My Prism layout contains graphs from more than one Prism file. When I export to TIFF the bar fills aren't right

Note that this issue has been fixed in Prism 6.

When you create a Prism layout with Prism 4 or Prism 5 and you include graphs from other Prism files by linking, when you export the layout in tiff format, the bar fills for the linked graphs may not look right (instead of a pattern, you will get a grey fill as in the tiff file below), even though they look the same in Prism.

The workaround is not to link the files but to merge them into the same Prism file before creating your tiffs. When you double-click on a graph placeholder in a layout to browse to another Prism file, you have the option of pasting a picture of the graph, linking to it, or merging it into the current file. If you merge the graphs and their data tables, exporting your tiffs will work correctly.
