Zone outline

[Bruce]

What's the trick to getting the zone outline to display? I've turned on the outline button as described in the online help, but it won't show or print.

It will show if the selection is hilited, but once it's deselected...nada.

Any ideas?

More to the point John, GS shouldn't have changed things that were known, that were simple to understand in the begining.
I'm still having to check myself when talking about such things.

And insult to injury they hide them deeper in the menu structure.

I can understand why they did it (the options keep expanding and it was appropriate to separate the screen display options from those that affect output), but the implementation leaves a bit to be desired. The menu item "Model View Options" doesn't exactly scream "these set your up your views for printed output."

Perhaps the simplest solution would be to call them "Display Options" and "View Options". The meanings still aren't definitive but they would be easier to get accustomed to.
