printing with stippled shapes or patterns

Ejlersen

Hi

I'm currently doing a large revision of my PDF generation utility but have run in to a number of challenges.

By default placebounds are shown as stippled - however doing plot makes them filled instead of stippled.

I've tried putting patterns on them as well, but the patterns does not look nice - they seems to look stribed.

Have anyone experimented with this and have any tips to share. I've also tried playing with the transparency settings to dimm the placebound shapes - but that did not help

 

Best regards

Ole

    Hi Ole,

    I don't have a solution for you because I long ago gave up on the idea of using the Allegro tools to produce assembly drawings.

    An alternative that is available to Skill writers is to use the power of SVG and XSL FOP to produce really smart drawings out of Allegro. There's a steep learning curve but using this opens a whole new world to you. I can give you a few hints, some examples and some starting routines if you are interested.

    Cheers,

    Dave
