Hi Uffe I am still slowly learning all things MapInfo: when you say 'Remember to change the coordinate system first by calling "set coordsys table ......" in the mapbasic window.'
What am I setting the coordinates to - is it the table's coordinate system (UTM Zone 17 (NAD 83)? Also what is the format for the coordinate system when entered into MapBasic. Thanks again.

Remember to change the coordinate system first by calling "set coordsys table ......" in the mapbasic window.

I've seen a solution from the archives that uses MapBasic to do this, however I don't have MapBasic. Is there any way I can do this without MapBasic. The squares have to be orientated to north to south, I tried to use the buffer command but they rotate 45 degrees.
