Hi Gabor,
If you used Geomedia Professional you should be able get the rotation from
the database or
write the data to a dgn file which should place cells for the symbols, then
convert it using the Universial Translator that comes with MapInfo
Professional.
To do this I create a configuration text file that looks like this:
MACRO _XPNDCELL yes
MACRO _IN_UNITS IGDS_MASTER_UNITS
MACRO _EXTENSION dgn
MACRO _BASENAME Junk
MACRO _FULLBASENAME j7-grid.dgn
MACRO SourceDataset n:\prj\final\dgn\assets\j7-grid.dgn
MACRO DestDataset n:\wccgis\mapinfo\translate_ut\temp
INCLUDE n:\wccgis\mapinfo\translate_ut\UT\gallery\IGDS2MAPINFO.fme
MAPINFO_COORDSYS_STATEMENT CoordSys Earth Projection 18, 31, \m\,
173, -41, 2510000, 6023150
<<keep an eye on the files that are created in your temporary directory when
you run UT to see the different configurations and replace values as
sppropriate>>
Change the first line to MACRO _XPNDCELL No
then (assuming you save this as say c:\temp\convert.fme) run the imut.exe
file from a dos session eg
imut c:\temp\convert.fme
the resulting mapinfo file will have the cell rotation listed as an
attribute. Use this (or it maybe 90� out) to rotate the symbols.
Can't help with the other question.
Cheers
Martin
