In your mapbasic install folders there should be a folder called ICONDEMO. Build that .mbx from the .mb and run it then you can graphically see what all the icons are and their numbers. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, February 21, 2005

One can do this by saving the layers you want transparent in the layout window, as a .tiff (or I suppose .jpg) opening it in Photoshop, and adjusting the opacity of those layers over a master. The master should also be a .tiff or .jpg at the same size and scale. If you are using Aerial
