>Can we use DK to load the .stg setting file into a layer??? Well, I notice that you can use LoadArray() to load an .stg file and display it with showarray(). The array contains everything you need to create a theme or labels. So with a little tedious analysis you could indeed replicate in the DK how the Maptitude interface applies the contents of the file to a layer.
By the time you can write that code you can probably just do a SaveArray() yourself of just the settings you need, and write your own load code. It's not difficult, just tedious and boring coding. I've done similar things in the past using .ini files, but SaveArray files are far less work.

That is how we do concentric circles (nontopological) so the outer ones draw first.
