They would rather their own .AI format was universal, but the open standard got adopted instead. I don’t know why they bother with PostScript, though, given that nobody uses it any more. Shouldn’t they be doing PDF instead? > Lawrence D’Oliveiro <ldo@nz.invalid> wrote: >> >> I just tried, and no they don’t.

I used the same version. Lined up the sides of the 10mm square on the “50” and “60” points on the top ruler. The control points stay in exactly the same position as the line thickness changes.
