Cross section cutting lines don't display correctly

I am using Creo Parametric - Release 8.0 (connected) Release 8.0 and Datecode8.0.5.0

Cross section cutting lines don't appear correctly when exporting PDF. The dots and dashes look too short.

This is what I'm getting https://drive.google.com/file/d/12AUXgavN0PHAdR7DDriC-8zjtaAcv0zH/view?usp=sharing

This is the desired result https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_FPd2YIHyBwxyVX0UdCaJEMIEKQC_e9J/view?usp=sharing

Hi Martin, 

Unfortunately. Creo 3.0 and its files are no longer accessible after the upgrade. All I have left is the old PDFs (which look identical in all respects except the length of the section line dashes).


Hi,

add new option into your drawing - see picture. The value in inches represents the length of line segment.

Hi,

I am sending some information...

 

1.] Settings inside your drawing cause that cutting line and visible geometry edges are displayed using the same color, the name of this color is Geometry.

2.] By default Geometry color is drawn by pen 1. I uploaded 3 examples of pen 1 width.

My pentable is also uploaded (packed in zip file).

My config.pro contains following options:

use_8_plotter_pens yes
pen_table_file E:\users\creo7_parametric\pentable.pnt
pdf_use_pentable YES
