I did use that -c option as a workaround, but -W was soooooooo convenient especially when generating one image and not scripting. When I get back to the office with someone that has permissions, I will attempt the rtedge.exe swap and let you know if that worked. The reason I will use 7.24 is that 7.26 had an issue when ray-tracing BoT solids. I had some hydraulic line models that were missing segments on the ray-trace even though they were actually there. 7.24 ray-traced them correctly and 7.30 does as well.

The background is properly set to white, but the foreground line color also remains white so you end up with a blank image. I know the -c workaround, but that is a bit inconvenient as I use scripts to generate images meaning I would need to change those. Thank you for the bug report… Would a simple fix be to extract the rtedge.exe file from 7.24 and place it in the 7.30.2 bin directory? Unfortunately, there’s no telling whether simply copying the rtwedge.exe into the directory will work without trying it. I would guess that it probably will as the library interface it relies on has not changed, but that would still be a guess nonetheless. For what it’s worth, you can probably just replace -W with -c"set fg=1,1,1 bg=255,255,255” or similar RGB values and it will work without risk to changing scripting logic. If you rely on the exact RGB values, it was using 255,255,254 and 0,0,1 for fg and bg respectively. Cheers! Sean
