Hello Vladimir,
1) Is there a way to control the thickness of dimension lines and leaders (in theory pen 2) separate from the Geometry (solid lines, contours) (in theory that must be pen 1) ?
At the moment, they are all controlled by pen 1, (and not just the thickenns, but also the color)
(i want the dimension lines and notes in RED, the axes and center marks in GREEN, and all the rest in black,
and i obtained that with a workaround:
didn't set a color in pentable for pen 1, and made all the dimensions, leaderboards and notes red, "manually", from the drawing - Format.
In that way, the geometry lines are still black, just the dimensions are red ).
I searched for line_style_standard, but it didn't exist in Creo 9
OR am I false, and "pen 2" controls just the text of dimensions ?
Is that normal to have the dimension lines thickness the same width as the geometry contour lines ?
2) I also want to set certain gap dimensions for the axes, simetry lines, center marks ... How can i achieve that upon config.pro or the pentable ?
My pentable looks like this:
pen 1 thickness 0.008 cm;
pen 2 thickness 0.001 cm; color 0.0 1.0 0.0;
pen 3 thickness 0.004 cm; color 0.0 0.0 0.0;
pen 4 thickness 0.001 cm; color 0.0 0.0 0.0;
pen 5 thickness 0.008 cm; color 0.0 0.0 0.0;
pen 6 thickness 0.004 cm; color 0.0 0.0 0.0;
pen 7 thickness 0.001 cm; color 0.0 0.0 0.0;
pen 8 thickness 0.001 cm; color 0.0 0.0 0.0;

Hi, thank you for your question. Sorry for my late reply...busy day.
I will try to edit your pentable file a little bit.
But it takes time. I will try to find some solution for you. Best Regards, Vladimir

[@yashvedak3899]

I made a pentable text file, saved it in D drive as print.pnt, now how will my creo detect the pentable file? I am blank sir

[@4kside]

pen_table_file d:\config\print.pnt - please use this configuration option into your config.pro file Note: path is as an example

[@saikrishnadittakavi6269]

Hi, this may be out of topic, but how to convert a creo drawing to TIFF file? I tried with some options but I am ending up just saving a screenshot of the drawing. But I really need to convert the drawing to either JPEG or TIFF file.

[@4kside]

Hi, thanks for your question.
The best practice is to create pdf and convert to tiff (you can set 600dpi)
I did not find something better (only this workaround)
Bye, Vladimir

[@4kside]

Also is possible to print drawings as tiff (by print functionality) but if I remember correctly, it is only 300dpi (I have to dobble check)

[@arunbitmech]

@@4kside Thanks Vladimir 🙂👍

[@MrEngie85]

Is there anyway to make center crosses/marks smaller than the size controlled by pen 1?

[@4kside]

Hi, I do not think so.

[@smali959701]
