Dan... Have to admit that I VERY rarely if ever use the fix button, and then only after I've isolated the issue for a specific error or warning. I do errors first, then warnings. But after each correction, I revalidate to refresh the list. Maybe that's overkill, but it keeps the exceptions from

Regarding your specific import Sam, could you link to it for us? I see the wooded areas on the border, but that sounds a little further than away from Kamloops than you. Share! ;-) Were these full size NTS tiles or sub tiles? Are they of a manageable size for stitching. How long did it take?
