Hi Bill, Sounds like a great xmas wish list to me.

Thanks! Here's the solution for getting labels to stay put when creating a large-scale Layout window: >The way I correct the labelling problem is to: >1) "View Actual Size" in the layout >2) double click on the map frame and change the scale ever so slightly >(say 1cm = 500m to 1cm = 500.01m) - also make sure the "resize >frame" toggle is checked. >3) double click again and change the scale back to your original > >All labels are happy now..... > > And I agree with you all -- why HASN'T this bug been fixed yet? In fact, if MapInfo needs some featues to add for the next release that will actually excite people and motivate them to upgade, why not fix all the layout bugs and add some features that will allow us to put a finish on our maps that makes them look like cartographic art rather than 'toons? Why not add antialiasing like what's in SVG? Why not text on a curve, and some of the smart street labeling that's in MapText's Label-EZ? Why not provide line styles where you can change both the inside AND outside color? Why not color gradational fills? How about vector layer translucense? How about finishing the cartographic legend utility? Whew! (got a little wound up there...) _______________________________________________ MapInfo-L mailing list [email protected] http://www.directionsmag.com/mailman/listinfo/mapinfo-l ===[Disclaimer]=== This electronic transmission, including any attachments, is confidential, may contain privileged information and should be read or retained only by the intended recipient.
