Thanks in advance > > Giovanni Lanzani > This problem came up with version 6 for graphics rendered using GraphicsComplex. It has been discussed in this group. The best solution is to use File->PrintSelection. In the printer menu chose "save" to print to a pdf. The drawback is, the picture takes a whole page, so you have to open it in a graphics program like GraphicsConverter (on Mac) to adjust the region. -- _________________________________________________________________ Peter Breitfeld, Bad Saulgau, Germany -- http://www.pBreitfeld.de
