Creating a PDF file from a ProE (WF2) drawing,
I obtain a document with different line thickness :
visible geometry with heavy thickness,
dimension, texts and tangent line with light thickness.

I'd like to get a same light thickness for all elements.
I tried to change colors to geometry unsuccessfully.

Any idea ?

Thanks in advance
Pier

The Help files, Fundementals module, has some explanation of pen table files and
alternatively, how to ensure that Pro/e uses system colors to determine plotted
line weights. I'm sure this information is communicated to the postscript file and
then to the PDF translation.

BTW, if you get it figured out, could you post the solution here?

I only tried to create a xxxx.pnt file with the following line.

pen 3 drawing_color

It works !
The thickness of the lines is right for printing.
Thanks
Pier

If you want set the same width to all entities, you can change the thickness for
all the pens
