New and enhanced features.
New InfoTips - Display a pop-up label in a ToolTip-like bubble when the
cursor hovers over an point, line or other object. For example, hover the Select Tool over
the city of Paris to show the city's population in a pop-up box.
New Intersection Styles and Better line width control: Create
intersections on your maps that really LOOK like intersections and specify Line Widths in
measured units, not just in "pixels". MUCH easier to determine what your printed
maps will look like.
Higher Node Limit: The maximum # of nodes has been hugely increased. Was
32,000, now 1,048,572 nodes per polyline and region.
New Report Writer: Present your data tables in a formatted columnar report,
including headers and footers. Data records in the report can be sorted and grouped.
Numeric fields subtotaled and grand totaled.
Save Queries (at last!): Save your carefully specified query from session to
session. Queries can be saved in workspaces, too.
New StatusBar Popups: Use the new StatusBar popup menu to, for example,
quickly change which layer is editable. You can use this new feature also to change the
information that displays in the StatusBar, e.g., Zoom level, co-ordinate information and
cursor position.
New Thematic Templates: Create, save, and re-use the color schemes you like
best.
New Tool Manager: MapInfo has long included various MapBasic programs to
make your mapping work easier (ScaleBar, Labeler, etc). Now these handy tools are
available from the MapInfo Tools menu.
New Universal Translator: Translate to and from MapInfo TAB/MIF/MID file and
AutoCAD DXF/DWG, Intergraph DGN, ESRI Shape files, and ESRI *.E00. Note that support for
native AutoCAD DWG, Intergraph DGN is new. Note that you can now translate To Shape
format, not just From it.
