Hi!

I have exported my diagram to an emf-file. Most of the objects in the diagram are transparent boxes with shapes consisting of decoration lines and ellipses. When loading the emf-file into another program, e.g. MS Word, and resizing it, some of the objects get thinner lines than others although they have been created in a similar way. I have both printed the result and created a PDF-file so the problem is not due to MS Word.

Further investigation has shown that it is objects which have been rotated which get thinner lines when resized.


Do you know the reason for this?

Hi Stoyan

Yes, I agree with you but all croping and resizing in MS Word has been done with maintained width/height ratio. Also, when resizing lines which are all e.g. vertical, these lines behave differently i.e. some get a different line thickness than others.
To be completly sure that this is not due to MS Word, I think I will need to find a picture editor which can manipulate emf-files and try resizing here. Finding such an editor has proved harder than expected since most editors convert the vector graphic emf-file to a bitmap representation when loading it. I need an editor which handles emf-files as vector graphics.

Do you know of such an editor?

Hi Stoyan

OK, I guess I will have to accept this when working with EMF-files. I might have to choose the size of the picture depending on the looks as a work-around.

Thank you very much for your help.
