RES: [maplab-users] error reading classitem

[Jeff McKenna]

Eduardo,

Sorry I should have been more specific.  When you add a new layer in MapEdit,
before you can access CLASSITEM you have to specify DATA & TYPE and apply these
changes.  I admit this is a pain, so we'll look at this for the next release.
