Sandra, If I understand your query correctly- the X & Y Coords already exist if your points table is mappable. If you want to view them you need to create 2 new columns for X,Y (make sure they are Float type, then use "Update column" to populate the table with the coords. HTH Nola

However, I was a little dissappointed with Vertical Mapper SDK. It's a product that's needed, but this implementation looks more like an afterthought that a typical solid MapInfo product. About a month ago I sent the following to MapInfo Tech Support describing some problems I had with it but still have not had a response. "1. If I develop an MBX in my own directory with calls to the vm SDK functions, they don't work. 2. If I copy all the vm DLLs to the directory where my MBX runs from, the applications works, but the VM progress bars don't show. 3. If I load Vertical Mapper into the MapInfo environmemt first, and I'm running my MBX from my own directory, and I've copied all the vm DLLs to that directory, everything works and the VM progress bars show. 4. If I run my MBX from the vm directory, I don't have to copy any DLLs, but it behaves as in 2 and 3 above. 5. The SDK manual needs some work. There are a number of mistakes and at least one function undocumented (vmGetPRogressTextCallback() used in Batch.mb). Documentation about parameters whose values depend on units (e.g. height, coordinates, radius etc. as in vmViewshed()) needs to include what units are assumed. Also, the documentation fails to describe the return values from many functions. If it doesn't matter, these should be subroutines, not functions, and if it does matter, they need to be documented. So what is the proper way to develop, distribute and install MBX applications that use the vm SDK? I don't want to put applications in the vm directory because that will clutter up that directory. Also, you need Admin privilege to write to directories in the Program Files tree. I don't want to have to copy DLLs to each directory where my MBX's may be installed. That gets into legal and user-screwup issues. Besides, unless VM is running, they won't work properly anyway if I do that. The vnDev.def file assumes that the vm DLLs are in the application directory or at least in the search path. Standard installation of Vertical Mapper doesn't guarantee this. The manual says nothing about where to install the sdk or how to integrate MBX's with Vertical Mapper so that they actually work. I think the assumption is that MBXs go in the vm directory and that VM is loaded into MapInfo. If it has to be that way, then they should say so, and in any case that's not an ideal solution due to privilege issues and the fact that MBXs often come with their own baggage in terms of data and configuration files and will potentially make a mess of the vm directory. So, can you give me some guidance?" - Bill Thoen ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Thu, 31 Aug 2006 09:32:54 -0400 From: Simon Roy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: FW: [MI-L] Importing DWG files To: Mapinfo-L <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed I use UT to import DWG into MI (7.8).

I'm trying to change the symbol for a selection using mapbasic. When I look up the commands in the reference guide, it states that the Do While statement isn't supported in the MapBasic window, nor is any of the other looping statements nor is the If Then statement. Is it possible to perform looping or to test for things (like If Then) from the MapBasic window. I don't have Mapbasic, other than from within MapInfo, but thought I could write some simple scripts to automate some of the repetitive tasks I have and just copy them into the mapbasic window to run them. The code that I have so far: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------- select * from OverDue where Due_Tested = "NO BFP" into NoBFPtab Dim bfpobj As Object, bfpsymbol As Symbol bfpsymbol = MakeSymbol(34,0,6) Fetch First From NoBFPtab Do While Not EOT(NoBFPtab) bfpobj = NoBFPtab.obj Alter Object bfpobj Info OBJ_INFO_SYMBOL, bfpsymbol Update NoBFPtab Set obj = bfpobj Fetch Next From NoBFPtab ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------- Any help is be appreciated.

I need to create an excel (csv) file from this. I know how to create the csv file from a table. I just need to know how to populate the table. We have created points on a map but I now need the coordinates of these points. There are a lot of them so I don't want to have to manually type these in. Is there away to populate the table? Thanks you in advance to all who can help. Cheers, Sandra Rickard Geologist Wolfden Resources Inc.
