Re: MI Utility to make dropped text live again.

[Geograf�a y Electr�nica.]

Colin:

Actually, you don't need a program, only a few lines in the mapbasic window:

select * from Table where str$(objectInfo ( obj, 1)) = "10" into Onlytext 
update onlytext set col1= objectInfo (obj,3)
update onlytext set obj= createpoint ( centroidX(obj), centroidY(obj))

before creating the point objects, you can save any of the text attibutes
that you want into the database.  font, angle, etc.
