Ciao Giuseppe What is Projet Grande ? It I'll be useful for all users ? Project Grande is gone ... see previous mails in the list. I should like Mapinfo improve new features CAD If you really need professional CAD, MapInfo is not the right product. In this case you should look out for Autocad or similar. If you just need basic CAD capabilities along with MapInfo, there are extensions such as MapCAD (see http://www.tydac.ch/en/geoas.htm).

I don't miss what I haven't got. On the other hand, I've noticed over the years that the level of sophistication in the use of MapBasic (as seen from messages here) has been steadily and continually rising. Perhaps there is some value in a technology that remains stable long enough for people to gain some mastery in the craft. A technology doesn't have to be an evolutionary dead end just because it's not the latest and greatest. As long as it continues to do jobs that need doing, it has a future. And as the level of skill rises in the use of the old tools, they can develop new vitality. I know it's a good thing to have new tools that do more than the old ones, but frankly the rapid growth of computer technology and the racing pace of software evolution is a little hard to keep up with. What results for most people is that every 18 months or so we have to spend tine and money upgrading to stay current with all the other lemmings. And then we're back on the ground floor trying to learn how to use all these new tools. Sometimes I feel like I'm being used by the new tools more than the other way around. I've always been surprised with what a clever programmer can do with just MapBasic and a deep knowledge of the computer, so I wouldn't be surprised to see MapBasic continue to enjoy a long life and continue to surprise us. Also, there are still a lot of map-related jobs that don't require dot-NET and 2 gigabytes of RAM and the most out-there compilers. For those who want what Project Grande promised, there's the MapXtreme route, but I'm happy that we still have MapBasic to kick around... - Bill Thoen ___ MapInfo-L mailing list MapInfo-L@lists.directionsmag.com http://www.directionsmag.com/mailman/listinfo/mapinfo-l
