NX 1899/1872 - CGM generation from shaded view changes color

[Sven S.]

Dear NX community,

I try to export a TIFF-File with 300 dpi and exact coloring from a drawing for a standard. The only way to get a high resolution image I found is the plotting function, which creates a basic CGM-file from which my .tif is created.
The issue I encounter is that in the CGM-file the colors are darkened significantly. As a result, I cannot create bright objects as required for the standard. Even when I set the color for a bright model to "white" in the modelling mode, it applies as a rather dark grey color after the CGM creation. In the drawing window it looks fine.

In the tif-file attached you will see the two parts the model is made of. I can compensate the darkening of the main body by choosing a brighter color, but not for the CUT-parts, since the color chosen is already white.

I would be glad, if anyone would have another suggestion how to proceed.

Greetings,
Sven

I found a workaround with help in another forum:
The issue cannot be resolved easily, since NX does not support the functionality. Instead, I increased the basic light in the modelling view. With this I could compensate the darkening during export.
