Re: [femm] Re: savebitmap error

Gary,

Just a suggestion, but try saving the image as a metafile. If that works you can convert it to a bitmap for animation afterwards. It might work well enough to at least do what you want.

I've tried a '95 system and a '98 system, both with the same response.
I've tried turning off all accelerations, but to no avail. The
source for LUA includes this identical error message at least 5 or 6
times, so I can't narrow it down, and I don't have the capability to
recompile.
I'll keep watching to see if it changes, since I'l love to make movies
of the varying fields of my solenoid. I doubt, though, that I'll
"upgrade" my OS to get around this.
