That curve in the sketch was a spline and the end was not aligned properly to the ends of the revolve. I replaced that spline by projecting the edge of the Revolve.

Tom,

 

Thanks for the input.  For the below drawing, it appears the only thing that will print in color are datums (axis).  Even the blue dimension lines, GD&T symbols, and datum symbols all print in black.  I used the same settings for the PDF export, selected Color and unchecked pentable.

Re: Firefox ESR setting for WC and Creo View 4

Once we upgraded to WC 11.0 and Creo 4 the first Cad object you open with Creo,  Creo makes you log into it.

 

This is intentional by design and will happen with all browsers.

 

From this article: https://support.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/case_solution.jsp?n=CS237817

 

Out-of-the-box, Windchill 11.0 M010 is configured to use the new Creo View Agent launching mechanism: 

  • This mechanism will launch the Creo View Agent (pvagent.exe) on the client machine
  • You will need to accept the browsers' request to launch the Creo View Agent and optionally check the box to remember the decision
  • You may also need to accept the Windows User Account Control (UAC) prompt, if enabled, to launch the application
  • Because this is a separate application from the initiating Windchill browser, it will also require you to authenticate again for the same Windchill server 
    • Once the Creo View Agent has been launched, however, it will not require re-authentication for the same Windchill server and user combination whilst it remains running (configurable)

Even the blue dimension lines, GD&T symbols, and datum symbols all print in black.

 

But are these all using the same system color?  From my testing, everything using the system color "Letter" will always print in black.

Try picking a different color for some of these entities.

Hi,

 

I used "PDF DRAW Multipage Export Visible" along with my config.pro. But the tasks submitted in Creo Distributed Batch are getting Failed. Please help me.!!

Another edge that refuses a round!

 

I cannot get this inside edge to take a round.

Tom,

 

In order for the text (and dimension lines) to show up in color in the PDF export, I selected standard colors and not system colors in the Format tab.  The image in the lower right is a snippet from a PDF export and shows the .125 in blue and the 100.0° in black, because I changed the .125 to a standard color (I didn't try other system colors).  Now, I have to figure out how to keep the standard color configuration turned on so I don't have to select this every time I make an annotation.

Tom,

 

I selected the green in the systems color, and it printed out green, as shown below.

It doesn't matter what RGB value you change the system color "Letter" to, it will always output black.  Unfortunately I don't know of any way to have annotations (dimensions, notes, tables, etc.) automatically use a different system color.

Thank for tips.  I was able to change any of the text to a desired color except the GD&T and datum reference symbol.  I can change the datum reference symbol color in the model, but not in the drawing.  The image below is from the exported pdf with the items that remain black boxed in red.

Just out of curiousity, what's the purpose?

I tried also to set up Creo Distributed Batch a while ago, but never managed to avoid these errors. It seems to happen randomly. At this time I opened a case on support, but it was never solved. And finally, I found it quicker to export my drawings one by one directly in Creo.

Hi MRV

 

Yes I forgot to use variable round and it works!

How can I insert a Symbol in a View State using Drawing Program?

$

Hi, all,

 

I'm trying to manage a drawing with almost 200 View States. One of my problem (beside the most important that I can't find  a Tutorial) is that I can't insert a Symbol in a View State (a new one or editing an existing one). The Help Center says this about Detail Items which includes dimensions, notes, and balloon notes but NOT symbols:

To Create Detail Items in a Drawing State

To create detail items such as dimensions, notes, and balloon notes in a drawing state, choose Create from the DWG COMMANDS menu that appears when you click Tools> Drawing Program> Define States> Create State> Record Cmds. Items that you create in one state are not visible in any other state or outside of the drawing program.

Does anyone knows how to insert a symbol in a View State, please?

Is it possible to export 3D annotations from Creo 3.0 into a stp file? Want to make it visible in another CAD software ...

Hi,

 

in https://support.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?n=CS134385 I can see this information:

 

intf3d_out_annotations

intf3d_out_parameters

 

STEP

For annotation and parameter export support, set config.pro option step_export_format to ap203_e2 or ap214_is

  • In Creo Parametric 4.0 use an Export Profile to set the Application Protocol to ap203_e2, ap214_is, or ap242_e1 and check the boxes next to Annotations and Parameters

 

Note: I did not test the above information.

We use a parameter and also have the luxury of an engineering checker. The parameter is a mandatory field to fill in if a 'similar-to' exists. That is one of the drawing review checklist questions.

Hi,

 

I opened Case at PTC Support and asked them ... why system color "Letter" is always output black ? One week has gone and no answer arrived. They are investigating the issue.
