Steve,

Many thanks for the help and we have just tested option 2 and that
works.

We are using 6.x but are not exactly sure how to use the geomtransform
to do this. Do you have  an example?

Regards

Ian

Couple of options depending on version:

  1) 6.x: buffer the points using a style geomtransform
  2) all versions: use layer SIZEUNITS to draw a circle symbol in miles

I think option 1 is more flexible but option 2 is probably faster.

We need to draw circles of 50 and 100 miles around a list of points.

How can we do this? 

Thanks

Ian
