Richard, Maybe you should put these wishes on the MapInfo-L.com wiki !! Also remember to give the wishes to your MapInfo Corp. contact person, so that they can be registered in their Feature Request Database (FRED). This is the only way to let MapInfo know that such a wish exists. Peter Horsbøll Møller GIS Developer, MTM Geographical Information & IT COWI A/S Odensevej 95 5260 Odense S.

Good points on: FastEdit On Undo Off What I am working on is a fast, clean, way to get the user selection to hard copy print. In most cases one can insert the selection into the map and do a style override, but sometimes you want to show centroids (like for very small polygons at small map scales). A couple MapInfo "wish list" additions would be: + options > preferences > printer - 'print selection objects' + style selection for centroids + zoom level for centroid and node display But MI seems to have their heads buried too far up their .NET posteriors to concern themselves with the needs of users.
