Black and white picture

[Eleutheria]

Dear people,


I seem to have a problem. I work with Proe2001 (student edition) and i need to show my drawings to my supervisor. But he wants to see them in black and white! And now i don't want to print them, but need to have files on the computer that show the drawings in black and white. And they have to be viewed without Proe.





Can anyone help me?


thanx a bunch!

pdf them


assuming pdf works with SE


pdf995 is a free download


there is some talk here about pdfs do a search on that

 

[Eleutheria]

euhm, thanx for your reply but i'm at school and i can't download anything, but if this is the only to do something like this i think i have to try to get permission...

 

[megaladon]

you can change your back ground to white in drawing mode


could then save as a tiff or jpeg

Print to CGM file. These import in Word very nicely. Do File/Print/Add Printer Type/CGM.

Thanx guys for your response!


The CGM method didn't work, if i have the cgm file, word don't want to open it properly, but i guess i'm doing something wrong there.


Right now i just changes the backgroundcolors and such and that works like a dream!





Thanx again!

In Word do Insert/Picture/From File. Works perfectly. Much higher quality (vector file) than TIFF screen dump.

i couldnt get it to work that way either DR_G i am getting some message in word that file is wacked


it is saving it as a .plt file also

 

[Eleutheria]

what i did was just alter the letter behind the dot, so it originally says .plt, but i changed it into .cmg


Than Word can open it

Set the following config.pro option:

Plot_Names Yes

Now Pro/E will use .cgm extension for CGM files, .ps for PostScript, .plt for HPGL, etc.
