RE: MI-L drawing order for lines

My observation is that any objects are drawn in the order of which they are created/added to a table. If you look at the browser of a mappable table, the bottom-most row (associated with an object) would be the last item drawn (i.e. becomes the top most object of that layer since it is the

RE: MI-L drawing order for lines

Regarding the cut/paste method I mentioned earlier... It does work. To test, just make a map table editable and select one object, such as a polygon that is partially covered by another, then do a cut/paste. It will be redrawn on top of the other(s). Keep that object selected in the mapper.

RE: MI-L Question about Thematic Maps

Sheri- I've had a similar issue once before. Did you build the thematic on a selection/query? I've had problems saving workspaces to the network, after having built thematics on a selection. If this is the case in your situation, your best bet would be to save that selection into a new table.
