Publishing 2D drawing in pdf or plt format
Hello,
since we implemented PDMLink, our system published our 2D drawings in the pdf format. As we did not know better at that time we found it was fine. A few months ago when we updated our system from 9.0 to 9.1M050, there was a different setting and the 2D drawings were then published in plt format. We were impressed as we could have thumbnails of the 2D drawings and when open in ProductView you could marked up, zoom more easily etc... However, the font used, which was OK for the pdf was not ok for plt format. We talked with our VAR to get some advices on how to improve the font (rcp or directly in the drw file) but our VAR told us not to use plt.
They gave us some reasons but finally set the system back to how it was in 9.0 ie our 2D drawings are published in pdf.
As we have been working a long time with our VAR, we trust them enough- However I would like to go to the bottom line and explore this further as I feel plt format is a lot more powerful.
What is your experience and what would you recommend ?
Thank you
