Contour Region Tool. Contours not showing on export to .jpg

Post by skc » Sat Apr 23, 2022 11:14 am

When I export as .jpg, bmp, or png and and at 300dpi the contours created by the Contour Region Tool do not show. Is there something I am doing wrong or is this a bug in the software?

The hill in middle of attached map is what I mean. (had to export this as a LQ .png to get this post to accept it, but even at 300dpi BMP,JPG it does the same. No contours!

So far the only way around it is to do a 'Print Screen", paste in a Doc file and then move it across as jpg. A "work around" but not ideal.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, that is definitely a bug. Thank you for letting us know! I've been trying to recreate it and haven't been able to yet. Could you tell me which OS you're using and what the contour region properties are?

All the Contour Regions properties boxes are ticked. As there's quite a lot of detail and not sure what you need, have rather attached the File if you perhaps would like to open and take a look on your side. O/S is Win10. (some of the Features are 3rd party so probably not show your side.)

Thank you.

Perfect! I was able to replicate it immediately and the soft edge is what's breaking the export. We'll have it fixed in the next release. Thank you and please let us know if you have any other questions or problems!

Great to hear Katie. I see what you mean. (You guys certainly move in mysterious realms which are beyond me. i.e. within the innards of all this software!;) Anyway have sent it to the Group already via PrnScrn but look forward to your future updates.
Thanks for your prompt response and for providing us with such nice software.
