Whenever you add a parcel it will get plunked down in an arbitrary location and it's invariably the wrong location!. But you don't have to go to it to select it and drag it. Whenever you leave the Text View and go to the Plot View the parcel you were just looking at in the Text View is automatically selected. This means that you can be looking at a portion of a map where you want the parcel to be and you can "snap" the parcel there by simply holding down the left mouse button. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter and Connie Bradish" <bradish@attglobal.net> To: <DEED-MAPPER-USERS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, June 27, 2004 8:04 AM Subject: Re: [DMU] Using Map with Deedmapper > Hi folks, > A good point is made below by "jgsull".
