Bug with Arrowhead and/or PDF?

[jclements]

Using 96 draft quality when exporting to PDF, arrowhead (a hollow diamond) displays as filled in the PDF.

Anyone else see similar results?

Hiya.

I wish I had some words of wisdom for you but unfortunately I get the same results.

I have tried different pdf output options but I still get the same results.

Weird...

I made an arrowhead (the first one) with a transparent square with an outline and of course that exports as expected.
Not much help but I thought I would see what happened?

I can also confirm that the same thing happens here. The only work around I can think of at the moment is to create your own diamond head and group it with your line. Not much help I know

Thanks for the confirmation Frances!
I did that in my post!

When you export to pdf, xara lines are converted to shape

So to test, convert your line to shape in your document, you will see the same thing happens: the diamond 'fills in' - and it will not break shape

That is not what you might expect - agreed

This is nothing new. I have seen this behavior in previous versions as well. It's not helpful, but I thought you might want to know.

fair enough Eric - I guess the diamond is being treated as part of the outline itself, and therefore when converted to shape it is solid
