ProCable / config.pro ProBlem

Greetings Fellow Pros!

In a ProAssembly, using ProCable, I routed 4 cables. They look great
shaded and in HLR on the screen. Color prints and HLR printscreen
images look great as well. But when printing HLR from Pro standard
print interface, from both Assembly and Drawing, the cables appear as
wireframe (while everything non-cable is in perfect hidden line
state). This is using "thick cable" and "fast HLR" settings. I must
be missing something. Config.pro setting not present or not correct?
What gives?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

 

Check your model display state [View/Model Display]. There is a pull down
menu at the bottom called 'Cable HLR'. Make sure it is set to 'Full'.

I find I get the best colour model printing results from ProE by doing a
screen capture [ctrl-print screen] and then pasting into MS Paint, and
printing the bitmap image from there. What you see is what you get.

 

so the "fastHLR" thingy is still buggy in 2001 ?
Like it has been ever since it was invented.

 

I never use Fast HLR because it makes model spinning jerky and hard to
control.

Another tip: always disable silhouette edges whilst spinning to avoid the
same jerky effects.
