MI-L plotter question

The HP 2500CP is a good plotter, but slow. Its main problem is the cost of the inking system and that you cannot independently replace the ink head (you have to buy the head and a quart of ink together). It has a max RAM limitation of 64meg (but that has never stopped me from plotting files

RE: MI-L cosmetic layer name

Hello Sophie, It's simply because there can be more than one mapper window and each has their own cosmetic layer. In order to treat the layer as a table, they need different names. After starting MapInfo Pro, the first mapper window you use will always be "Cosmetic1" but it's best not to rely on

Hello Steve, Yes, you can do this with use of MapInfo/MapBasic's string functions such as Left$(), Right$(), Mid$(), InStr() and Len(). Right$() allows you to extract a number of characters from the left of a string. For instance, to query all the records in a table where the street name ends in
