Pro-e 5, ordinate dims printing off, bolding issue

[ptc-4502156]

My company just switched over to Pro-E 5 from Pro-E 3.

As a company we use Shannon text as our default for drawings. I noticed that the ordinate dimensions are scattered and not lining up to the leader line and some text is coming out BOLD now. I attached a file to show the issues. I did not have this problem in Pro-E 3.

I made sure that all the text was set to Shannon not Shannon Bold. I cant figure out this ordinate dim. issues either.

Hope someone can help.

Ryan,

1.] tell us what WF5 maintenance release do you use (M130 is the latest one)

2.] tell us how did you produce the picture (I guess it is scanned paper print)

3.] try to create new drawing in WF5

4.] upload ProE data if it is possible

1) We are using M60. I talked to my admin. and he is being difficult on upgrading on a timley manor.

2) I scanned the printed drawing into my CPU. Default test is fine, its when we use Shannon

3) I have created a new drawing in WF5 and still have issue

4) Not sure what data your need?

Thanks for the help guys.

ALSO,

I just did a little test.

Only all TrueType fonts have this issue. so its not just Shannon. The Pro-e fonts work fine.

Another weird thing it that is onyl happens to the horizontal ordinate dims. NOT the vertical ordinate dims.

It may be a service pack issue but not sure

Ryan,

can you upload ProE part and ProE drawing for testing purposes ?

Note:

ProE WF3 strokes all fonts, when you print. In ProE WF5 you have to set this option in Settings dialog box before you start print (or generating PDF output). Please try it.

Note:

What kind of printer do you use. Is it Postscript printer ?

The strokes all fonts was the trick. Something so silly and easy.

Thanks for the help.
