Hi List, I am guessing this is an easy one, but I just can 't seem to get it to work. In the MI help this is what it says... straight from the online help. Can anyone shed some light on #3? Erasing An Object Or Portion Of An Object You can erase either closed objects (regions, ellipses, rectangles, rounded rectangles) or open objects (polylines, lines and arcs) using the Erase command. You cannot use Erase on points or text objects. To erase an object or a portion of an object: 1. From Map > Layer Control, make the layer editable. 2. Select the object(s) to be the target for editing, and choose objects > set target. 3. Create and select the erasing object (or use objects from the same or another layer). The erasing object must be closed. 4. Choose Objects > Erase. 5. At the Data Disaggregation dialog, set the field functions to be either blank, value or area proportion. 6. Click OK. The target object will now be erased where the erasing object was. Create and Select the erasing object?!?!? I only have 1 object to select (thought that was the one I selected in #2) and then I want to erase river boundaries within the state boundary, they are on the same layer, is that my problem? I would appreciate any insight. Thanx in advance, Cn Christy Noonan Emerging Technologies Dept.
