Re: [Maptitude] measuring distance

[Chris Wagner]

Back in October 2003  I was working on something at the time and wanted to know  the distance from each location  when   Kjartan Stefansson   passed this information on to me I was only working in one location   but to follow the ideas already suggested     First get the location for each park and write it down (Lat, Lon)    Maybe a print out from the park dataview select your residence  table goto dataview     modify table        add a field for each park  and make it a real number.  (depending on how accurate you want  it to be,  the number of decimals) when done say yes to modifying the table Open the residence  in a dataview     scroll over to  'Park 1'    Or what ever you named the first added field        Click on the Heading for that column to highlight the whole column. In the top menu select Edit  >  Fill            Select Formula and enter the statement below GetDistance(Coord(-11240478,33248511), Coord(latitude,longitude))        Notice no Decimal in the Coordinates Change the   -11240478,33248511  to the Coordinate you wrote down of the first park Say OK  and it should fill in the column with numbers     Do the same for the rest of the parks This should give you the distance you require for each.    Again thanks to Kjartan Stefansson for passing the information on to me Chris Wagner Tom Shoals wrote: I have two point layers (10 parks; 200 personal residences). I am trying to find an easy way to measure the distance from each residence to each park. Is there an easy way to do this in Maptitude? Would a script or macro perform this function automatically? If so, does anyone have an example of such a script they could share? Thanks for the help. Tom             __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
