Are you saying that you get the object to print but it doesn't print  
where you expect it to appear? If that's the case, keep in mind that  
when you do:

g.DrawObject d, 67, 60

that the 67, 60 represent offsets relative to d.X and d.Y. If you  
have not set d.X and d.Y they default to 0. In that case, your shape  
should print or display at canvas or page coordinates x = 67 and y =  
60 as expected. But if you have set d.X and d.Y to say 50 and 100  
respectively, for example, then your object will display at x = 117  
and y = 160. This can be surprising until you get the hang of it.

Best,

Jack
