Question

Help please - Creo View Express prints drawings with solid hidden lines

When viewing and printing our pro/e drawings from Creo View Express, our hidden lines show and print as solid lines.  Our purchasing dept uses this program to print drawings and pdfs to order parts, and as you could guess this has caused us many problems.   Upgrading from Creo View Express 3.0 to 3.1 helped a little because it added the option to view and print drawings as grayscale (rather than just monochrome or color) which makes the hidden lines gray, however they are still solid which is not ideal.  Any suggestions?


Thanks,
Todd

Bumping this one up....

 

Using Wildfire 4.0 and our non-engineers have been using Creo View Express 5.0 to view and print drawings, however the solid but dimmed hidden lines in ProE show up as solid in the viewer.  These drawings go out to our supply base, and not having the hidden lines represented accurately causes problems.

 

Any solutions for getting Creo View Express to represent hidden lines correctly?  Tried 6.0 and it's the same.

 

Thanks,

Dean

The image is stored in WIndchill as a PDF file. Try playing with the config.pro file on your publishing machine to get the proper lines to  show in the views.

 

WIldifre 4 is pretty old, so not sure how many still run it to help with settings.
