ridiculous lines on printed map

I think you're talking about the grid lines. If so, just go into Page Setup on the print window and uncheck Grid under Map Details.

DaveA is correct. While they may be ridiculous to you many of us want them. If you don't simply follow DaveA's advice.

I think you're talking about the grid lines. If so, just go into Page Setup on the print window and uncheck Grid under Map Details.

gues what, IT DOESNT WORK! thats why i'm writing here ;/

The white lines are map segment lines (I think), and can't be removed...the dark lines are the Grid lines and are useful to get your paper map "North up"

Could be map related then. Which map are you using? Do you get the lines just on that map or every one?

Do these grid lines show up on all your maps or only this one? If so, which map is it?
Also, do they show up only when you try to print or all the time?

EDIT: Dang, SUSSAMB beat me to the draw again...:rolleyes:

Try the "print screen" button, than open up "paint" (if you are on a windows machine) right click on the new page, paste your image and "crop" your image. Maybe that way the lines are left out....

it's not map related, lines appear in default basemap, and yes, i don't want to use printscreen method, i need correct scale info, etc..

Try a ghostscript type pdf creator

Interesting thread. Learned a little bit. Some of those lines seem to be paper cut lines for taping small printouts together to form a larger map. OP may find that downloading a virtual PDF printer and selecting a custom larger paper size can be educational. It appears that Basecamp may support larger format printers.
