Hi Pro/Users:

I'm no longer a day to day user of Pro/E but I am creating PDF's of Drawings and would like to have the lines not to have a thickness when I use the Acrobat Distiller.

may some day I will get back in the saddle.

RE: 0 Line width to PDF

One way to control line thickness is to plot the proe file to postscript and then covert that file to pdf using Adobe or GPstill or something similar.

this works great on files generated in pro/e, thanks!

I am also bringing in DXF files in to the drawing mode and I'm still getting these thick lines. I'm using Adobe Acrpbate Distillier.

any suggestions on the conrtol feature?

RE: 0 Line width to PDF

Sorry, I haven't been that route.

If I get time I'll try it and see if I can overcome the thick line problem.  (I have limited access to software here.  It's a government owned facility.)
