Yes, PV can be used w/o MapInfo, that's just the point. However, it can only open and not alter tables and/or workspaces. So great care must be taken when saving workspaces, that search paths will work on your distributed data sets. Unfortunately, the setting for adding alternate search paths as in MI Pro is excluded from ProViewer. As for Fonts; Yes they need to be included and the user must be told to install them, else MI cannot use them and will display a standard symbol or font instead.

Using a trackball (an inverted mouse so to say) enables you to place your hand and forearm in the most comfortable way, you will not need to lift your forearm or wrist but need only to use your fingers for cursor movement and mouse clicks. Another device I came upon lately (but have not tested) is a 'mouse pen'. This is like a pen with a minute mouse ball at the tip. Is is held like a pen and connects to the computer by radio. Clicks are effected by tapping the pen or buttons on the pen and it can be used on any surface. The brand slips my mind but I belive you could look for 'mouse pen' on the net.

SV: MI Converting Microstation projects to MapInfo workspace
To Laure Dessemontet-Berthoud - First of all ... Universal Translator is a scaled down version of a product called FME from www.safe.com. UT (and FME) use two files to translate data: 1) is the dgn input file and 2) a .fme file containing FME commands to guide the translation from .dgn to .tab or .mif files. In your case, UT is generating appr. 6 .tab - files for every dgn file, because UT is directed by the .fme file to sort the geographic elements in points, text, lines, polygons, arc, ellipses ... each feature type in a separate tab file. Another method is to split the dgn files in up to 64 tab files, one file for each igds-level ... If you'll look in the MapInfo program directory , You'll find, that UT is a stand-alone program "Mapinfo directory\professional\ut\imutgui.exe" that's started from a mapbasic program. The "imutgui.exe" is a Windows front-end for the command-line program "Mapinfo directory\professional\ut\imut.exe". Both "Imutgui.exe" and "imut.exe" can be run outside the MapInfo environment. The remaining problem is to control "imut.exe" by feeding it parameters on the command-line. Because "imut.exe" is a scaled down version of the FME-translator, is it possible to control imut.exe with the same parameters you use in FME. You can download the full documentation to FME from www.safe.com, including the chapter on translations using the command-line program. If you search the ..\ut directory (and subdirectories) you'll find many snippets of fme control-macros, that is used by MapInfo. A warning - the fme control language is _somewhat_ (meaning _very_) cryptic :) Some notes on using Imut.exe: 1) A _lot_ of the feature functions and factories from the original FME-program has been disabled. 2) Coordinate translation (Projection and Datum sihfts) "inside" imut.exe has been disabled 3) The "base" version of the original FME - program that imut.exe has been developed from is FME build 280 (ca. ver 2.0 - 2.1), so you can't use any ver 2.2 or 2.3 syntax in the imut-based macro (ie. no TCL). What you _can_ do: 1) Use imut.exe from the command-line, ie. from bat-files and mapbasic. 2) Write your own (somewhat limited) fme macros, for example: A macro that reads dgn-data; converts dgn-linestyle, colors, textfonts to the corresponding mapinfo linestyle, colors and fonts ( using the fme-function "lookup"); writes the data as one or two MapInfo files - all in one step. If you want to do some serious data translation, I advise you to buy the FME product from SAFE software. I've used both Imut.exe og Fme to translate several hundred dgn-files. I have found, that using FME and Imut from the command-line and with batch files is the best method, when you are dealing with hundreds of file translations. Good Luck..

RE: MI HELP!
I did help someone cure her "mouse (=tennis) elbow" some time ago by simply showing her how to use the right mouse button; she was using a large size monitor and doing a lot of map editing via regular menus, hence constant long pointer moves. But as the "short cut" menus are somewhat limited, we decided on which items should be available (including some icons commands, such as "pointer/selector" that is so much in demand after using any tool) and I wrote a small mbx to modify the menus. I took this opportunity to even change the display language of these menus. The combination of both actions was a very good remedy. MapBasic does not have to be on your machine, you can write a simple script as a WOR and in the MapBasic window RUN APPLICATION ...WOR; you can have several, each one adapted to specific work requirements, including a standard one to return to the original menus.

Hey, be nice. Your solution doesn't *solve* the problem, either. The buttonpads still tear off all too easily.

Anyway, here's an idea. This won't stop buttonpads from falling in your lap, but it makes fixing them easier. Open your MapBasic window and put this in it: alter menu "Help" add "Arrg!!! \tAlt a/W@a" calling 605 This adds a menu option (called "Arrg!!!") below the Help menu that calls the function that display the Toolbar Options dialog box which controls toolbuttons (normally found in two clicks under Options/Toolbars). The "\tAlt a/W@a" just adds an accelerator key to this option (alt-a) so that you can activate it in a single keystroke. Add this menu command to your mapinfo.mnu file and it will come up as a standard menu item every time. (WARNING! If you don't know what you're doing with the mapinfo.mnu file, you'd better not touch it. Screw this up, and MapInfo doesn't run.)

MI updating objects
Dear users, I have a problem of some complexity that I am hoping somebody can shed some light on. I have two tables, one a native mapinfo table and the other an imported access table. Both tables have identical columns, except that the access table has had (a) changes made to some of the records and (b) do not contain any objects. What I am trying to do is update the imported table by inserting the objects from the native mapinfo table. My solution was to loop through each record in the native table and store the id and object as variables, then select the appropriate record from the imported table based on the id and update the object field with the object variable. The problem I suffer at the moment is that the update command refuses to accept the object variable.

FW: MI HELP!
Mappers; Try using a trackball. I have used one for nearly 10 years and would never go back to a mouse. The trackball has numerous advantages. 1. You only have to keep enough desk space clear for the trackball. 2. You can set it up so you can rest your wrist, and in my case my elbow on the arm of my chair. This is very comfortable considering the amount of time I spend at my computer. 3. Most trackball software can be customized to navigate large screens easily. I use a 21" high resolution monitor and have set the acceleration and speed so I can traverse the entire width of the screen with a simple flick of my thumb. At slow speeds, the fine resolution is very good. 4. The software also allows me to program the middle button to do special functions such as double-click with one click, click and hold for dragging, etc. I use the center button for double clicking with one click. I have used Logitech trackballs for years and have used the Trackman Marble since it came out. This is an optically read trackball and hardly ever needs cleaning. The newest model has a scroll wheel that is also very useful. Actually, I use two trackballs, one on my desktop and one on my notebook, both the same model trackball. The one on the notebook works great on airplane tables since the notebook and mouse will both fit on it together and it is so much easier to use that the manufacturer's pointing device.

RE: MI HELP!
Hi! I've been using MapInfo for 4 years and I have developed same problems as you. My remedies are: 1 Like Jaques suggested I have a customised mbx so I can reach common commands from the keyboard. Today I have rewritten the MapInfo mnu-file instead. Helps a lot and it also makes you much faster. Dangerously fast however. 2 I use 2 mouses (mice?). One connected to the serial port and the other on the ps2. You can also use an Y-mouse from P I Engineering but both NT and Win98 supports 2 mice. The advantage is that I can make e g a zoom window by moving one mouse and clicking with the other (the Y-mouse doesn't support that however). 3 I use a "mousetrapper", a mouse tray made in Sweden. Difficult for me to describe it. It's a holder for an Intellimouse and you move the cursor with a rod. You always have the hands right in front of you when using it and it gives support for the wrists. You can see a picture at www.ergoff.se (click on Produkter and Pekdon. It's quit common here. 4 Go to www.tifaq.com It's a very good place to get information of all kind. For example I read something about moving the cursor with the eyes and click by blinking. 5 My experience is to avoid trackballs and touchpads. 6 Maybe most important of all in my experience.

RE: MI HELP!
Good call! I switched about 7 years ago to a left-handed mouse because the keyboard itself is not configured efficiently for GIS or other technical applications.

My comment is way off base compared to others, but I've been a pretty active swimmer for a long, long time and I've never had a wrist or hand problem from also being a mouser for a long, long time. I don't know if swimming is a good cure for the problem, but it's my experience is that it's a good preventative.

Incidentally, that bug has been "raided out" in the 6 beta I have; the p

MI Merging DEM or SDTS files
Hi, I am new to this list and to MapInfo. I was wondering if anyone has come across a utility that will combine multiple USGS DEM files into a single file. I have been experimenting with the MapInfo tool called DEM to grid, and while it works fine, when placing multiple grids into a single workspace, there are lines and artifacts at the borders that are not presentable in a finished map. I know ArcInfo's Imagegrid has a merge function that does this, but I don't have access to this program. Has anyone come across such a utility?

HERE IS THE REVISION : you do not have indeed to use the Alt with the "last

get out of one of these you need the {Alt letter} combination.
I played with all the other options in that dialog, always with the Alt

MI: I lost my .TAB ... ARGH!!!
Hello All, I have lost the .TAB file from the standard 5 mapinfo files. I have a good idea of the 19 column names and types, but am unable to recreate it textually so that I can open the table. I have even created a new table and stolen the .TAB from it, but to no avail. Have I got any chance of doing this? PLEASE HELP!
