pdf export pen pattern Creo 8.0.5.0

The drawing must be exported as a PDF. We have phanthom and hidden lines in the drawing.

If I set the Pen 3 pattern . it will only accept one Line style.

(pen 3 thickness 0.010 cm; pattern 0.1 0.05 0.025 0.05 cm)

How could different line styles be used? Hidden line and Phanthom line both use Pen 3.

Please assist me in solving this problem.

if the pattern line is removed, hidden line and the Phanthom line looks good.. but I need a different pattern for the hidden line and the phantom.

 

 


Hi,

so it looks like you do not like default patterns assigned by Creo to hidden and phantom lines.

One possible solution = changing phantom component display. Please play attached video and use uploaded data.

Hi,

what happens when you remove pattern 0.1 0.05 0.025 0.05 cm from pen definition.

If I can use the pen 3 thickness 0.010 cm; pattern 0.1 0.05 0.025 0.05 cm

Its shows hidden line also in phanthom line style.

Hi,

once again ... remove pattern 0.1 0.05 0.025 0.05 cm from pen definition.
