UGNX2 printing vs plotting 1

[bosoxme]

I have a colleauge that uses print vs plot for simple printing of 8.5x11 shts. I always use plotting. But, when he prints the line widths are printing very bold (fat). Is there a setting in UG for this? In .def file or otherwise?
Or is this just a print defenition?
Thanks in advance if anyone knows.

Go into your ugii_env.dat file & add the following line and see if his line thickness gets thinner:

UGII_WMF_LINE_WIDTH_SCALE_FACTOR=.25

Feel free to change the .25 to any number you like. You will have to exit and restart NX each time you change the .25 variable and save the .dat file.

Other than adding the above, I'm not sure what else might be contributing to this issue.

Hope this helps.

Is there any particular to add this line?

I love this forum. Always can get answers.

Glad you got it to work out. It might be of use to keep track of these sorts of things for your next major migration (i.e. NX3 to NX4, etc.).

Is there a way to use a sketch in several components, then, modify one sketch and have all the components update?

 

[Xwheelguy]

Yes.

You might want to start a separate thread rather than hijacking a Printing thread ;o).

The other way is to simply make the UG graphics window smaller (just a bit is all that's needed) then print. For some reason there is a bug that causes the big fat lines. That said, changing the scale factor is more accurate.
