Problems when exporting Diagrams as pics
« on: April 30, 2002, 10:52:22 am »
I don't know if this has happened to anyone else but when I I copy packages to the clipboard (or when I export them as files) the little folder and package icons get messed up badly. It seems to be slightly better when I export as BMP but it's nevertheless far from perfect.

Are there any workarounds? I mainly paste these pics into Word but I've also tried pasting/opening the pics in Paint Shop Pro and the result is the same.

Thanks

The package views are unuseable when exported. It would be good if the folder/class icons could be disabled in the options. I know it is possible to hide the package contents but I really like this view as it is - just fix those icons please  ;)

BMP and GIF: Red lines in the right hand corner of the folder icons

WMF fine. Word prints all the icons upside down (not the packages though).

EMF icons are black and yellow - unreadable.

WMF seems to be the best option for me at the moment although I'm curious why Word turns the icons upside down.

Hope this helps fixing the error.

Hi,

Ive checked this out - and it seemed to happen in Windows XP ... anything I generated in Win2k looked OK in Word 97 and other image tools on Win2K - but when viewed on XP it was a mess.

I have changed the rendering code for these icons and it now seems to be OK on both operating systems plus Win98. I have checked each image format on each OS and all seem OK.

These changes are in the next update - due out tomorrow (Tuesday 7th) - build 487. When you get a chance give the update a try.

Cheers,
Geoff Sparks
