MapInfo won't allow you to map parallel lines so being able to offset the
second/third etc data set would be really advantageous. I have only seen
this functionality within another GIS package called TRANSCAD marketed by
Maptitude. This software was written specifically for transportation
modelling but has a useful display function of being able to display
parallel lines/polylines and not polygons with filled patterns.
Any ideas?
