Also remember that MapInfo has a built in function that will allow you to create regions from selected lines that make up closed areas.
Select all the lines make a new table editable (or the cosmetic layer) choose Objects > Enclose and voila Peter Horsb�ll M�ller GIS Developer Geographical Information & IT COWI A/S Odensevej 95 DK-5260 Odense S.

Yours Martin Spiers "John Nott" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] To: <[email protected]> sult.com> cc: Subject: MI-L Lines to Polygon Conversion 08/03/2005 11:24 Hello List, I have some Landline files (basically spaghetti line data) and what I would like to do is convert these lines into Polygons. I know that MI Pro has these option however the problem is that the lines although they make building outlines etc. are not captured in such a way that a building outline is one line and then the next building is a different line etc. Unfortunately MasterMap is not available to me which would be an ideal solution but I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts or ideas?
