Question

Model annotation dimension lines not printing solid

I'm having an issue with the model annotation dimensions lines not printing solid. It doesn't happen with the added dimensions, it's specific to the model annotations (as seen in the screenshots - bottom dimension is model annotation, dimension directly above is added). The lines are shown as solid in CREO but when printing to PDF, it prints with gaps in the line. Any ideas as to what's happening?

Hi,

what software/command do you use to create PDF ?

Hi,

when I print a drawing in Creo 7.0.2.0 I click File > Save As, change file type to .pdf, enter file name. I can't see Export command.

Please upload your Creo data (put them into single zip file and upload this zip file). This enable me to test your problem on my PC.

I much prefer using a PDF printer instead of the file - save as option. There are several availble online for free or if you already own Acrobat standard or other PDF generation software, you can use the print command and select the print as your PDF program. 

I believe it gives better output...or at least that is in my imagination!
