The Windows Metafile Translator does not Save Line Widths Correctly in ClarisDraw

When saving a drawing from ClarisDraw as a Windows metafile (.wmf), certain line widths are not saved correctly.

This information was provided by Claris Corporation on 16 March 1998, and incorporated into Apple Computer's Tech Info Library.

In ClarisDraw, you have the ability to create a line using the option 'hairline'. A hairline in ClarisDraw has a point size of 0.01, which hypothetically is the narrowest line size than can be created. When saving a copy of a ClarisDraw file as a .WMF file, with any line width lower than 1, it will be converted to a 1 point line. This is due to a limitation of the .WMF translator and currently, there is no workaround.
