Re: MI Custom symbol

Title: Custom symbol

If you have also sized your image to 32x32 pixels, reduces the number of colors, and you still can't get it to work, I have sometimes opened a pre-existing MI custom symbol, pasted my desired image to it, then saved the symbol to the desired new name.  This will force a reformat of your image to the required. Not the best method but a workaround.   David ----- Original Message ----- From: Aaron Queheillalt To: 'MapInfo-L' Sent: Thursday, March 16, 2000 1:01 PM Subject: MI Custom symbol I have been trying to bring a bitmap in as a custom symbol without any luck.  I have followed the directions in the help menu, making sure the file is small (2K) and is 8-bit, but it does not show up in the drop down for custom symbols.  I have also restarted MapInfo, and made a layer editable.  The archives show many questions regarding this but I did not find any answers.  I was wondering if anyone has come up with anything, or knows of a work-around?
