What version are you using; just so I know where we are starting from. > 1) When I print a map, the preview page has lables on layers such as > roadnames on roads. However, when it is sent to the printer, these lables > are not printed. This may be a mistake; if you look closely you may see the labels are printed using the correct number of pixels - that is very very small. This is a problem that was fixed on the development branch of uDig... > 2) When I print a map, it opens up a preview window called "page+map". This is not a preview; it is a new document in your project called a page. You can print this page multiple times; and you can open up the embeded Map in order to change the location being printed; or toggle on and off a couple of layers. On the development branch of uDig there is the option to directly print a Map; rather then create a page based on a Map. > If I close uDig and reopen it, i will then have 2 coppies of my map and a > copy > of this "page+map" window. Each time I print, I get an extra map and another > "page+map". The functionality you describe should be known as "new page" - it asks for a template; produces a new page based around a copy of the map. You can work on this modified version of the Map by choosing it in the projects view. Project +- MapA <-- origional +- PageA <-- page \-- MapA <-- map being printed > Is anyone aware of these issues and is there anything I can do about them? I am trying to establish if you are seeing: - bugs; or - a workflow that is not clearly documented Jody _______________________________________________ User-friendly Desktop Internet GIS (uDig) http://udig.refractions.net http://lists.refractions.net/mailman/listinfo/udig-devel
