You are probably using labels where you
should be using text objects instead. Labels are tied to a Map window; they are automatically
placed by MapInfo and always stay the same size on the screen, meaning they
grow and shrink with respect to the Earth. They do this even if you
adjust them. Text objects exist in a table and are
always the same size with respect to the Earth, meaning they appear to grow and
shrink on the screen as you zoom in and out. One of the tools that comes with MapInfo is
called "Labeler" and lets you convert labels into text objects.
Once you turn the tool on via Tools->Tool
Manager you can invoke Tools->Label
Functions->Transfer current labels to move the labels into a
table. After you do this, make sure to save the workspace under a DIFFERENT
name from the one you opened it with, as the results may not be exactly what
you want. You'll need to re-run the tool after adjusting map scales and
font sizes, probably several times, before you're satisfied with the result. Hope this helps Spencer From:

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tim Smith Hi List, I'm exporting two adjacent raster tiles of
a vector map, but the road names so not align properly when I put them
side-by-side. The roads and other non-text features align perfectly. I'm using
the 'Save Window As...' tool. Is there a way to make text appear at the
same place at the same zoom level no matter where the center of your map window
is? My projection is UTM (WGS84) Zone 32
Northern Hemisphere ( Here is a link to two adjacent tiles: Here is a link to the two tiles joined
together - you can see the roads align, but the text doesn't. The pink circles indicate where the text
does not flow correctly from one tile to the next. The pink arrows indicate where the text is
ok when it crosses from one tile to the next. Any ideas? Kind regards Tim |
