Someone has suggested we add scrollbars to the Plot View. I'm writing to see if others think this is a good idea. In the past we have considered adding scrollbars, but decided that we already have a good number of ways of navigating around, and the scrollbars would reduce the size of the plot view area. Please reply to deeds@rcn.com. Thanks. Steve Broyles

I would love to have them when I am trying to exactly center an area for a print-out. I'm assuming that this is not a feature that can be turned on and off.

I've finally gotten used to the directional buttons and most of the time choose the right button for the direction I want to move. Possibly, as someone said, scroll bars would make it easier to move a map minutely one direction or another for getting a perfect view for saving as a graphic, or printing. The directional buttons make it harder to be exact. I have to say again that I love this program! Marie. > >Someone has suggested we add scrollbars to the Plot View.

You have entered 5000 ft/in >I use images all the time but this time It does not seem to work.

The program wants a ft per inch figure that is lower than 2400. (This funny limit has been in the program since day one, for reasons that are lost in the mists of time.) What the program is really trying to determine is the number of feet per scanning dot so it can properly scale the image. It does this by dividing the ft per inch by the dpi. In your case 5000/150 = 33.33 ft per dot. So, here's a trick to get around the 2400 limit. Divide 5000 and 150 by the same number, for example, 5. 1000 ft per inch 30 dpi These two have the same ft per dot value as 5000 and 150.
