Sorry Richard,
I left this conversation hanging. Did you manage to package your workspace?
I don't need all your tables. If I just could get your workspace, I can have a look if the frames have the same width

Hi Peter - many thanks - I did actually log a support call and they suggested I package my workspace. However I am having trouble with the Packaging tool - it is saying I can't do it since one or more of the tables have the same name but I can't seem to resolve it as none of the tables actually have the same name. So I am unsure how to zip the workspace atm!

Sure, just zip it and attach it to a post here, or send it to peter.moller@precisely.com.

Hi - thanks for offering to help, Peter. Sorry for late reply but it wouldn't let me sign in for some reason to edit this post! Would it be possible for me to send you the Workspace still? As I am still having some trouble with it unfortunately!

It looks like the line of the main frame and the frame for the legends doesn't have the same line width as the inset maps.
Is that correct?
Can you maybe share your workspace file? Just the file. I don't need the tables.

Hi Peter , thanks for the message - I have changed the pixels into points on the layout window but it still won't keep the frame lines - it only keeps all the inset frame lines when I zoom in to 29% zoom as it is on A1 page size which is no good unfortunately.

Hi Richard
Make sure you don't snap the main frame to the margin. The border of the frame is drawn outside the frame so you will need to leave some space between the frame and the margin for the border to be drawn.
You can snap it to the frame but then via the Frame Properties dialog, change the values by for example subtracting a few mm from the X and the Y and more from the Width and the Height.

Hi,
That's really good your one! That's what I'm aiming to get. Ok btw with the main frame - how do you get that one to come out like yours? did you create an additional frame just inside the original Layout map window?

Hi
I tried creating a few inset maps and set the style to use a 2 point wide border line. That seems to work fine when I open it in Adobe Acrobat and zoom in and out. Even setting the zoom to values like 23%. The lines all look fine.
I made sure all the frames were using this line width.
I also tried creating the PDF in 600dpi as well as 150dpi. That didn't seem to matter much.
Have a look at the attached PDF and let me know if it also looks fine for you.

Hi Peter,
Many thanks for your reply - it has worked for the first inset frame (bottom left of this image attached) but for the others it still not working so if there was any other way you can think of to try to resolve it? I have been making sure the frames line up with the layout also but just can't seem to make this part work.

Hi Richard
In the layout, select you frame and right-click on it. Now select Frame Properties.
In the Frame Properties dialog, click on the Style button.
In the Region Style dialog change the Border Width option to Points and set the line width.
Finally, save the layout to a PDF again.

Hi Peter,
How do I go about that please? I am still having difficulty with this. It will only let me view the inset frames at a very zoomed in level atm.

Does it make a difference if you set the line width in points instead of pixels?

Yes that's right - I can't understand it though because on the layout window I do match up the frame borders so it aligns correctly with the overall Frame layout so on the layout page it looks OK then as soon as you do Print as PDF then the frame disappears at different zoom levels which is no good..!

I experience the same issue, though given the challenges with producing PDFs over the last 10 years, I thought this was simply another issue that can't be resolved. Where it's imperative for the frame to appear at a full page zoom, I have chosen to increase the thickness of the frame borders. Of course, this is not the ideal solution, given it makes the frames more prominent than necessary when zooming into the image.

Hi All,
I am using MapInfo Pro 17.4.
I am trying to create new layouts however when I insert numerous Frames onto the Layout Window when I print via PDF at A4 size - the Frame border disappears especially when zooming in / out - I can't understand how to fix this because on the Layout window the frames are all located within the border?
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks
Richard
