A clunky solution, but one that may work would be to load and close another large file
over and over again - in other words give it something else to do while you check your
ponds.
Good luck

Subject: MI incremental use of Set Map Center
Dear Listers,
I have bought, from a national mapping agency, some digital maps. Once
converted from dxf there is a layer "Ponds" comprising polylines, these I
have converted to regions. I wish to inspect each one region on the
mapper. I can select each from the browser window then go to the mapper
window and use Query>Find Selection but this is tedious.
I do have the centroid coordinatesof each pond region.
Using the method outlined by Andrew Dressel on August 9th last "MI MapInfo
Macros" whereby Mapbasic window commands are saved to a workspace I hoped I
could incrementally use the Set Map Center command. But I need some way to
make the execution of the workspace pause for some period of time or until
I press a key.
Is this possible ? and if so how ?.
This is what I have
!Workspace
!Version 600
!Charset WindowsLatin1
Set Map Center (146990, 228730)
Set Map Center (147060.65,228399.43)
Set Map Center (154837.48,236694.71)
Set Map Center (152648.66,239876.95)
Set Map Center (154772.38,237571.19)
Set Map Center (142689.58,236754.8)
I need something like this
!Workspace
!Version 600
!Charset WindowsLatin1
Set Map Center (146990, 228730)
wait here for 5 seconds or wait until the spacebar is pressed
Set Map Center (147060.65,228399.43)
wait here for 5 seconds or wait until the spacebar is pressed
Set Map Center (154837.48,236694.71)
