color problem on screen and in print ! After some initial trouble with custom symbols I found a suitable workflow.
But the problem remained, that suddenly color inconsitencies occur on screen and on printed map what makes symbol use partly unpredictable:
Noticed 2 situations: a) symbol in black; - most of the symbols are black on the screen and in print (independently from polygon fill color on top of which the symbol is placed) - but a few change color to lila, or blue or brown if placed over different polygon fills - in one case part of the symbol is black, but part of the symbol changes to green - in another case a polygon fill pattern in a layer below the topmost symbol layer obscures the symbol
b) symbol in green: - in one place the symbol is green on screen and in print but another place that symbol is black on screen but green in print (in both cases placed over an red polygon fill)
In the symbol set all custom symbols look ok. In all cases the symbol layer is the top layer !
Quite a lot of trouble isn't ? Any idea what can be done ?
I use the MM release from dec-2009 on win2000 SP4 with net 2.0 on a dual core PC with Nvidia graphic card and an NEC LCD-monitor.
