Dear all, I apologise for this question which I think was answered recently. I have a DXF file that has points(no height attribute) and separately on another layer text (no attributes) that goes with each of the points giving a height value. I wish to create a DEM but firstly I need to obtain the respective height for each of the point locations. I figure I need to buffer and then merge the two data sets. But I don't know how to get the graphic only text as an attribute in my new table. thank you Gabor Gabor Vasarhelyi GIS Manager Environmental Resource Managers Australia Pty Ltd Phone: 02 8425 1675 Facsimile: 02 9906 5375 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MAPINFO-L" in the message body, or contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
