Sounds like a problem with bounds and precision. Look at

Subject: MI MapInfo 5.0.1 Polygon Snapping Problem
>
>
> I have recently come across my first major error using MapInfo and my
own
> tech support staff has not heard of it. My problem occurs when I am
drawing
> polygons using underlying layers to determine the boundaries. Using the
snap
> function and the cross hairs to determine the snap vertice point, after I
> release the mouse button, the vertice snaps to a point to the right about
1/4
> inch on the screen. No other layers are selectable. I have packed the
table,
> tried snapping using other layers and have closed down MapInfo, but to no
> success. Has anybody else come across this problem and if so could you
shed
> some light on the subject.
