History

#1 Updated by luca76 - about 14 years ago

change the 2. step with this:

2. assign a SVG symbol to it with a size based by map-unit

#2 Updated by michele zanolli about 14 years ago

As you can see in the attachments only the red labels (numbers) are correctly scaled. The other symbols and the label of the line are wrong.

#3 Updated by Alex Mandel almost 14 years ago

I agree this should be tackled but I don't think this should hold up a new release if not solved.

#4 Updated by Martin Dobias almost 14 years ago

Umm, I'm unable to replicate.

Is that new symbology or old symbology or both?

Does that happen only with SVG symbols with size in map units or also in other combinations? (simple marker / font marker, millimeters)

Does the problem exists in PDF export, in raster export - or in both? It seems that trapanator refers to PDF export, while zanollim refers to raster export.

Martin,

Because I need rotation of the symbols by a layer attribute, currently I am using the old symbology.

Yes, the problem occurs:

with SVG symbols

with size in map units (and not in pixel)

in PDF export and raster export

this is already available in new symbology

yes, but only for unique value symbology. For categorized and graduated values, the option doesn't exists.
