how to create a new pen_table_file

Hello, try following:

1) Copy following text into *.txt file. It´s in czech leanguage. Rows with ! are notes.

! TABULKA PER - černý tisk

! VÝRAZY V KULATÝCH ZÁVORKÁCH - SKUPINY S BARVAMI (NAPŘ. ZMĚNA BARVY SKICOVANÉ ENTITY VE VÝKRESE)

!(GEOMETRY, VOLUME) hrany geometrie, objem

pen 1 color 0 0 0; thickness 0.025 cm;

!(LETTER) kóty

pen 2 color 0 0 0; thickness 0.01 cm;

!(HIDDEN) skryté hrany

pen 3 color 0 0 0; thickness 0.01 cm;

!(HIGHLITE) červená strana roviny, zvýraznění

pen 4 color 0 0 0; thickness 0.01 cm;

! "Sheetmetal"

pen 5 color 0 0 0; thickness 0.01 cm;

!(SECTION)

pen 6 color 0 0 0; thickness 0.01 cm;

!(DIMMED)

pen 7 color 0 0 0; thickness 0.01 cm;

!(EDGE_HIGHLITE_COLOR) text

pen 8 color 0 0 0; thickness 0.01 cm;

2) Extension of the file you have just created needs to be changed from *.TXT to *.PNT

3) Add following config.pro options:

pen_table_file W:\CREO_2_setup\pen_table\pen_table.pnt --- MUST BE EXACT PATH to avoid problems

pdf_use_pentable yes

l hope it will works.

Also try to check integrated ProE help for "Pen table" expresion.

See the second entry in the previous post. I have included a simple pen table file and a simpler way to use it until you get it the way you want: entity line high thickness in printout

And also the last entry here on how to add a pen table to config.pro: Changing line thickness in Pro E 5 Drawings
