hello,
Last week I had to write down the MBWin commands to select text objects by the text for a temporary worker that is not a MI power user but can do the basics [all we needed], so they could "fill in the blanks" in MBWin. So instead of writing the down again, I wrote them in code. ---- FindLike.exe This is a Delphi application that will attach to you current MI session. * Find any type of object -- points, lines, regions, text and subtypes * Find the "text" in Text Objects * Replace the "text" of Text Objects with Left$, Mid$, Right$ functionallity including replacing all occurrances with the mid function works by searching with standard SQL "%" * Find by Rotation Angle range ">=30 and <60" Once the initial selection is "picked", mainly to the the table to work with, you can change the attributes to work with using the same icon buttons as the "MI Pickers". Such as original is "solid red line width 1" -- no problem -- click the picker and make it "green width 2" THIS IS "beta" first release software If you want to try it and help refine and debug it just reply to the email and I'll tell send you the link to download it. I don't get in until 6pm CDT and with hurricane Isidore threatening South Texas later in the week I will answer what I can and really hoping we get missed again. Use in my coords below and check http://www.srh.noaa.gov/crp/ for latest weather.

I�m trying to separate the objects in a drainage layer (points for catch basins, lines for pipes) so I can export it to ArcView. Any ideas about that would be appreciated also.
