Re: OT: WMF drawings from Docutech 135PS have thin and missing lines

[eric.dunn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Not to take issue with DOV, but:

Did you check the line width setting? We use WMFs and CGMs created from
illustrations in AutoCAD.

At first all seemed fine, until we printed and many line were too faint.
Investigation showed that the AutoCAD drawings were not using any line weights
for many line types. So effectively these lines were zero width. Looked fine on
screen (1 pixel line width), looked acceptable in drafts off office laser
printers (1/300" or 1/600 line width), started to disappear on final print
(Docutech 1/1200" or 1/2400" line width). The "write white" issue was evident as
the lines were faint and "ghosting". But, giving all the lines line weights
removed all discernable problems.
