Hi Mike,

when using a custom fill pattern to fill an area, the screen display is correct and shows exactly the original pattern, regardless of the zoom factor. But when I print what is displayed on the screen, the pattern is so small that it is undecipherable. Is it possible to control how custom fill patterns are printed?

Thanks,

TeeGee

    TeeGee,

    There is not currently any way to scale the custom fill patterns in Global Mapper. You would need to either use a larger fill pattern or print to a lower DPI to get your custom fill patterns to be larger.

    Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

    Thanks,

    Thanks Mike,

    I'll follow your suggestions, but I think it would be useful to add this feature in a future release of GM. This ability to control the scale when printing patterns exist in Strater that I use for my well logs, and it greatly simplifies the work !

    Thanks,

    I agree this would be useful. It is already on our todo list.
