Hi peppe,

  About your request "a", I don't know if you intentionally left out
points, but they will colour theme too.  Without giving it too much
thought, colour themed labels seems pretty difficult given the current
OJ Style implementation.  Perhaps Paul's Style Filter idea might be
able to handle it.  There would have to be a strong use case
otherwise, which I would be interested to hear.  Although my grasp of
JUMP internals is pretty good, my GIS experience is not so broad and
I'm constantly learning (from people on this list) about different
applications of GIS technology (like geology).

  It would seem that "b" would imply some raster editing capability
that we currently do not have, otherwise OJ is just being used as an
image translator.

  I'll let Stefan talk about "c" since SVG export is his work, but
IMHO it is difficult to guarantee that the scale will still be right
after the export.  I know from my experiences with PDF that the scale
can be correct in the PDF, but incorrect after printing due to the
printer driver or options like "scale to fit."  On-screen scale is
useless due to variations in monitor dot pitch and screen resolution
modes.

  The SkyJUMP shape export feature you referred to is supported by the
"Save Selected Datasets" option.  One of SkyJUMP's main purposes is to
increase productivity of our users who are constantly editing existing
facility maps to keep them updated with new construction. Save
Selected Dataset allows all of the changed layers to be saved at one
time, but also made it too easy to forget and mix geometry types.  The
new break-out feature saves your work which would have otherwise have
become empty geometries.

  As to porting this feature, I have looked at it recently and there
have been many changes in this part of the SkyJUMP code base since
Save Selected Datasets was originally ported to OJ.  I felt that it
was too difficult for me to separate out this single enhancement, so I
don't currently plan to port it over. Some of the other enhancements
in this area have met with mixed reviews, so I am reluctant to port
the changes "in toto".

regards,
Larry
