How can I export a pro/e drw file as a tiff file?

How can I export a pro/e drw file as a tiff file?

How can I export a pro/e drw file as a tiff file?

(OP)
I need to export a pro/e drawing file as a tiff file, but I don't know if I made the right setings in config.pro. The tiff file came out very rough. The confing.pro settings I used are: tiff_compression: g4 and tiff_type: mono. Any other settings in order to get a nice legible tiff drawing?

Thanks!

Ediushu,

Please forget the drwaing TIFF/JPEG export. Try instead CGM which is scalar and can be imported in all office documents. Or PS which can be easly converted in PDF.

I didn't use TIFF/JPEG export, I used the print option. It worked fine in pro/e 2001, but since I'm using the Wildfire I can't get the same result even if I made the same settings as for 2001.
   I never used CGM or PS, but sounds very attractive. Can you please be more specific in how to use those options?
Thank you Hora!

In 2001 there is an option in config which controls the resolution of the tiff file. This is raster_dpi_plot, you can set the resolution up to 400 dpi. It works fine for us.

Ediushu,

If you still want to have the dwgs in TIFF, I agree with Joe.

For CGM (works great for drawing because all the lines are vectors and can be sized without loosing details) do the following:

- in drawing mode, change colors scheme for black on white
- save as drawing as CGM
- restore colors as default

That's all

PS is POSTSCRIPT.

Thank you joeborg1! That was the option I was looking for. It worked fine.
