When printing maps with highway shields, select the options that allow you to print raster graphics and to print true type fonts as graphics. If the background map is showing through the shields, then any of the following could be the problem:
- You don't have the correct two layers.
- Your layers are in the wrong order.
- The printer driver isn’t configured properly.
Note: Additionally, we have found that Windows’ bolding looks better than Monotype
Century Gothic Bold weight font. If you are an experienced user, you may want to
uninstall the bold weight fonts and take a look at the results.
In order to ensure that the Shields are positioned and labeled correctly, it is recommended that you open a Highway Shields layer via:
- The Autoloader
- The provided workspaces.
Once you open a HighwayShields layer correctly, it acts like any other StreetPro
layer allowing, you can add or move objects to it, or delete objects from it.
Note: For
the best results, be sure to place the Highway Shields layer above the
Highways layer.
