hi, thanks a lot for your answer. I made some changes in the settings and tried it again, it's working, but it remains working with the old settings now. perhaps I was just expecting too much from the difference of line thickness of 1 and 0.5, but if I watch carefully to it, there is an explicit difference between maps print in 1 and 0.1 thickness. perhaps I was just blind or confused...<br>
<br>thank you! <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2010/1/21 Simon Cropper (Botanicus Australia Pty Ltd) <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:scropper@botanicusaustralia.com.au">scropper@botanicusaustralia.com.au</a>></span><br>

<br>
So if I understand your problem... You can view a line geometry on the<br>
screen, superimposed on a DEM, at what appears to be the correct size<br>
but when you print it to postscript it is too thick.<br>
<br>
There are too avenues you can investigate here. The first is check what<br>
you map is setup to show -- look at the settings in the 'cartography'<br>
section of your preferences and change the values to see how they<br>
influence the output. The second option is change your output from<br>
PS/PDF to an image. I have successfully used ImagePrinter to<br>
export/print to a JPG with much better results than working through<br>
postscript files. Not sure why this occurs as both systems are based on<br>
the same libraries but it does.<br>
