The preprocessing and static analysis work fine. I now want to plot the Normal forces in the beam elements and export the plot. Using &#8220;ETABLE,Normal_Force,Smisc,1&#8221; the plotting works fine. However, when i use the &#8220;\/show,png,,0&#8221; command (or in GUI: &#8220;PlotCtrls -&gt; Redirect Plots -&gt; To PNG File) , the lines are only one pixel wide and hardly visible, especially if i add a white background.&nbsp;Is there an option to export nice PNG-Files?<\/p>\n<p>See the Commands i used for Postprocessing below.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for your help!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\/post1<\/p>\n<p>set,last<\/p>\n<p>etable,Nodal_Force,SMISC,1<\/p>\n<p>pletab,Nodal_Force,noav<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>! commands taken from session &nbsp;editor:<br \/>! settings for png-file<\/p>\n<p>\/show,png,,0<\/p>\n<p>pngr,comp,1,-1<\/p>\n<p>pngr,orient,horiz<\/p>\n<p>pngr,color,2<\/p>\n<p>pngr,tmod,1<\/p>\n<p>\/gfile,800,<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>!
