The TIFF format is able to be viewed on Microsoft Windows, Unix and Macintosh without any extra software, so this is a good format for sharing Pro/E drawings with suppliers.  Pro/E is able to create TIFF files using the CALS CCITT Group 4 compression algorithm, which is a very compact method of storing black and white raster images, and which is utilised in fax technology and also in the Adobe Acrobat PDF format, as well as in TIFF.
 

1.	Configure your Pro/ENGINEER to use the CCITTG4 algorithm for TIFF:  Set the config.pro option tiff_compression g4 using 'Utilities > Preferences'.
2.	Select File > Print.
3.	In the 'Print' dialogue box, hit the dropdown button in the 'Destination' section.
4.	Select 'Add Printer type...'
5.	In the 'Add Printer type' dialogue box, scroll down and select 'TIFF'.
6.	Select 'OK' to dismiss the 'Add Printer type' dialogue box.
7.	Returning to the 'Print' dialogue box, check the 'To file' box.
8.	Uncheck the 'To printer' box.
9.	Select 'OK' to dismiss the 'Print' dialogue box.
10.	In the 'Print to File' dialogue box, select one of 'Create Single File', 'Create Seperate Files' or 'Append to File' as required.
11.	Set the filename as required.  Change the file extension from .plt to .tif if necessary.  (NB. if you set the config.pro option plot_names yes then Pro/E will automatically set the file extension to .tif)
12.	Select 'OK' to dismiss the 'Print to File' dialogue box.
13.	The TIFF file(s) will be created in your current working directory.
	N.B. The quality of the image is determined by the resolution (this is 100 dpi by default, and can be set by the config.pro option raster_plot_dpi - I would recommend 200 dpi or more) and by the pen weights (set by the pen table file [pnt] - the default is table.pnt, but the pnt file to be used is set by your printer configuration file [pcf]).
