Hi Listers,

Can anyone provide me with some help on registering a "non-earth" image in
Map Info?

I open a bitmap or .jpg, and then I choose to display it - not register.
Next I create a new table, and open new mapper then choose create.
Next I add a field and choose my projection of "non-earth" and inches.  I
leave the coordinates at the default, click ok and choose create and save
the new layer.

I go back to the original layer.  Go into layer control and add my newly
created layer, and make it editable.  Then using a drawing tool (polygon) I
start to trace the image.  But nothing shows up.  The polygon looks like it
is drawing but I can't see anything.  My region style and line style have
not been changed.

What am I doing wrong?????

Maybe there is a much easier way to accomplish what I am trying to do. The
application that I am using in conjunction with Map Info does not support
raster images, so I use the raster image as background and I am using Map
Info to trace it using polygons.  Seems very simple to me, and I know that
I'm doing something wrong or missing a step.  

Can anyone offer any suggestions before I loose my mind :o)

Thanks,
