Problemer med ramme ved save/ Problems, a frame shows up on saved
Hi
Im Creating some symbols and need them to be wery accurate. The problem is that when i save my files, a border shows up and pushes the symbol up. I know that my drawing is precisely 25mm x 25mm, but when i choose pagesetup - pagesize (tab) - Size to fit drawing contents it says that my drawing is 26,6439mm x 27,737mm. How can i change that so the symbol stays exactly 25mmx25mm? Jimmy |

I think what you mean by the border showing up is the paper margins. Does this border come and go when you do menu View - Page Breaks? -- Regards, Paul Herber, Sandrila Ltd. Electrical for Visio http://www.electrical.sandrila.co.uk/ No it dosent... What i ment was that when i have created the symbols in visio precisely as i want them and save them as .emf then i can see, by using an other program to view, that a border has been added to the symbol. |

Ah, right. They are only that size within Visio, once you export to a graphics format then that all changes. EMF format is a non-sized vector format anyway. So, in Visio, select the shape, menu File Save As and select GIF, in the dialog box enter the size information. It still may not work as the image will be based upon pixels rather than mm.

These symbols has to be in vector based graphics and they need to be accurate because the are being placed on a graph. So as you see i really need .emf files. So if i am basing my symbols on pixels it should make a diffenrence? |

How those pixels get converted to a physical dimension is down to the application. Use a graphics editor like PaintShop Pro or even Paint to create a simple 100x100 pixel box and save it in EMF format, see how that appears in your application. That will tell you the scaling you require. -- Regards, Paul Herber, Sandrila Ltd. http://www.electronics-packages.sandrila.co.uk/ |

In line with Pauls observation that if your working with pixels and mm (or
inches under the covers), screen size is usually 72pixels/inch with the new model going to 96pixels/inch. So you've become platform/driver dependent when working with pixels and printer densities get even more interesting. al "Paul Herber" wrote in message ell.net...

It seem to be that when you draw a symbol and it gets to close to the border the application adds a some more. So by scaling the background to 30mmx30mm and leave the symbols to the original size, the dimensions now are correct. So thank you guys for your help Jimmy |
