cosmetic features disappear in plt files

[harichennai]

Hi all,


we have a tool kit program that uses the plotter "HP7945", it creates plot files and stores it in D drive.


In drawings that has cosmetic sketches, (Cyan in drawing), these sketches are not visible in the plot file..


Any directions to trouble shoot this?


Thanks & Regards

suppose there layers could cause cosmetics plot to fail

that said - check the no of layers which contain the Cosmetics. In this particular example(cyan eges) I assume thread represantation is sonsidered.

So in fact one must check ploting configs(layers) with the regards to quilts and surfaces

take an advantage of Find under Layer(Drawing > Model Tree) menu


hope that helps

Also check to see if the Cosmetic features are on multiple layers.

Another thing to check is the View Properties for the view with the cosmetic sketches. We have found that if the View Display > Display style is set to Shading or Follow Enviroment, cosmetic and datum sketches will not display properly. At least on WF3 releases.
