Tangent Edge with Font printing issue
Tangent Edge with Font printing issue
(OP)
I like the fact that tangent edge can be displayed with their own font. The problem I have is that when I print the part, the line size is different on the printout than it is on the screen.
By size I mean the spacing between the dots in a dotted line for example.
(to show those lines I right click on the view and select Tangent Edge->Tangent Edge with Font)
Note: I am using SolidWorks 2001 SP9.

But here is how the line shows between two edges:
On the screen: |----- - - ---- - - ----|
On the printout: |-------- -- -- --------|
When I print to Full Scale the Phantom lines display correctly. But when I use the Scale to Fit option they all blow up to double the size. Again by size I mean the spacing between the dots, not the line weight.
This becomes a problem when the Phantom lines are so large that it is hard to differentiate the Tangent Edges form the rest of the part.
