copyright laws can vary considerably from country to country. I disagree with you on your example. Let us say that you create an outline (polygon) of the United states. If you created a map with just the polygon of the United States and nothing else, you could not copyright that polygon.

I have had good luck with printing large PDF map files. The maps I plot are 20 to 30 mb file size and 70 to 100 mb plot size. The maps themselves are up to 3 foot wide by 5 feet long. I plot straight to an HP 2500CP (no RIP). I find that if you create the PDF, the plot time is less than go

When you create a data set, you create a representation of things which may be "fact". If I create a data set which has a polygon which represents USA, I would not own USA or the copyright to it, but I WOULD own the copyright to the polygon I created. You too could create a polygon to represent U

Soren - Your print statement is trying to do some addition because the alias returns a column value - you need to tell MI that you're working with strings. Try casting the alias to a string (the Str$() function) - OR - using ampersands instead of plus signs - OR store the alias value as a strin
