Display of hidden lines in UG NX 9.0 doesn't match .pdf exported
Display of hidden lines in UG NX 9.0 doesn't match .pdf exported
(OP)
Hi Everyone, I am using UG NX 9. When I am in drafting and my hidden lines displayed the way I want them on my details I try to export them to .pdf or print them the hidden lines look like garbage on the print out or exported .pdf.
Where is a setting to match the hidden lines that are displayed in the drafting views to the print out / .pdf?
Thanks,
Patrick.

File - All Preferences - Visualization...
Line tab: The software fonts ( activate to edit the values) the dash size should in a metric part be , say, 3 mm, the space size 2 mm.
when set, turn off software font.

Software font is used when plotting, it's the setting on how long the dash and the spaces should be. You should correct these values in your templates if they are wrong.
"Hardware font" is when the graphics card will produce the dashes and spaces and we have no control over how large these are.
Many -many years ago not all graphics cards had dashed lines as a function and we could in NX then decide to run the display using "software fonts",
now all cards has dashed lines as a function and the settings are for plotting / pdf's only.

Tomas
