This is what I am trying...when I turn on the layer it all goes pink...so something is not correct I have to move back 3 folders and go into the one housing the sym file The images are in the sym file folder in their own file

Add SYMBOLSET as the first line in your symbol file 2). In the mapfile, in the MAP section add a line SYMBOLSET /path/to/symbolset_file Mike -- Michael Smith Remote Sensing/GIS Center US Army Corps of Engineers Hanover, NH On 9/16/10 11:20 AM, "Jay Kapalczynski" <[email protected]> wrote: Thanks guys for your thoughts...still green to this and trying to learn I would make real sense to me to create the .sym file where I would not have to redefine the particular symbol sets DO I HAVE THIS RIGHT? 1.

DO I place that in the map file as well? Little confused there....
