Description
When defining a plot task, this tag defines plot macros to be displayed in the
Color Option picklist. If the default value should not be the first <ChoiceValue>, define it on the opening <PlotMacro> tag. Multiple <ChoiceValue> entries are allowed.
The plot task supports the following macros:
• Standard (Plot_default_transformation)
The default plot transformation maps all linetypes of any width to a specific color. For more information on default settings, see the Creo Elements/Direct Drafting / Creo Elements/Direct 2D Access Program Reference Guide.
• Black and White (Plot_black_and_white)
Suitable for output to a black and white device. All line colors are mapped to black, but given different widths based on color.
• True Color (Plot_true_color)
Suitable for output to color printers. No transformation is done and TRUE_COLOR_PLOTTING is enabled.
• Pen Color (Plot_pen_color)
Suitable for output to pen plotters. All colors are mapped to one of eight pen colors. White elements are mapped to black.
• Custom (Js_plot_custom_transformation)
This is where you would register a custom macro. Custom defaults to Standard.
If you specify a default value, Creo Elements/Direct Model Manager/Creo Elements/Direct Drawing Manager uses the <DisplayName> from the <ChoiceValue> setting (if one exists).
