trace won't print in xy graph

Hi all:

I'm using a panel as a report, it has a couple of numeric controls and
a XY Chart. I'm using the print.vi to print the panel but the traces
are not printed (even I see them on the screen). The graphs (borders,
grids, titles, etc.) and the other controls are printed correctly.
I've checked the support pages in ni.com and they had this problem
reported for version 5 and they describe that the upgrade to 5.1 fixed
that. I'm using version 6.0.2 and I have the same problem.

Does any body has an idea of what is happening?

Thanks all.

What colour are the trace lines? I had a bit of a problem with that. I had to make the traces black and make the lines thicker (right click on the line in the trace legend). Seems that the default line width is so narrow that it might not show up (or barely show up) when printed. Give the thick, black line a try and see if it solves the problem.

Thank you Rob for your response. The support guys from NI found what
happened. It seems that when you have the antialiased option turned on
in the trace, it won't print. Why? don't know but at least the problem
was solved.
