Carlo, MapInfo has a rotate function in the Objects menu. I think this was added in version 7.0 og 7.5. You can also use the "Rotate handle" of the object to rotate a single object manually.
>From the MapInfo 8.0 User Guide: Also, if you click the on the fifth edit handle (rotate handle) and hold down the mouse button, you can rotate the highlighted box to the desired angle. A rubber banding box is drawn representing the bounds of the rotated object. If you press and hold SHIFT key while the rubber banding box is being drawn, the rotation will be limited to 45 degree increments.

I highlight one or a group of selected objects but I don't see any way of simply turning them clockwise with respect to north-south. I would like to do this without resizing them at all. This is something that is readily done in MS PowerPoint using the circular arrow button. Thank You, Carlo Fazio Vancouver Canada --------------------------------- Yahoo!
