Title: How can I digitize easier using MapInfo?
|
I too would be interested in part of this
topic, the "timed mouse click" or "free handing" ability. If you happen
across further info, I'd appreciate your passing it along.
I use an Acecad 12x12 digitizer and it works
beautifully with Mapinfo. But it would be oh so nice while digitizing from
a raster, to more-less "draw" a road rather than "punch drag punch
drag".

Subject: MI How can I digitize easier
using MapInfo?
I am
currently digitizing maps by hand directly in Mapinfo using a mouse and my own
best visual judgement. However, using a mouse to draw polygons and lines
in MapInfo requires that I drag my mouse around while clicking away.
Thanks to this I am beginning to suffer from carpel tunnel which is severely
unpleasant. From what I have seen, MapInfo does not support timed
drawing where the user sets the rate of speed at which the computer will
automatically register a mouse click `n' times every second while i just move
the mouse around attempting to copy the shape of the objects as closely as
possible. Are there add-on programs that allow MapInfo to support this
technique? Is there other hardware out there that I can use with MapInfo
that will allow me to use this technique? Does MapInfo support the use
of a digitizing table and lazer pen? If anyone can help me out, or at
least point me in the right direction, my wrists and hands and I will be
eternally grateful.
