Is there a defualt pen table file for plotting or do I need to create one from scratch? Maybe someone could post an existing table to use as a reference.
the default pen mapping is always used unless another pen mapping file has been created and Pro/ENGINEER has been configured to use it. to specify the default pen mapping, simply remove any reference to pen table files from the config.pro and PCF files, and remove any file named table.pnt from all working directories.
settings in the configuration file are numerous, for instance if ur plotter supports eight plotter pens, and u want to use them for plotting, set the configuration file option use_8_plotter_pens to yes...
ucan also use a plotter configuration file (filename.pcf)
I finally got a good plot with the desired line weightswith a large format HP plotterusing the following results.
! white entities (object lines)
pen 1 thickness .02 in; drawing_color; color 0.0 0.0 0.0;<?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" />

pen 2 thickness .016 in; letter_color; color 0.0 0.0 0.0;
