Christian,

try the following:

1. Set the appropriate style using the symbol style button.
2. Open the Mapbasic window
3. Type in the folling command and hit return after each line:

Set coordsys window frontwindow()
update YOURTABLE set obj=createpoint(centroidx(obj),centroidy(obj))

YOURTABLE is the name of the table you want to update


The polygon information is replaced by the symbol.

No MapBasic tool required ;-)

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards
i.A.
