Question

PhantomOpque and Hidden Lines are the same in the exported PDF - Creo 10

When I export a PDF, the phantom and hidden lines appear to be the same, but in the Creo drawing, it’s clearly different. The only way I found that will reflect the phantom line geometry is what I did with the line highlighted in yellow. I described how I did it below.

Does anyone know how to fix this? I want to use the component display to make the lines phantomopque, and have it reflected when I export a PDF.

 

Yellow - I went to display<Line Style<Modify Lines<PHANTOMFONT

Blue - I went to Component Display<PhantomOpque

Green - Hidden Line

 

Here is the pen table I am using

pen 1 thickness 0.03 cm; geometry

pen 2 thickness 0.005 cm; dimensions

pen 3 thickness 0.02 cm; hidden; pattern .1 .1 cm;

pen 4 thickness 0.005 cm

pen 5 thickness 0.03 cm; sheetmetal green

pen 6 thickness 0.015 cm; curve_color

pen 7 thickness 0.001 cm

pen 8 thickness 0.015 cm; green textpdf

 

Thank you to anyone who can help.
