Hi, Though I uncheck PLIs at the Global tab in the Generate section and add a line 0 LPUB PAGE PLI NO in my LDraw file, LPub keeps drawing PLI's in the Layout or give an error: Operations cancelled. How do I generate layouts without PLI's? Jaco (19 years ago, 9-Jun-05, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Unfortunately, that doesn't help. It still blends, which means that if (for instance) your edge is red, and you have a pixel that's 50% covered via antialiasing, then that pixel comes out dark red (50% red + 50% black = dark red) with 50% (...) (19 years ago, 9-Jun-05, to lugnet.cad)
