editing metafiles

1 New Member
I am writing a program that will display a small blueprint that i have already drawn. It is a metafile, but the format isnt really an issue..It can be any format if I need to switch it to something else to get this to work. Anyway, the print will display in a picturebox. Overlayed onto it, are several textboxes that the user can type in sizes, click enter and the textbox disappears with the text itself remaining on the picturebox. No problem there. My question is,how do I save that for printing later on. If I assign the image property to the picture property and SavePicture, it works fine, but the final saved picture quality is poor...choppy like if you used Printform, not nice clean lines like the original metafile. How do i actualy make the text part of the original metafile, like if you opened it in a drawing program and added the text that way? Or how do I resave the new image property with the same quality as the original metafile? I am really stumped here! Can someone help please?
Thanks,
Aaron
