Re: MI-L Points to Regions without Mapbasic

Just type in the name of your table instead of the dots. This is the name as 
it looks in the layer control, not the filename.

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.
Brian

Hi Brian,
Use
mbr(createline(centroidx(obj)-12.5,centroidy(obj)-12.5,centroidx(obj)+12.5,centroidy(obj)+12.5))
for updating your centroids. Remember to change the coordinate system first
by calling "set coordsys table ......" in the mapbasic window.

Subject: MI-L Points to Regions without Mapbasic

I have a database that contains coordinates of 50,000 centroids that make up
grid of 25m square cells. 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.
TIA
Brian
