Thanks for suggestion. I will try this setting.

But my requirement is when I'll take drawing print it should look good.

Part line & dim. line etc. should be clear.

May be Dim. line with it's text should be in gray , part should be Dark black with not to thk. line. (Ideal drawing format).

If you have proven setting , if possible you share it. or 'table.pnt' file wil also do.

    So... This is still broken in creo 2? Amazing, it is not like anyone exports pdf's for any reason right?

    Not only that but the pentable I used for a "work around" from WF5 does not work for Creo now either! I have had to reduce the values to pretty much as small as possible (this is no where near any type of standard). Does anyone have a pentable with correct line weights they are willing to share?

    Our PTC representive does not have an answer which doesn't reduce the complaining from our 10 or so users..

    Thanks!

    Hi Paul,

    My pentable file: pentable.pnt.zip working fine for ProE Wildfire 2.0-5.0 and for PTC Creo Parametric 1.0 and 2.0 too.

    If you need use this pentable for pdf export, do you need to set configuration option:

    pdf_use_pentable yes

    use_8_plotter_pens yes
