HARDCOPY

[Ashan]

FIRST I AM NEW TO FORUM BUT I USE MASTERCAM FROM 1994 MAY BE VERSION 4 TO VERSION 9.1

 

NORMALLY CHANGED THE LINEWIDTH TO 5 OR 6

THEN I USED TO PLOT MASTERCAM PART NO PROBLEM UPTO VER 9

IN VER 9.1 I DID SAME BUT THE LINEWIDTH DOES NOT CHANGE

THEN I CHECKED ON SCREEN CONFIGRATION AND IN CAD SETTING

IN HARDCOPY CHANGED THE LINEWIDTH TO 6 STILL THE LINE WIDTH DOES NOT CHANGE PLEASE SOME CAN HELP ME HOW PLOT THE PART

Welcome to the board.

 

Did you try closing MC and then reopen it to allow it to read your new config settings? Just a thought.

Ashan,

 

What O/S are you using? Are you using the Windows printer drivers? When was the last update to the printer drivers? Mastercam's Hardcopy function utilizes the Windows drivers or the drivers supplied from the printer company. Keeping these updated will often solve issues with making hardcopies from Mcam. HTH

Dont know if it helps, but for me, line width only works when shading is turned off for printing (from the Hardcopy menu Shaded....N.) If shading is on then the line width does not work for me. I havent updated my printer drivers in about 2 years, but doing so might help.

I used XP Pro just the other day, and worked fine

I tried it on 98 and 2000 and it did not perform the same.
