Line Drawing Software?

[ptc-1765690]

I am looking for software that will quickly convert a PROE file into a black and white no hidden line 3D wireframe model. This software needs the capablities to easily change the line weight... I have tried to do this in PROE but can't find any function to change line weights easily. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi, Can't you change the line width using pentables. E.g. add in the general config.pro (which you can find or if it doesn't exist create in the text directory located in the instalation directory of Pro/E, e.g. c:\ptc\proewildfire4\text\config.pro) the following line pen_table_file c:\ptc\plotters\table.pnt Then create in c:\ptc\plotters a file with the name table.pnt Within this file add the following lines pen 1 thickness .050 cm pen 2 thickness .025 cm pen 3 thickness .035 cm Can't this do the trick for you ? Best regards, John Bijnens

Have a look at PTC's Arbortext IsoDraw. It does a great job with this.
