style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I have just discovered a wonderous
thing. Where surface points in a survey centreline are included in a
map, the labels will self organise so that they don’t overlap. See example 1
and 2 attached.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN lang=EN-NZ
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">This effect goes away I think when
the points are included in a scrap.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN lang=EN-NZ
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">It also does not have effect
between separate map objects.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN lang=EN-NZ

or is it directly inherited from <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:State

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN lang=EN-NZ

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Now on to my short-term deadline
question!<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN lang=EN-NZ
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Why might example 1 have +s in on
all the points and example 2 have all the +s
missing?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN lang=EN-NZ
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I have not done any redefinition
of points (unless by accident, and then they should be identical), and I think
my symbol-show, symbol-hides are similar (though not the same I
admit).<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN lang=EN-NZ
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Both the images are from the same
dataset, just in different regions a few km apart, and also in different
parallel branches of the survey structure, so somewhat independent of each
other.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN lang=EN-NZ
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Both have caves displayed in a
similar manner to example 2, it’s just that the caves in example 1 were not
included in the screenshot.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN lang=EN-NZ
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">As you can see, the map structure
in example 1 is very simple (the old paper cave map was traced in outline only
in therion), whereas example 2 has perhaps 100 maps as it is a 15km cave drawn
entirely with therion. I have turned off the layers which would have
made the image confusing.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN lang=EN-NZ
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Any guesses as to which
symbol-show (or other statement) directly effects the + part of the point
symbol, as I would like to show them in both
cases?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN lang=EN-NZ
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I’m also still looking for a way
to show the labels for fixed points (and leave other point labels
unaffected). What is the ‘property’ that <st1:place

file?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
