For example, put Z4WL into Draw and ungroup, change the external most frame line in both blocks from 1mm to 2mm. Regroup as per article, bring corner block to the front, Save to Ov... Borders as "Z4WL2". (That'll make it last in the Frame dialogue list). Run OvPro and apply the border to a frame (8-10mm). Here everything is still positioned correctly but the corner block external lines are displayed thinner... Ooer! However, if you now print that frame out, you'll find the lines are in fact all correct. I experimented with the lines and proved to myself it was the OvPro display of the border that was the problem and not the Border file itself. Interestingly, When using border Z4LW2, if the width in the OvPro frame dialogue is increased to 20mm the display artifact goes away. So if you are interested in playing with borders in OvPro, I'd suggest printing out your creation from OvPro if it looks dodgy, before dumping it. Obviously there are some failures that are obvious... I had one yesterday when I accidentally grouped the two element blocks together before saving... Ooer! biggy distortion. (See article, The length/width grouped elements should not be grouped with the corner grouped elements.) Dave -- Dave Triffid To unsubscribe or subscribe goto: //www.freelists.org/list/davidpilling
