Hello

I am evaluating ConceptDraw.

In order to create small library symbols I should be able to draw filled circles smaller than 0.2 cm in diameter that look like a circle when printed.

This afternoon I tried it several times without any success. I used the Ellipse Tool and the Inspector's Geometry. I tried to make it with special text characters too, but this didn't work either.

Did I make something wrong or is there a limitation in ConceptDraw that a I have passed?

Yours,

Norbert

I do have a trail version of ConceptDraw VII in action and drew some circles:

As you could imagine (should have grabed 2 number at each ruler) the circles are 0.1 mm in diameter (radius 0.05 mm) in filled and unfilled. Everything looks normal and good to me. I can not print - have not registered jet - but it should look good even when it is printed... it is vector graphics...

Even the circle with conector looks good. Do I miss the problem?

Hello Gerhard

Many thanks for your prompt reply.

Please, have a look at the following image. I hope, it will make my problem clearer.




When I make a symbol the circles become squares or eggs. The same happens with the small circles, when I print the page. Please, take into account that the page is scaled to 400 %, but even here you can see on the screen that the small circles are not exactly round.
