Pro/E to MS Word

[nigel42]

Can anyone suggest a good method of transfering 2d black on white images from proe to Word. The method i currently use is to output in tiff format convert to jpeg and insert the image into word, this works quite well but the quality isn't very good, does anyone have a better way, i'm running 2000i2 on SGI.

I usually just take a screenshot of the Pro/E window, crop in an image editor & paste into Word.



It can help to have smoothing switched on:

View > Display Settings > Model Display - second tab > Edge/Line > Smooth lines.

I'm running Proe on an SGI box and Word on a PC, so, unfortunatly i can't cut and paste between applications.

just export the TIFF from Pro & then import the TIFF into word. skip the JPEG translation.

Do you have no image editor programs on the SGI?

How about trying the OLE appln of Word. Go to Insert >Object

In object type select the particular PTC drawing or part file to insert.!!!!!!!!!!

Roshan:



I can't use the OLE function with proe, (different platform) but i do have AutoCAD installed, i'll try outputing the drawings as DWG format and use insert object.

OLE application of MS Word works well and Pro E can be started from within Word. I agree with Roshan
