I've created a .NET control that contains different drawing features
(box, pencil, ellipse, text, etc.) The control runs in another app
where I store the graphic in a database field and then load it for
modification. (Like having a mini-Visio in an application). When I
load a saved graphic, it's smaller than when it was first created, as
if the zoom level was not applied. I'm not understanding the
relationship around the drawing surface settings (pic size, zoom,
etc.) and was hoping for some clarification.

Here are the properties I have set for the MetaDraw control:

Size: 12800, 7400
Zoom Factor: 1
PicXSize: 13300
PicYSize: 7500
OrigHeight 5760
OrigWidth 5760
AutoScale User

The drawing surface fills out the area specified by Size when the
calling app loads. But when the graphic is reloaded after saving, the
drawing surface and graphic are much smaller.

I need to simply have a consistent image on draw, redraw and print.
What am I not getting?

ANY help would be tremendously appreciated.

Thanks,

Peter
