How can we create a Raster from Creo Drawing?

[AD_10391380]

I have an old drawing file and I opened it in Creo Drawing 8.0 and want to create a Raster of that file.
Can anyone please help me with how I can create it?

To create a raster image from a Creo drawing file, you can use the 'Save As' functionality in Creo Parametric to export your drawing in a raster format such as JPEG or PNG.

Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. **Open Your Drawing**: First, make sure your drawing is open in Creo Parametric.

2. **Go to File Menu**: Click on the 'File' menu in the upper left corner of the Creo window.

3. **Select 'Save As'**: In the dropdown menu, look for the 'Save As' option. Click on it to open the save as dialog box.

4. **Choose the File Type**: In the save as dialog, you should see a list of file formats. Select a raster file format such as JPEG or PNG. These are standard formats for raster images and should be suitable for most needs.

5. **Set the Options**: Depending on the file format you choose, you may have some options to set, such as image quality or resolution. Adjust these settings according to your needs.

6. **Save the File**: After setting the options, select the location where you want to save the file, give it a name, and click 'Save'.

7. **Check the Output**: Once the file is saved, navigate to the saved location and open the file to ensure it meets your expectations.

This process will convert your Creo drawing into a standard image format that can be viewed and shared without needing Creo Parametric. Remember, raster images are pixel-based, so they might lose clarity if scaled up significantly.

Hi,

Thanks for the quick response but I can not able to select the Option as it is greyed out.

File -> Print -> Print -> Settings -> + arrow down symbol to the right of the printer -> Add Printer Type -> Scroll to bottom and add TIFF -> Change destination to file -> Click Print Button -> Click Browse button and set the folder location -> change file extension to TIFF in the path -> Click OK

Hello,

Thanks for the reply.

I added TIFF in the Printer but the extension comes as  .plt and I can't change it.
There is no other option available in the dropdown.

See image below. Once you have setup your TIFF printer, you should click on the print button and then there will be a dialog box where you can set the location and change the file extension.
