Shaded views overlapping

[nhanratty]

Hi all

I'm guessing this has been asked before but it there a way of preventing shaded views from overlapping each other on a drawing? See attched image.

We've tried changing the views to partial views and redrawing their 'boundaries' but it didn't make any difference.

Any ideas anybody?

I have no problems with multiple shaded views like you're showing, even when I try to force it.

That doesn't look like a view. It looks like a gif or jpeg or something pasted into the drawing. That definitely could cause the overlap problem you're showing.

Sorry I should have qualified this a bit more...the image I attachedis from a PDF generated from Creo, not the native Creo drawing file.

Thank to Donald for reminding me off that point.

So is there anything in the export to PDF optionsthat would help this?

Thanks again to all.

I like to think that creating a parital view would help - closely outline the geometry so that there is no overlap, but I'll bet that that's not going to help with the irregular nature of the images and the desparate need for rectangles that bitmaps usually have.

You might be able to salvage this in Adobe Illustrator; I'm pretty sure the eclipsed portions are still in the file. You would just removed the white backdrop that PTC put on each image and convert it to transparent.

Alternatively, erase selected views and create the output, then use Illustrator or Photoshop or some other program to re-integrate without the white background.

According to http://www.mcadcentral.com/creo-drawing/16784-shaded-view-s-ouline-overlapping-views-2.html it's been a problem, but is fixed in Creo.

Sorry, I missed the Creo 2 notation.

How are you creating the PDF - directly from PTC or using an external program to distill a Postscript file?
