How to set Manufacturing Volume and Quilts to Pen 8 and print as gray

[cbroach]

Can someone help? I'm trying to create a pen table and would like to set Manufacturing volumes and Quilts to Pen 8 and have those lines print as gray. What would the pen table look like for that option? I'm printing to PDF.

Right now I can only get those to print as their system color.

Thanks.

Hi,

I hope you know following dialog box

In pentable:

• quilt_color corresponds with Quilt
• magenta_color corresponds with Manufacturing Volume

config.pro must contains following options:

use_8_plotter_pens yes
pen_table_file E:\users\creo4_parametric\pentable.pnt ... use your pentable
pdf_use_pentable YES

pentable must contain:

pen 8 thickness 0.035 cm; color 0.5 0.5 0.5; quilt_color; magenta_color

• color 0.5 0.5 0.5 ... I guess it is grey
• color 0.0 0.0 0.0 ... black
• color 1.0 1.0 1.0 ... white

Thanks! That worked. I was using two other color codes for grey and it was printing as black. It was driving me crazy.
