RE: MI-L TAB files for MrSID images

The .aux file is used by programs such as Leica IMAGINE and ArcGIS to store image data (much like a .tab file). The .sdw acts like a .tfw or World File, providing the basic georeferencing without the projection info - leading to your other question. I did about 12,000 MrSid files one time by

RE: MI-L Rotated Text Objects Print Solid

Thank you Peter and Ian, Switching from the LaserJet 4250 to an HP800GL as the Windows default printer seems to have solved this. Interestingly enough, prior to this problem this PC would fail to open the layout window in v. 6.5 workspaces. I looked at the Output Options Printer and saw

MI-L Rotated Text Objects Print Solid

Hi Listers, I have a workspace in which the layout has rotated text objects (as well as unrotated text objects). When I print the layout, the text objects that are rotated print as a filled rectangle (black or other assigned color). The strange thing is that other MI 8.0 users can print

MI-L Labeling Corner Coordinates in Layout

MI-L MI 7.5 and Shapefiles

Hi Listers, I'm running MI 7.5 and I'm having a problem displaying a layer I imported from a shapefile. The strange thing is that the same file displays fine in earlier versions of MapInfo (6.5, 6.0) as well as any of the ESRI products. So far I have tried reexporting the file from

MI-L Printing Translucent maps

Nick, You can print translucent polygons with Windows 2000 (and some in my organization claim to have done it w/ Win NT). However, XP is supposed to handle translucency and other graphics much more effectively. I have accomplished this with a HP 800PS under Win2000 by setting the up the GL

MI-L Mouse acceleration declines in MI

Hi Listers, Interesting problem I'm having with my mouse. I'm using a logitech mouseman with the logitech driver on windows 2000. All is fine in my other applications, yet within MapInfo the pointer speed and acceleration slows to a crawl. Does this sound familiar to anyone? TIA Harold R.
