Dimension line color ,hidden lines

[indyeah]

hi,


could someone please help me out with the following:-


1. when dimensioning the dimensions come in the default color ie yellow. How can i modify this so that when i print the drawing i get the typical black color.


2. The hidden lines appear grey, how to change the line properties so that they appear dashed(- - - ).


3. How does one display the center of arounded edgewhile dimensioning.


thanks

Its not advisible to change color in the drawing, these settings are related to printer, open tools->option and use Find option to find printer related options.

Don't change the dimension color, control your plotter through plotter configuration files (*.pcf) and pen table files (*.pnt). Here is an example of a PCF file:

plotter POSTSCRIPT
button_name POSTB
button_help Plots B size output to HP 8000
plot_drawing_format YES default
plot_segmented NO default
plot_roll_media NO default
plot_handshake NO default
plot_label NO default
create_separate_files NO default
plot_with_panzoom YES default
rotate_plotting NO default
allow_file_naming YES
plot_name YES
interface_quality 3 default
plot_destination file_and_printer default
plotter_command windows_print_manager \\GVLEX1\GVL28124
pen_table_file G:\solid\drw_files\postscript20.pnt
plot_sheets all default
paper_size_allowed B A
paper_size B default
plot_clip NO default
plot_area NO default
!landscape_postscript_print yes default
plot_access create


Here is the PNT file:
!Pro/E geometry lines are white on the screen, plot with broad pen #2 (0.250mm)
!
pen 2 thickness .025 cm; drawing_color attention_color
!
!Everything else plots with fine pen #1 (0.125mm)
!
pen 1 thickness .0125 cm; half_tone_color
pen 3 thickness .0125 cm; dimmed_color
pen 4 thickness .0125 cm; edge_highlite_color
pen 5 thickness .0125 cm; letter_color
pen 6 thickness .0125 cm; highlite_color
pen 7 thickness .0125 cm; magenta_color
pen 8 thickness .0125 cm; section_color

PS Pro/E will automatically plot the hidden lines in a dashed font.
