I am looking for some example jlink code that will print/plot a drawing to a postscript file.
The following 2 links show examples for creating a pdf export:but I can't seem to find anything for creating a postscript file.

ModelDescriptor descr = pfcModel.ModelDescriptor_Create(ModelType.MDL_DRAWING, partNumber, null);

Updates on this question. I opened a case with PTC which resulted in 2 new articles in their
Knowledge Base and some key word additions to 2 existing articles so they are more likely to be
found when searching. These are good articles with that also contain the most important items: code
examples

The list of articles follows. The last 2 are new and the first 2 were already created when I was
having this issue.
