Sorry but have to pipe up here! I attended the Perth Forum yesterday and got a bit riled up about yet another "costly" upgrade full of super features but not addressing some of the simpler wishes that this list has put forward to MapInfo over the past few years (so much for taking notice of feedback)i.e.
- better tools in the layout, snap to a grid, a ruler that is half useful! How many people finish their maps in MapPublisher or Corel Draw? - what about a decent grid tool for mappers? I have been lucky enough to use Encom Discover's grid mbx (at a cost, mind you), this has always been far superior to the one offered in MI. - what about fixing the annoying item when the label lines take on the symbology of the current region tool settings. If you make an edit and say leave the region tool linestyle to red, weight 3. Then close all. If you don't reset your region tool then the next workspace opened with label lines takes on the sym. of the last set region linestyle! etc. etc BTW does the wish list still exist? One final thing that got me was, MapInfo saying that the 3D window will have higher resolution to stop the "blocky" looking current 3D window? To me, that should be a freely available fix, not a new feature that you get if you pay for an upgrade! Thanks for taking any notice, if you do?
