Merci/Thank You all for your quick response. The solution I ended up using is the one proposed by Jacques Paris and the great tool you can download on his website: Fixshade. (http://www.paris-pc-gis.com/mlc/mlc_main_en.htm) It solved my problem in the most straightforward way. Here are the suggestions: The thematic layer is always stored in the workspace only. it is not a real layer. it is created on the fly. One way that you could work with this is to do a File > Save Copy As and save the workspace as a Windows MetaFile (WMF). I am not sure, but I think you can load WMF files into Freehand. I hope this helps. Karl Kliparchuk A thematic layer is just that, thematic. It contains only information about how to shade, shape, color, outline, etc. the layer it is a theme of. It contains none of the original table's data. To get what you are looking for, you would have to physically modify the objects in your original table changing the shape, color, fill styles, etc. to what you want. Then you could export the table to a mif. Cameron We've had this problem before and our solution so far has been to recreate the thematic directly in MAPublisher. Hope this helps! Best regards, Catherine Lessard Convert your thematic layer into a permanently colored map that you can then export as a mid/mif. Fixshade is a utility that will do that for you.
