John,

Thanks for the information, however, changing the "optcgm.prf" file did
not correct the problem. I don't think the problem is with the cgm; I
can get the cgm to print correctly at other locations in the document
AND when the anchored frame is increase in size to full page; the cgm
won't pring the lines when the frame is partial page.

One other thing I have tried: I went into IsoDraw, chose a line weight
of 0.016 (twice the width of the lines I'm trying to print) and crossed
out and lined through the text in the graphic (the text that prints
every time, hardcopy and pdf). I then exported the cgm out of IsoDraw,
imported the cgm into Frame by reference into the text file, and with
the anchored frame at partial page, when I make a pdf or print a hard
copy, I can see the "crossed out" lines over the text, but they're not
black lines, they're white lines.

Then, once again, if I increase the anchored frame size to full-page,
the lines in the graphic print black in both pdf and hardcopy. 

It's as though shrinking the frame to less than full page somehow masks
the lines in the graphic but not the text?

Regards,

Jeffrey Casher

Jeffrey,

I don't know if this will help your problem, but with every version of
FrameMaker since 5.5.6, I've had to modify the CGM import settings file
to
make CGM work right. It might be worth checking.

In the Program Files\Adobe\FrameMaker7.0\filters folder (or the
"filters"
folder wherever you have Frame installed), there is a text file named
"optcgm.prf" that you can edit. There is a single line in the file (line
92)
that comes out the box reading:

    CGM_Background: USE

I change that to read:

    CGM_Background: IGNORE_BW

There is another option (IGNORE) which would probably work just as well,
but
I never needed to try it.

Frame only reads the file at startup, so you need to restart Frame after
the
change.

I hope it helps you; I'm sorry that I don't have any other ideas.

Subject: partial page graphic lines won't print - RESEND

Hello framers,



I sent this email to the framers list on Wednesday and only received one
response. Does anybody have any other suggestions on how I might get the
lines in my partial page graphic to print? 





I'm working with Frame 7.0 in a structured document. I have two graphics
in the document. The first is a single-sheet, half-page graphic,
followed by a four-sheet graphic. The first three sheets (of the
four-sheet graphic) are full-page graphics, the fourth sheet is a
half-page graphic. It is this fourth sheet that I'm having the problems
with.



All the graphics (cgm's) are imported by reference into anchored frames.
The three full-page graphics print fine (both hard copy and pdf), but
when I print the fourth sheet (partial page graphic), only the text
that's in the graphic gets printed; the lines in the graphic do not
print.



Here are some of the things I've tried:



I deleted the fourth sheet graphic from the anchored frame, and imported
the half-page graphic from the first illustration in the document; both
text and lines printed fine.



I deleted the half-page graphic from the first illustration and imported
the fourth sheet partial-page graphic; both text and lines printed fine.



I deleted the Fsheet element, the Image element and re-inserted the into
the document. I've re-exported the cgm from the IsoDraw program that I
used to create the graphic; I opened the cgm in IsoDraw and re-exported
that as a cgm; I opened the .iso file of the first illustration graphic,
saved it as a separate document, inserted the lines and text from the
problem graphic, exported that as cgm, imported into Frame document and
tried to print that, all to no avail.



But all that pales in comparison to this: When I put the problem graphic
in it's assigned place in the document and then select the anchored
frame and drag the bottom line of the frame to make the frame full-page,
with the title and figure number lines as the last two lines of text on
the page, the graphic prints (hardcopy and pdf) just fine. If I then
change the depth of the frame to allow any text at all on the page, the
lines in the graphic won't print, but the text in the graphic does
print.



I've also compared the object properties of the problem frame/graphic
with the others in the document, and I can't see any difference in the
properties.



If anyone has any helpful suggestions, I'd be grateful for any
assistance.



Jeffrey Casher
