Question

creo pen table (table.pnt) colors for cable parts

so I'm familiar with the help docs and other items in the help/support site on setting up a pen table (table.pnt)  but is there a specific "color" callout for cable part files?  or is it all wrapped up under pen 1?

 

I dont want to set PEN 1 to black because ive got other entities on the drawing i want to have in color.

 

Ive tried isolating the quilt_color to a unique pen and that doesn't work.  Any thoughts?  Or should I file an enhancement?

Hi,

1.] please upload data set for testing purposes (Creo version ?)

2.] try to find which color is connected to cable parts

3.] if it is necessary you can "move" entitied plotted by pen 1 to another pen ... to do this you must know appropriate keywords

Thanks Martin.   That "appropriate keyword” is what i am looking for specific to cable.prt files.  i have a feeling I need to place an enhancement, since the cables wire colors are all over the place.
