call-outs, annotations etc. It seems as though something very funny is going on here.
#Autocad printing to pdf blacks look grey pdf#
You get a vectorized graphic while exporting to pdf and for some reason the pen 1 is always written first to the pdf before pen 3, Strange is that pen 1 is written after pen 4. Guess the only choice for you is to use black hidden lines as well. But about the gray hidden lines always being above black geometry lines I don't really know. Well this simply means that you can change the length of the dashes. if you put pattern command in your *.pnt file then this command has no effect this one can be of a value 1 or more for shorter dashes in hidden lines didn't quite figure out what does this one do but I have it set to yes to use all 8 pens I have this one set to no, couldn't see any difference in the change of this option
I've found few options for config.pro related to printing: This table.pnt does red dimension lines etc. Notice that i switched pen 2 and pen 4 notes. Pen 4 color 1.0 0.0 0.0 thickness 0.025 cm letter_color ! pen 7 for dark gray (toggled sections, grayed dimensions and texts, dimmed tangent edges) ! pen 6 for cyan (sketcher section entities) ! pen 5 for green (sheet metal color entities) ! pen 4 for red (dimension lines, leaders, axes and centerlines, balloons, x-hatching) ! pen 1 for white (visible geometry, curve, quilts) Please be sure to include what version of the PTC product you are using so another community member knowledgeable about your version may be able to assist.

This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team. Thread could not help me, as it uses File -> Print method. So, please, don't say "Sylvain, use method 1". How do I modify the appearance of the drawings processed with the "SaveAs PDF" command ?įor technical reasons, I need to use the method number 2. In other forums where this problem of hidden lines style is described, people confuse the two ways to get the PDF and say : modify the "plot_linestyle_scale" to get your result.Īs I said, my question is : How do I get a good display of the hidden lines on PDF files with the SaveAs PDF command ? If you modify the value of "plot_linestyle_scale", there is NO modification. The black solid lines are also thinner than with method 1. Now the hidden lines appear with smaller elements.Ģ) Click on the SaveAs PDF button in the toolbar :Īs you can see, the dashed hidden lines have very long elements (they seem to be solid) and, if you look carefully, they appear IN FRONT of the black solid lines, in the same way as already described in the thread. Here is what happens when I change the value from 3 (previous picture) to 1 (next picture). If you modify the plot_linestyle_scale parameter, the size of the hidden line changes. Here is what I obtain with my "Adobe PDF" program :Īs you can see, the dashed hidden lines are well displayed and are BEHIND the black solid lines that describe the shape of the object. Select "MS Printer Manager", then OK and select your "PDF printer" in the "Name" field. How do I get a good display of the hidden lines on PDF files with the SaveAs PDF command ?įirst of all there are two ways to get a PDF file from a detailed drawing :ġ) File -> Print. I write because I have been spending the last two years to solve a problem that is easy do describe :
