Problem

Symptoms: Graphics from PicturePac will not print or view. They worked fine in 5.0. The 5.1 clip arts work fine. The date of his PicturePac is 7-15-88. I have duplicated the problem on PicturePac dated 12-15-88. Also, we have tested PicturePac's dated 3-88, and there is no problem with them. Solutions: When importing graphic images into WP 5.1, the program looks at color information included in the file. If no background color is specified, we default to Intense White. According to the information in this file, the only foreground color used in drawing the image is Intense White; no background color specified. Therefore, WP sees this as Intense White on Intense White. Since the colors match, we assume no need to print since that area of the drawing is already the "color" we designated. Choosing the Invert option in the Graphics Editor will switch the background color and allow the foreground "color" to print and to be viewed. This appears to be the easiest and most effective solution for Vector images, especially if there is only one foreground color. This problem appears to be fairly common with .WPG graphics that were pre-converted with the C=2 switch. This switch often forced most or all foreground colors to Intense White. Other converting options exist using GRAPHCNV with the /C=B or the /B=#switches (refer to your documentation for an explanation of these switches). One of these options may be useful if the customer needs to convert multiple files.
