mbols that were already in the CUSTSYMB folder, yet MI doesn't recognise this. I've restarted MI as well as the computer. Still nothing. I'm using MI 7.0. Any help would be appreciated. Don Mitchell Technician (IMS) City of St. Thomas 545 Talbot Street St. Thomas, ON N5P

MI-L How Do I Label Along a Curve in MI?

2004-06-18 Thread Hughes, Colleen / Don Mitchell
Hi All, This is my first message to this support group - almost sounds like some 12 step program 8-) Does anyone know how I can create labels in MI that will follow along a line such as a trail or stream on a map. Is there a tool out there that will allow me to do this. Don Mitchell, GIS Tech
