Kent,
You need to advise your client to change their options:
Select from the menu Options > Preferences...
Choose [Map Window]
Change "Move Duplicate Nodes In:" to "The Same Layer"
Now adjoining polygons with nodes in the same place will be reshaped at the
same time (no gaps!)
Also remember that by pushing the "S" key on the keyboard the SNAP mode is
turned on and off. This will allow your clients to select one node and move
it to the exact location of another node by snapping to it.
Hope this helps

Subject: MI Multiple Polygon Reshaping Tool
I am in need of a MapBasic tool for reshaping polygons (or polylines) for a
client.
They want to be able to move a node while in reshape mode, and have the
related node in neighboring polygons be changed at the same time so the
polygons either do not leave a gap or overlap.
Right now, after making node location changes to one polygon, they have to
select the neighboring polygon(s) and move that polygon's node from the
same original node location to the new location. It is inexact, unless
they right click on each node and type in the exact string of coordinates
to match.
Has anyone built a MapBasic utility to reshape multiple polygons that share
a single node in one step?
Thanks,
Kent Hargesheimer
