Question

Scaling an image won't save

I have FrameMaker Version 17.0.1.305.   I can save text changes to XML files.  When I try to scale an image, the image size will change, and I can save and close.   Everything seems fine.  When I re-open the file, however, the scaling changes I made are not there.  It's like I never changed the image size.  I don't understand it.  Please help.  Thanks!

How are you scaling? Are you using the Object Properties dialog box to change scale percent, dpi, or height or width? When you scale, are any scaling attributes added to the image in the structure view?

I go to the Object Properties box and change the Scaling percentage.  I'll have to see if it changes the attributes.  I don't know yet.  Thanks for the reply.

Structured or unstructured FM? Are adding images by reference or copying?

Structured.  Images are not copied.  They are linked to their file locations.

Might this be a setting in the edd? Is there perhaps an object style on the graphic? ...

Are your other changes being saved?

Yes.  Text changes save fine.
