Question

Graphic Frame has black line running around it

Hello ,

I have just opened an old (FM12) file in FM13 and all the Graphic Frames have a black border set around them.

All the settings are set to 'None'.

The only workout at the moment is to set the frames to white, but I don't fancy doing this over a few hundred files.

Any ideas?

When you save it out as MIF, what's in the <AFrames section for:
<Pen ##>
## should be 0 for invisible frame borders.

It looks like <ObColor is typically "Black", even for invisible frame borders and
<PenWidth cannot be set to 0.0 pt.

Correct!

<Pen ##> is set to 15.

Can this be sorted outside mif then?

re: Can this be sorted outside mif then?

I'm wondering where and when that pen is getting set to 15. If you still have FM12, you might try saving to MIF there and see.

Use caution if it gets to MIF mucking. The <Pen ##> tag may be used in many more places for other things. Constrain any batch changes to the <AFrames block.
