I know how the labeling works in MapInfo 4+, I
know that you can switch the labels on and off in the Layer
control.
But I want the labels on a separate layer, so
that I can add and delete and change the labels as needs be.
With the way I understand
the labeling in MapInfo 4 is that it re-labels the window every time you zoom or
pan. With the result that you aren't assured that each street or object has got
a label (which is a necessity in my case), because of overlapping, and it
sometimes the labels looks untidy.
The problem I have with the Labels created in
MapInfo 3, and the Labeler.mbx program supplied with MapInfo 4+ is that the
labels is a fixed size. So when I'm zooming in and out the labels go
bigger and smaller.
So what I'm aiming for is a layer with labels similar to the
labels created in MapInfo 4 but on a separate layer.
Thank you for the replies so far
though
Rudi

Rudi,
Perhaps the Labeler.MBX that comes with standard mapinfo (in the tools
directory) will do what you need.

Hiya MapInfo Users
I know that Mapinfo1/2/3 used to save labels to a layer, with the problem
that they were only viewable/printable at the scale at which they were
created. But from Mapinfo 4 onwards the labels are linked directly to the
layer being labeled, and they keep the size specified regardless of the zoom
state you view them at.
Now I have a problem I'm sure a lot of users experience.

Any help regarding this issue would be much appreciated
