WF4 to Creo Elements/Pro 5 PDF Line Thickness

Looks like you are missing the color_name

To Change Plotting Pen Attributes You can change the attributes and assign your own line font, thickness, or color to a pen using the table.pnt file. Any attribute that you specify overwrites the default instructions. The format for an entry in the table.pnt file is as follows: pen # pattern values units; thickness value units; color values; <color_name> Note For each pen definition, the pen number (pen #) must be the first entry and the color name (color_name) the last entry. Other attributes can be in any order. • pattern—Specifies plotted line font definition drawn according to defined values in the given units. Values are created in the following order: first line segment length, first space length, second line segment length, second space length, and so on. For example: pen 3 pattern .1 .05 .025.05. • thickness—Specifies plotted line thickness in the given units. • color—Specifies color used for plotting; defines color using proportions of red, green, and blue on a scale 0 to 1. Works only on color plotters. • <color_name>—Corresponds to the default Creo Parametric color that the system assigns to a particular entity type (to access the default system colors, click File ▶ Options ▶ System Colors, and then, in the System Colors tab, select Default from the Color scheme list.

Hello,

it has already been discussed in july :

Here is the answer I wrote :

Hello, you have to change your pen table file (*.pnt) in order to set the thickness of printed lines. You can search for "pen table file" in the help center. If you use a pdf printer (like pdf creator or cutepdf writer ), this file have to be choosed in the printer configuration. If you export your drawing as PDF file, you have to set "Use pentable" in the PDF export settings and you have to have a file called table.pnt in your working directory (unless you are using the config.pro option pen_table_file). 1st example: All lines in thin black: pen 8 thickness 0.01 cm;color 0.0 0.0 0.0;attention_color letter_color highlite_color\ drawing_color half_tone_color magenta_color edge_highlite_color dimmed_color\ section_color presel_highlight_color datum_color quilt_color selected_color\ secondary_selected_color curve_color pen 1 thickness 0.01 cm;color 0.0 0.0 0.0 pen 2 thickness 0.01 cm;color 0.0 0.0 0.0 pen 3 thickness 0.01 cm;color 0.0 0.0 0.0 pen 4 thickness 0.01 cm;color 0.0 0.0 0.0 pen 5 thickness 0.01 cm;color 0.0 0.0 0.0 pen 6 thickness 0.01 cm;color 0.0 0.0 0.0 pen 7 thickness 0.01 cm;color 0.0 0.0 0.0 2nd example: All lines thin and coloured: pen 8 thickness 0.01 cm;attention_color letter_color highlite_color\ drawing_color half_tone_color magenta_color edge_highlite_color dimmed_color\ section_color presel_highlight_color datum_color quilt_color selected_color\ secondary_selected_color curve_color pen 1 thickness 0.01 cm pen 2 thickness 0.01 cm pen 3 thickness 0.01 cm pen 4 thickness 0.01 cm pen 5 thickness 0.01 cm pen 6 thickness 0.01 cm pen 7 thickness 0.01 cm 3rd example: A good pen table for printing drawings in black and white: pen 8 thickness 0.025 cm;color 0.0 0.0 0.0;attention_color highlite_color drawing_color magenta_color\ section_color presel_highlight_color selected_color secondary_selected_color pen 1 thickness 0.01 cm;color 0.0 0.0 0.0 dimmed_color letter_color curve_color edge_highlite_color half_tone_color datum_color quilt_color pen 2 thickness 0.025 cm;color 0.0 0.0 0.0 pen 3 thickness 0.025 cm;color 0.0 0.0 0.0 pen 4 thickness 0.025 cm;color 0.0 0.0 0.0 pen 5 thickness 0.025 cm;color 0.0 0.0 0.0 pen 6 thickness 0.025 cm;color 0.0 0.0 0.0 pen 7 thickness 0.025 cm;color 0.0 0.0 0.0

Regarding the color_name, it represents the drawings' entity colors.

It is well explained in the Help Center (search "To Change Plotting Pen Attributes")
