You have to use logical expressions to access not operators. That is: EXPRESSION ('[variable]' != 'A10')
Another sneaky way might be to do something like: CLASS EXPRESSION 'A10' END CLASS ...draw everything that is not 'A10'... END I haven't tried that way but the first class should catch all the A10's but won't draw anything since no COLOR is set. The second class would therefore get all the non-A10's with no expression necessary. If it were me I'd use a FILTER to exclude the A10's before shapes are read from disk. Faster that way...

I want to display more than one type of Highway Shield from a layer, one is : EXPRESSION 'A10' How would I do : EXPRESSION '<NOT>A10' Thanks bobb
