Hi James > does anyone know of one that works?
You can try out MapCAD, which does the job ... Description and Downlaod links on: http://www.tydac.ch/en/workgroup.htm Remark the following: - the english on-line help is unfourtunately not updated yet ... we'll work on it asap (look out for the "brush area" tool, 7th row of the toolbox) - it creates the pattern fills with vector "cells" you can create your own (cell library integrated) - what it creates is a "CAD-like" layer with the patterns, the advantage is that they are scaleable (i.e. if the cell size is 1 meter it stays 1 meter, not like the dumb mapinfo symbols ...) and bsically transferrable to any system, such as ArcView ... - If you are using MapCAD with MapInfo 5.5 you need to install a patch that you will find on the CD or that you can download at: http://testdrive.mapinfo.com/patch55026 best regards flavio ******** 10 Years TYDAC Event - Review see www.tydac.ch ********* xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ATTENTION: New Address xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ----------------------------------------------------------------- ############ Mit freundlichen Gruessen / Kind Regards ############ Flavio Hendry- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ############ TYDAC AG - http://www.tydac.ch #### #### Geographic Information Solutions #### #### Luternauweg 12 -- CH-3006 Bern ############ Tel +41 (0)31 368 0180 - Fax +41 (0)31 368 1860 ----------------------------------------------------------------- MAPINFO Strategic Partner - PCI Reseller - FME Distributor ESRI ArcGIS Solution Provider ----------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________________________________ List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MapInfo-L" in the message body.
