-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Folded vs. flat again Date: Thu, 11 Oct 2007 16:18:11 -0400 From: Hallie Pritchett <[log in to unmask]> To: 'Maps, Air Photo & Geospatial Systems Forum' <[log in to unmask]> Thanks to everyone who responded to my folded vs. flat question - it generated a very interesting discussion! The consensus seems to be file maps flat whenever possible, both to preserve the map itself and to limit the number of locations one has to go to find maps. Exceptions tend to be made for maps with covers and/or accompanying texts as well as small CIA maps, but there were are number of creative solutions given for dealing with such issues. While we're still working out some processing details, I'm leaning towards following the trend & filing flat with logical exceptions. Thanks again for the input!
