The Scenario:
I am converting AutoCAD dgn files to MapInfo layers.
There are two files from AutoCAD, one that has the polygon (30,000 property parcels) and another file that has a text parcel identification for each parcel.
The result I want is a MapInfo layer (30,000 parcels) with the identification as an attribute.
The process I am using is the Table>Update Column to add the the text parcel identification as an an attribute to the text parcel layer. Then I do a geographic join where the text object is entirely within the parcel object. This takes care of most of the parcels, but then I need to reconcile those parcels whose identification is not entirely within the parcel.
The Problem:
I need a better way to track down the parcels whose text identification
is not entirely within the polygon boundary.
Currently I am overlaying the joined parcels (in one colour) on the layer that has all the parcels (in a contrasting colour) and when I see a different coloured parcel I know there is a parcel that needs fixing. This is a slow and labourious process, especially on some of the small parcels. I need a better way of tracking down these parcels and identifiers that need attention.
Do you have any suggestions?
If there were a way of doing some kind of a 'not entirely within' query that might help, but I don't think that is possible.
The Solution:
(your turn)
Thanks,
