Why is the SAMPLE AM not any more an icon offered in the tool box, I know
it was previous versions?
The AM is enrolled correctly - I can click on it. There is also an
MCC_SAMPLE_ICON.DAT file in mcc_system.

The only reason it was there in the first place was
because
1. the code that looked at the dictionary was
not robust enough to skip over it.
2. debugging purposes.

BTW do you think it should be there? If so, why?

Last October the Iconic Map was modified to filter out the SAMPLE global entity. At that time it was considered buggy and caused the Iconic Map to crash. The short term fix was to not let the user select it until the AM was fixed. At that time it was unclear whether it was going to be fixed in time for v1.1. If memory serves me correct (which might not be the case here :-) all hell broke loose when a REGISTER SAMPLE xxx directive was issued. I will check into whether SAMPLE should go back into the toolbox for v1.2. /Jim | |||||

You can't register SAMPLE entities because they don't support a
FULLNAME as one of their identifiers.
We have had requests that sample be made registerable as an example of
how to do it, as well as to have a fast-quick registerable "real"
entity to test out domains/maps etc.
I believe this will be done for 1.2 or some such time.
