Can not create TIFF w/ WF2 under Linux

[jhyder79]

I have a weird problem...

The company I work for is using Pro/E Wildfire 2.0 (M220) with a corporate level configuraiton. For the past several weeks I have been testing the possibility of switching over to Linux by installing WF2 M220 on a Dell M70 laptop running Fedora Core 6. Everything works flawlessly on the laptop except for one little detail...I can not print a drawing to a TIFF file! I am using the same configuration as the Windows XP workstations, but I have modified it slightly to correct file paths for Linux.

FYI, when I go to make the TIFF image, it behaves like everything is working then it stops and prints out a message that says "Error(s) while generating plot(s)".

Am I missing some kind of config option or is tiff file creation missing in the Linux version?

I forgot to mention...

I can create Postscript files and most other plots without a problem.

This works on our Linux systems. We are running Wildfire 3.0 M040. Here is what I did:

1. Open a drawing (exart1234.drw).
2. Select File | Print.
3. Selected TIFF as the printer (I had to add the TIFF printer on my system).
4. Select "To file".
5. Deselect "To printer".
6. Select OK.
7. Select OK again.

We are running Pro/E on CentOS Linux 4, but this is essentially the same as RedHat Enterprise 4. I'll try this on a RedHat system, but that almost certainly not the issue. Could be something in Wildfire 2.0 versus 3.0 though - just guessing.

By the way, we are running 14 seats of Pro/E - all on Linux. (No Windows.) We us Pro/NC for machinining (CAM) on 9 of those seats.
