Drawings from ProE to Microsoft Word

[PhilipRoy]

Hey people; I need to get drawings into word in some way or another so that they appear in high quality. I'm wondering if there is some way to either do this quickly from ProE, or through various other programs. The programs at my disposal are adobe acrobat, word, proe, and autocad. I have already tried the following: 1. from proe -> dxf -> autocad -> import object into word 2. from proe -> pdf -> jpeg -> import object into word Option 1 seems to work the best, however on a non-inkjet printer, the lines show up very dim and I am not sure how to fix it (I tried adjusting lineweight to no avail). Option 2 works aswell, but it is poorer quality. Any information on this would be greatly appreciated, THANKS!

Try saving the drawing as a PDF the go to Insert>Object>Create from file>Browse and select the drawing from whatever folder you saved it to. Make sure 'display as icon' is unchecked or you will just get a pdf icon. I tried it and seems OK but you will have to decide for yourself if the quality is good enough.

Maybe try adjusting the resolution quality when you save the drawing as a PDF..

Hello Roy, Save your drawing as a CGM then bring that into word/powerpoint. Make sure you change your background to Black on White before you create your CGM. After you insert your CGM into word/powerpoint, you need to drag the CGM image from the corners only to fit your Page Size. If you drag from anything other than the corners your image will become distorted/stretched. Good Luck. Chander

This way is pretty crude but it works for me: 1. Tap the "Prt Scrn" key on your keyboard (Short for "Print Screen") after positioning the screen onto the drawing you want. 2. Open up the Word document. 3. Press "Ctrl-V" (Short for "Paste"). 4. Use Word's image editing features to crop/resize the image as needed. An alternative method may be used in conjunction with MSPAINT to crop/adjust the image as you need.[/list][/list]
