Myles & Martin, There are two answers here; You can draw your new region extending over the original, then Objects Set Target, Objects Erase Or (and this is particularly useful if you are using polylines rather than regions); - set snap on (toggle the "s" key) - drawing your region( or polyline) lock onto the first vertex, then, holding down the "shift" key, move along the existing region-boundary, your new region-boundary will be drawn along the same route as the old one. -Try pressing the "ctrl" key rather than the "shift" key, and the new region-boundary will be drawn round the existing region in the other direction. Hope this helps, Brian Forrester Wood Mackenzie [EMAIL PROTECTED] Your Message: " I have a mapinfo table of which contains very detailed regions. When I say detailed I mean the bounday lines are made up of hundreds of points over a short distance. What is the best way of copying a piece of this region's boundary so that when I digitise another region adjacent to it, they have identical boundaries?
