| Framers,
| 
| We are having the following problem:
| 
| We are bringing SGML documents into Framemaker, making changes and then
| saving the documents back into SGML.  The problem arrises with the
| graphics.  All the Graphics were scanned at 300 dpi, however when we
| bring the SGML documents into Frame it converts the documents to 72 dpi
| and blows the size way off the screen.  We go ahead and in Frame convert
| all the graphics back to 300 dpi and then convert the file back to SGML.
| Then when we open it again all the graphics are...you guessed it, back
| to 72 dpi.
| 
| Whats the deal.  Is this this a simple fix, ini file, FDK, or what?

Try something like the following for your graphic element in the
Read/Write rules file:

element "graphic" {
 
  is fm graphic element "graphic";
  fm property import by reference or copy value is "ref";
  fm property dpi value is "300"; 
}

It's the last line that's the key; the others are very specific and
are subject to your individual application needs, DTD and EDD.

I hope this helps.
