1. Add 2 col's to your table from Table>Maintaince>Structure. They need to be float data type. Name them Lat and Long (or spell it out, your choice, col name won't affect the process). Reopen the table.
2. go to Table>update Column, choose your table from "Table to update" pull down. Column to Update choose Long (or Latt). 3. "From Table" choose same table (that's also the default) 4. put cursor in the Value field, and hit the Assist button. in the next screen, go to the Function pull down and choose CentroidX, X is Longitude, CentroidY is Latitude (Mnemonic is Fatty Latty, notice the Y at the end). Hit ok and ok, repeat for the other col using the proper function (x or y). 5. Now go to Table>Export and select .txt from the "of File Type" pull down, and then there will be a chance to choose tab or comma delim, and using first row for col names. Note, you will get the region centroid for the regions as well, you can query out just the points from SQL by putting in the Where section Str$ ( obj ) = "point". Then go through the above update on the query instead of your table.

Hello All and Thanks for your help in advance. I have a map where one layer has several boxes made using the polyline tool. In the center of each box I have an symbol placed using the symbol tool. These symbols are in the same layer as the polyline boxes. I can with the Select tool click on each symbol and see the coodinates for the symbol. I want to export The coodinates of each symbol into a file. Tab or csv would be great. Any Ideas? --------------------------------------------------------------------- List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message number: 4616
