Topic:
Unable to post contacts in Basemap.

Description:
The problem is with hidden bit handling in Basemap.  If contacts, or other IESX
interpretations do not post in Basemap, correct the problem with one of the
following procedures.

Solution:
Solution 1:

1. Click the interpretation icon ("I" icon at bottom left of canvas) until a
slash appears through it, indicating that it has been turned off, and redisplay
the Basemap.  It is important to continue clicking the icon until it displays in
the off position, since the bits may still be confused and may not turn off on
the first try.  

2. Turn the interpretation back on by clicking the "I" icon once more and let
Basemap redisplay.  The contacts should now be posting.

3. Save the map via File > Save (with or without interpretation) so that the map
appearance will be corrected.  Any further interpretation posting should work
properly. REMEMBER to SAVE the map, otherwise you will have the same problem the
next time the map is opened.

Solution 2:

1. Create a new map with File > Manage Map, making sure you are NOT using a map
appearance that is already "confused".  In Manage Map make sure the "Use Default
Appearance" toggle near the bottom of the dialog menu is turned on.



RESOLTION: Corrected for GeoFrame 3.7.
