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

 

Thank you to anyone who can help.
