MI Printing - frustration!!

1999-08-16 Thread Brown, Christopher (HI Perth)
I would just like to vent my frustration about printing and MapInfo. I have two A1 portrait maps (1:12,500 scale) adjacent and overlapping each other ie West & East. Both contain an aerial photo image with simple lease regions overlayed on top of the image. I am printing using the latest (v4.1)

I don't know about you fellow listers but I am using V5.0.1 of MapInfo at present and have been following this crash thread and other threads on users of v5.5. Even though I am "itching" to get v5.5 (mainly for the update to the create legend feature/bug?). I am being put off from upgrading at al

Yes Maxine. Couple of pointers. 1. Turn off "Show progress bar during processing" in General MapImagery Options. With ver6030 (& possibly current ver6040, have not tested this yet), when this setting is on, some regions plotted out solid white when printing a layout using both postscript & HPGL dr

I tried the beta evaluation, I think about a year ago? Thinking all my problems would be solved when printing to our HP650c PS plotter. Unfortunately the ProPress application version I tried did not provide me with the solutions I expected of it! Since then I have not followed up on how MapInfo h
