Hi,

http://support.ptc.com/cs/help/creo_hc/creo20_hc/index.jspx?id=About_Exporting_a_TIFF__Snapshot__TIFF_EPS_or_JP&action=s… contains following information:

This means that TIFF printer is not able to output OLE bitmaps.

TIFF file produced by this procedure contains bitmap picture. Unfortunately its quality is poor, because it represents a screenshot.

Thanks Martin for your support.

But when I save my drawing with this option, tiff file received have following properties- uncompressed 72 dpi.

But when I save my drawing with the option- Add Printer type -->tiff printer (controlled by Raster_plot_dpi in config.pro), then tiff file received have properties- CCITT.6 compression with 200 dpi, which is my requirement.

The only problem is, Inserted Bitmap image doesn't appear with this method.

So, can you suggest, how to get Bitmap inserted image with second option. Is there any special configuration in config.pro for this requirement??

Hi,

1.] TIFF (Snapshot) produces picture with resolution of your screen - 72 dpi. You cannot improve the resolution.

2.] TIFF produced as plot file does not contain OLE bitmap included in drawing. You cannot change this behavior.

Maybe you can find and install Windows TIFF printer (this means something like PDFCreator for PDF format) and create TIFF file via MS Printer Manager printer.

See List of virtual printer software - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia for inspiration.
