mdilday Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 How do I change the end of a line from a rounded end to a square end? Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 I think (but am not certain) this an OS-specific phenomenon. What OS do you use? I am using Mac OS 10.3 and my lines all have square ends... Quote Link to comment
MikeB Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 PC's have round pens, Mac's have square. Its an OS thing. Quote Link to comment
mdilday Posted March 10, 2005 Author Share Posted March 10, 2005 I am using win2k but a coworker is using a MAC computer,not sure the os of the MAC. The MAC gives square ends and the PC gives round ends. Why is this different, this should be the same no matter what machine a person is using? Quote Link to comment
MikeB Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 I remember a thread about this from along time ago. It's been this way for as long as I've been using VW(MC 7ish). It has to do with how the OS renders vector information. Mac's and PC's just handle this information differently. Even stranger, if you print from a Mac using a postscript printer you will get round ends. Or at least it used to be this way. Quote Link to comment
