Line Thickesses of Wireframe/No Hidden Entities

Is anybody aware of settings to adjust Wireframe or No Hidden Line
thicknesses when viewing a 3D model?

I have an automated task within Pro/E that is taking JPEG snapshots of a
Wireframe model within a macro routine. The JPEGS are moved to a website
and the images subsequently resized to fit the webpage. The resolution of
these images are reduced and the wireframe lines become hard to see.

Adjusting the background colors and line colors helps a little but is not as
effective as I would like.

Any ideas? I'd really like to avoid creating these images from within a
drawing if at all possible.

Thanks in advance,

Keith

In photoshop when you scale use antialiasing. That will smooth out the lines and keep them visible. Pixel per pixel scaling, will do what you are experiencing.

I think most graphics programs have some antialiasing when scaling, you just need to find out how to do it.

Thanks for all of your responses. You guys continue to amaze me with your
knowledge.

Nathan had the most direct solution for what I was looking.when I customized
the size of the JPEG, I was able to generate the view with a smaller image
size (and thicker lines in the images when moved over to our website)

The resulting images will be used on our IDF-to-3D product. When a user
uploads a STEP file of an electrical component (to include on a 3D PCB), the
user is asked to select the "top" view in order to help orient a coordinate
system that will ultimately be used for placement of that uploaded STEP file
on the user's PCB. If curious, our website is
www.simplifiedsolutionsinc.com The STEP upload link within the IDF-to-3D
product will be where the images are utilized.

Thanks again,

Keith
