C6 vs C11 Report Editor - Problem with Boxes?

Nicely done on posting your source.

I think the problem is the LINEWIDTH(30) on a LINE and many BOX’s:

Report30box REPORT,AT(125,200,8365,10600),FONT('Arial',10,,FONT:regular,CHARSET:ANSI),PRE(RPT),PAPER(PAPER:A4),THOUS
          HEADER,AT(125,177,8365,0),USE(?HEADER1)
          END
detail    DETAIL,AT(21,0,8198,10000),USE(?detail)
            STRING('Application for Texas Title and/or Registration'),AT(1167,-8,5525,258), |
              USE(?String51),FONT('Arial',14,,FONT:bold),CENTER,TRN
 BOX, AT( 146, 240,7948, 625),USE(?Box22:10),COLOR(COLOR:Black),LINEWIDTH(30)
 BOX, AT( 146, 865,7948, 719),USE(?Box22:9),COLOR(COLOR:Black),LINEWIDTH(30)
 BOX, AT( 146,1594,7948,3698),USE(?Box22:8),COLOR(COLOR:Black),LINEWIDTH(30)
 BOX, AT( 146,5271,7948, 719),USE(?Box22:4),COLOR(COLOR:Black),LINEWIDTH(30)
 BOX, AT( 146,5979,7948, 750),USE(?Box22:7),COLOR(COLOR:Black),LINEWIDTH(30)
 BOX, AT( 146,6719,7948,1563),USE(?Box20:5),COLOR(COLOR:Black),LINEWIDTH(30)
 BOX, AT( 146,8260,7948,1552),USE(?Box20:8),COLOR(COLOR:Black),LINEWIDTH(30)
 LINE,AT(5448, 240,   0, 650),USE(?Line27:15),COLOR(COLOR:Black),LINEWIDTH(30)             
          END           
        END
    END

If you change those to LINEWIDTH(01) it looks better, maybe thin, you must see what looks best printed on paper and/or as a PDF:

Below all the (30) changed to LineWidth(01) looks better IMO. At (02) looks ok also, but a bit fat, must see on paper and PDF .

The new report designer does not seem to display TRN correctly. You see STRING’s that are TRN blocking out lines. They will be right at print time as show in the preview below. I don’t see a way in the designer to handle transparency correctly.

I showed some of this on Clarion Live connect today.
