Hi :) Hmm, i hadn't thought about that. I guess Draw is probably treated differently from word-processing.
Typically office workers will open some old document and then just delete everything visible and then start writing a new document in there. I have found documents with non-printing characters and even empty tables and stuff. One had been created on a Mac using something other than MS Office. Most have a lot of 'personal' info such as name and company address that are clearly nothing to do with my workplace. It wouldn't surprise me to find 'new' documents that could be traced back to the documents origins in Win95. I kinda imagined people would similarly open an old word-processed document and then "Save As.." to get it as a odg and then delete a few things and add drawings. I guess that with Draw people might do the hugely complicated File - New instead.

I have only made a few drawings, and fairly simple ones at that. So starting over is not hard. However, it was a jolt to receive a batch of printed potting shells with the image scaled incorrectly. Fortunately, not enough to be unusable. I hope there aren't other users out there that have many drawings that will need to be done over. OpenOffice had a problem (bug #114901) a couple of years ago where it started mishandling Adobe Type 1 fonts. The simpler solution was to convert them to TrueType fonts. I can't even find that bug now. And so it goes. Even though Draw is a fairly simple program, it has the ability to expand or condense the spacing between characters, and pair kerning. I condensed the spacing with the "990" part of the drawing for a tighter look. DesignCAD 3D Max V21 cannot do that. I will verify future drawings before submitting them for production.
