We are new to Creo and have some drawings we would like to print or in a pdf file. How do I do this?

Thank you!

    There are several ways but I use the file>save-as>export dialog. I save the configuration file once I set it to what I want, and I also have a local (in the working folder) table.pnt file to customize my pen options.

    How do you shift the margins? I have excess margin at the top and left side with no margin on the right and bottom.

    We have .pcf's and a pen table set up already from WF4.0. We're jumping straight to Creo 2.0 and can't print correctly anymore using our custom printer types for each file size or the save as method. The save as method is closest to printing correctly, except for the margin issues.

    Ryan, welcome to the forum.

    I think a few things have changed in Creo that make the printing process different than what was set for your previous version. I would suggest you create a support case so that PTC is aware that things are different, and help you find a way back to what you had. This is part of the reason we pay maintenance, and a support technician can be on the phone with you while you troubleshoot the issue.

    However, maybe someone here has already run into this very same issue. We often have a race to see who will solve the problem 1st. I don't know what the score is at this point so both avenues are worth pursuing.

    If you want to export massively your files without having to load them in Creo, you can convert your Creo drawings to pdf with CrossManager : http://www.datakit.com/en/cross_manager.php
