Question

Drawing quality in creo view 2.0 not good

Dear Experts,

I need your help to fix this burning issue

Most of the drawings look good when we open it from Creo2.0 parametric, even the quality of export to PDF from parametric looks good,

However when I open the same drawing in creo view 2.0 it looks horrible despite the fact that I had set an environment variable PVIEW_PRINT_MINIMUM_LINE_WIDTH with value as 0.2

Can any one help me out on this

Thanks in advance,

Regards,

Athmanand

Hi,

if you have active Global Support (i.e. you pay maintenance) then contact PTC Support.

Are you using a CAD Worker to do your publishing, Publishing through Creo 2.0 with the Creo View Adapter, or doing a File, Save As, .PVZ from Creo Parametric?

Hi,

We do it using the CAD Worker

Do we have settings on CAD worker ?

Thanks,

Athmanand

Here is what I found when comparing pdf's from native creo and creo view.     Creo displays Vector, and Creo View ( through our cad worker ) displays Raster.

IMO, this is a backwards step from PTC, since previously Product View was capable of producing Vector displays.  No matter what settings I modify, we'll never be able to produce as accurate file from creo view when compared to Creo.   With a large number of customer manuals, this is not acceptable.  Therefore we spend more time and licenses using Creo.

Unfortunately, we have already upgraded to creo view 3.0 and we have the same status...

Creo displays Vector, and Creo View ( through our cad worker ) displays Raster.

Gerry,

I have two images below comparing View to Parametric(zoomed out and zoomed in) from a drawing in our system.  From my perspective, I would call the quality good but that is just my opinion.  The picture is from CV3 Client and worker at CV3 adapters with Creo Parametric 2. Is the bottom left picture your definition of not good?

All,

We print PDF's to attach to our Formal Documents right before submitting for review. This is the only time a PDF is created and that is done thru a toolkit we built in  Creo. Eventually we are moving it into Windchill and have it do it on a Lifecycle change.

Other than that, we publish viewables upon checking of the Creo file into Windchill so we can you those in Creo View for redlines and design reviews in Conference rooms or at the Checkers desk.

Another good thing with publishing Creo View is the drawing compare functionality that our checkers love. If you haven't seen that, let me know and I can show you. Very simple to do.

I found PTC support article CS219661.

Set environment variable PVIEW_PRINTING_REGION_DISABLE = 1

My users were experiencing exactly the symptoms as described in the article.  They noticed the difference in PDF generation from Creo View immediately after implementing the solution.  It is a user environment variable, so it can be added to a startup script, or added manually without the need for admin rights.
