Second, the text and polygon drawing problem goes away when I select location lat/lon in the drawing control window instead of the default lat/lon/alt, as you hinted. I guess that some shapes (text and the two types of polygons) were being drawn beneath the image (at least after zooming and/or panning) while the other shapes were being drawn on top of it? (I forgot to mention that I was drawing on a GINIEAST 1km visible CONUS satellite image display.)
They should all be drawn at the same level. Can you send me a bundle to look at? Thanks, Jeff
