Printing problem

**Peter Prewett** · 10 July 2007, 11:01 PM

I am using pro version 3.02 and when printing a document extra areas have been added has anyone else experienced this problem?
I have dissected the object and they certainly not their.
I was going to attach a file but it is 100K and thought it may not be acceptable for the forum.

Hi Peter,

Please attach the file so we can help find the problem. 100K isn't too large.

Hi Peter,

What I usually do when I run into things like this is...

1. Turn on one layer at a time...

2. then select all the objects on the layer with Cntrl-A.

3. Then I just deselect what I know should be there.

4. Then I just delete the rest of the garbage on the layer.

5. If I happen to delete something that is important there is the undo button. (more commonly called the oh-__it button... Cause that is what you usually say before you press it)

Peter the problem was in the two lines along the bottom of the group.

I removed the fill color and it prints without the over lapping fill color.

You can also move the lines to the back so the other shapes over the top edges of the lines.

Thanks very much for help.

Interesting that it is not print what you see!!

Is their a print preview option available?

Now to improve document which is for a model of Tumuts railway turntable for a model train exhibition layout.

Unfortunately there is no print preview.

The attached shows how the lines print when ungrouped from the other shapes.

Is there an explanation why there is a difference between the line that is shown on the screen and what gets printed?

This appears to be a bug.

It does appear to be a bug. I've never seen this happen before.

Interesting bug. It only seems to work on lines with non-flat fills. Solid fills don't print but linear fills do, which they shouldn't of course.

Attached a screen grab of the Xtreme page next to a Macromedia FlashPaper which I use for print previews. I can confirm that the the page prints as shown in the FlashPaper.

It must be an old bug because I can reproduce it in XaraX.
