Different pen table depending on drawing format for a CAD Worker?
Hi all,
Looking into a need where detailed construction drawing would sometimes be plotted to pdf on A1 and A2 size format by Worker, other times on A3 or A4. Going on paper size only is not a solution for differentiating contour line from the dimension line, as paper size can also be used for assemblies, etc. requiring other pen thicknesses. One suggestion is using different drawing format templates. Is there a way to connect format to specific pen table? Or any other smart solution someone already has arrived at?
- Pen table decides thickness.
- Pen table file can be pointed to in config.pro (if not storing in default location).
Format neither calls for pen table, nor config.pro to be used. - Pen table can also be selected in a plotter configuration file (pcf file)
Only one pcf-file can be pointed to from the Recipe (.rcp) - Would programmatic approach be needed (even possible to catch this?) on Windchill side in any way based on format?
Using different Workers for different drawings seems to be overkill, not sure if this is the way.
Hope I managed to express the issue clearly. Have checked places like these:
