1) Check the PM page for a version that exports lanes to WMF.

2) PDF does not support hatch fills and PdfExporter exports HatchBrushes as bitmap images. However that's not supported yet when the brush is set as path of a Pen. You could temporarily replace the HatchBrush -pen with a dashed one if you need to see non-solid pen in the PDF.

I hope that helps,

Stoyan,

I looked into the issue with the dashed brush.

1) The following code for the pen works fine for the PDF, but not on the screen and the WMF image.

Pen p = new Pen(new SolidBrush(Color.Black), 0);
p.DashStyle = DashStyle.Dash;

This gives a dashedline on the pdf, but a solid line with dashes through it for the image and the screen.

2) This code works fine for the screen and the image, but not on the pdf.

Pen p = new Pen(new SolidBrush(Color.Blue), 0);
p.DashStyle = DashStyle.Dash;            p.DashPattern = new float[]{3,3};

This gives a solid line on the pdf and dashes on the screen and the image.

Hope you also have a solution for this.

Maybe a better description is that it is a dashed line with a shadow.
In my code for example, the image shows black dashes and the space between the dashes is gray.

I hope that this explanation is better then the first one.

Are you able to reproduce the second point?

Marco

Setting SmoothingMode.None is a big improvement. I still see some defects if I enlarge the image, but it is OK for our purpose.

Thank you for the help.
