Plotting Sheetmetal

Plotting Sheetmetal

Plotting Sheetmetal

(OP)
When Pro/E was initially set-up it was believed that the Sheetmetal option would never be used. For printing/plotting reasons it was decided that the Sheetmetal colour (green) could be assigned to the tables/repeat regions on the drawing formats and amended so that the thickness of the line was 0.01 cm (ie, so that this line would be almost invisible once printed/plotted). I now need to use this Sheetmetal option but now have this
printing/plotting problem.
* I've tried changing the formats - this fails because the existing drawings in the Commonspace do not get updated unless you add/replace the format).
* I've tried changing the colour of the Sheetmetal - this fails because it is linked to both the model and the table/repeat region.

Any ideals on how to solve this problem ????

RE: Plotting Sheetmetal

Have you tried changing the colours under View>Display settings then either entity colours or system colours.
Sometimes I change the system colours to black on white under the scheme menu.

Is this what you were after?
