Is there a place where you can control/set these parameters (globally) for every time a drawing is exported to .dwg format?
Thanks, Dale
Solved! Go to Solution.
Dale,
Try changing the word "white" to "7".
Also, double check that the file is being read in properly. Check the trail file and/or the std.out file for any errors.
This is what we're using:
map_color BACKGROUND_COLOR 7
map_color DIMMED_COLOR 7
map_color LETTER_COLOR 7
map_color HIGHLIGHT_COLOR 7
map_color EDGE_HIGHLIGHT_COLOR 7
map_color GEOMETRY_COLOR 7
map_color HIDDEN_COLOR 7
map_color SHEETMETAL_COLOR 7
map_color CURVE_COLOR 7
map_color VOLUME_COLOR 7
map_color SECTION_COLOR 7
map_color PRESEL_HIGHLIGHT_COLOR 7
map_color SELECTED_COLOR 7
map_color SECONDARY_SELECTED_COLOR 7
map_color PREVIEW_GEOM_COLOR 7
map_color SECONDARY_PREVIEW_COLOR 7
map_color DATUM_COLOR 7
map_color QUILT_COLOR 7
Dale,
Use the config.pro option:
intf2d_out_dxf_mapping_file <full path to mapping file>
in the mapping file, you can define
map_color
map_layer
map_line_style
map_font
For example:
map_color BACKGROUND_COLOR 7
map_color DIMMED_COLOR 7
map_color LETTER_COLOR 7
map_color HIGHLIGHT_COLOR 7
map_layer DXF_AXIS 1
map_layer DXF_CONTINUOUS_LINE 2
map_layer DXF_HIDDEN_LINE 3
map_line_style solidfont continuous
map_line_style dotfont dot
map_line_style ctrlfont center
map_line_style phantomfont phantom
map_font font verdana.ttf
map_font filled verdana.ttf
map_font isofont isocp3_iv50.ttf

Is there a particular extension that you need to give to this file?
.scl are system color files, is there something like that?
If I try it and it doesn't work to my satisfaction, is there a way to turn it off?
I created a file called: dxf_export.pro
In that file I created a series of:
map_color geometry white
map_color hidden_line white
map_color sketch white
map_color curve white
map_color quilt white
map_color manufacturing_volume white
map_color sheet_metal white
map_color datum white
map_color letter white
map_color highlight_primary white
map_color highlight_secondary white
map_color highlight_edge white
Having saved it all. Exiting out of Creo/WF5.0 and getting back in (in order to set the config.pro and other files), when I exported, nothing changed.
Are you still on the community site and could possibly help?
I have been reading through you thread:

Daniel,
I changed the whites to 7's - nothing yet.
Do you see anything wrong/inconsistent with this:
Thanks,
Dale
Daniel,
I replicated what you had listed and it worked.
More out of curiosity, why are the parameter names you listed (which work), different then what was listed on my first post (which didn't work - yet are what shows up in the properties box ).
Thanks for all your help.
Dale
Daniel,
Do you know what I would need to change symbols to white?
Thanks, Dale
I tried:
map_color symbol_color 7
But that didn't work. Does anyone have other thoughts?
Thanks, Dale
Hi,
open Creo dialog, where you can mix Creo system colors (geometry, curves, background, and so on) and try to find out which system color is associated with your symbol.
MH
According to this, the System Color is Intrinsic:
I tried:
map_color intrinsic_color 7
but that didn't work.
Dale,
Intrinsic color tells you, that the symbol contains several entities and these single entities have different colors assigned.
To edit symbol definition:
MH
Intrinsic is just a button/indicator for the original color(s) the symbol was created with.
It should be 'default' but there's not enough GUI style QC.
I did click on Color and change it to "Letter" and when it was exported, it became white
Now how do I edit the symbol in the library?
