Hi Maura,

This behaviour is not directly linked to DITA.

Framemaker's anchored frame with multiple facets (or objects) has no counterpart in XML. THe default behaviour is tht when FM detects multiple facets in an anchored frame, it tries to combine them to a single graphic object in CGM format. The results are usually ugly..

I think it would be a major programming task to add multiple facet handler to export/import XML. It involves XML structure to support layered graphics with rich attribute set to support positioning/stacking etc. For example, MS supports this in OOXML, roundtrip works (though the XML looks horrible), but generating HTML with Word 2007 produces funny results sometimes.

I don't know of any FDK app that would separately produce the CGM's.

BR, Martti
