David I have been looking for this sort of facility for about 4 years! Like you I have had little joy with using line style editor. Previously I have been advised to buffer the region inwards to stop lines overlapping but this then obviously alters the area of the polygon which makes this useless to us. I recently found a new .pen file under http://www.directionsmag.com/tools/ that offsets the line all around the polygon which works ok but doesn't actually colour the line inwards from the boundary only offsets it which then means that the lines you have spent ages digitising is not on the boundary. Any solutions that you find that could draw a line inwards from a boundary to stop two polygons overlapping would be fantastic news for us as well!
Ian -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 01 October 2002 13:13 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: MI-L Line Editor Tool (LineEdit.exe) I have been experimenting with using MapInfo's Line Editor tool - trying to create offset line styles that will display exclusively inside or outside of a boundary, as per legal boundary delineation, thereby allowing the displaying of abutting regions as outline boundaries. The Line Editor only seems to allow you to create styles which straddle the centre of the line rather than creating genuine offsets either side of a boundary. Has anyone had any success with this tool in creating offset styles? Or does anyone know of any other tools that allow the creation of offset line styles?
