Hello all,
I have 2 tables, one containing names of towns and the other containing the
locations of towns. The names are slightly offset, (don't ask me, I didn't
create it), which means that it only looks decent at a certain scale. I
would like to move the town names to the town location table, and then use
autolabelling to label them.
I thought that I would create two new fields in each table and put the
eastings and northings in them, and then do something or other with buffers
which would match up the correct town names with the town locations. When I
did an Update Columns using CentroidX(obj) and CentroidY(obj) the northings
came out more or less what I would expect, but the CentroidX values are
totally wacky. The actual maps have the correct positions for the towns,
and if I click on a symbol the Point Object dialog comes up with a
meaningful UTM value, but the centroidX values are on the order of
-10,000,000. I get the same behaviour for both tables, which are in UTM
Nad27 zone 13.
Can anyone tell me what's going on?
Also, any ideas on the buffer thing mentioned above?
Thanks
