Drawing Line Scales do not print/export as shown in Drawing Mode

[ngoutis]

Can anyone explain what controls how Creo scales center, hidden, and phantom lines, when printing or exporting? This is a problem I've ignored longer enough -- hopefully someone can provide some insight for me.

Thanks,

Nick

Hello Nick Goutis,

l´m almost sure that right settings are hidden somewhere in PEN TABLE FILE. *.PNT extension. These file is responsible for 2D drawing to PDF printing output.

Don´t know exact enswer, but can give you some directions:

- see attached file with basic informations about *.PNT file

- see ProE help about PEN TABLE expression

- see PTC community for PEN TABLE expression

Please Refer:Suggested Technique for Creating Table.pnt files and Setting Default Pens

Hi,

hidden line print pattern can be defined in pen table file:

pen  3  pattern 0.5, 0.2 cm; thickness 0.025 cm; color 0.0 0.0 0.0;  half_tone_color

axis print pattern depends on drawing size, by default, you can configure pattern length using drawing option:
