[Pro] Graphic Image Problem

I’ve been trying to import graphic items into a layout and they look fine until I preview the page and they fly off the left hand side of the layout. What do I need to do to keep them on the page layout?

Thanks - Bob

Sorry, I meant to say specifically - graphic items that I have rotated after importing.

hi, you can export the rotated graphic item, save as .png or something else and re-import it into freeway. Then it holds its position in the document.

What version of Freeway are you using? This sounds like something I read on release notes for one of the latest versions of Freeway 5.5, with the idea being that this was a bug that has been fixed.

I use FW 5.6.5 (6418). Just tested again: the offset is to be seen here: http://www.tide-sign.de/rpd_inline_test/testdrehung.html

The white block “Test” should be centered in the white strip in the middle of the page.

Thanks for the replies. I got that worked out. Now I have another transparency issue. I’m trying to do a transparent background on graphic text items. Again, selecting it as a PNG I can make it happen according to the manual but moving to preview or preview in browser nullifies the transparency. I have been through the manual but can’t find any explanation of why this does not work. Any suggestions?

draw a graphic box in Freeway - import your .png into it - select the box and look the inspector, under the 3. tab choose png and set the colours to millions. ready.

Millions of colors did the trick. Thanks Thomas!
