Problem

Symptoms: A customer is importing a .CGM file from Lotus Freelance 3.01. The graphic views correctly, but when printing, portions of the graphic have been changed. Some of the problems include dashed lines become solid, solid lines become dashed, some letter e's print with the tail missing, some question marks print with the dot missing, etc. This happens with different graphic images.

Another customer had a line chart and the markers for data points on the line are incorrect. The circles and diamonds are open; they should be closed. Solutions: In WP, a line type definition is 1 for solid, 3 for small dash, and (-1) for long dash. Round markers are defined as type -1, so WP is converting them correctly. The conversion has added a private code (-1) that WP has no idea how to interpret. CorelDRAW shows the same picture as WP, but Freelance shows the lines as solid. The differences between Freelance CGM files and ANSI CGM files are being looked at by Development.
