Hi,

I am having issues working with the pentable when I set the pentable file and all 3 config options, but still, while printing and saving the pdf file, the geometry lines are not as per the pentable, and when I remove the pentable file, geometry lines changes but not as per requirement (that means without pentable file).

Hi,

your pentable works well. Please play uploaded video.

Your problem is in setting the thickness of the pens and also in the fact that you don't know which pen draws which color.

Try setting the config.pro option pdf_use_pentable to yes.  By default, it is set to no.

Hi,

I add following configs
pdf_use_pentable  to yes

pen_table_file to pentable.pnt file
use_8_plotter_pens to yes

Still I am facing the issue, I will add the file you asked for...

Hi.

 

pdf_use_pentable yes
use_8_plotter_pens yes

  • these 2 options are correct

 

pen_table_file C:\Users\Public\Documents\pen table\pentable.pnt

  • this option can cause problems because the path contains space character
  • when working with Creo I always replace space character by underscore
  • example ... pen_table_file E:\users\creo7_parametric\pentable.pnt
