MI Default Units
I have posted a question previously on the list with regard to setting default units with no success. (I was trying to change the settings so that Map, Options, Distance Units - millimetres Map, Options, Area - hectares are the default settings.) Further reading of the manual (never thought i'd see the day.) led me to the mapbasic section of Set Map Statement. I notice in here that there is reference to setting the distance units the area units so that I assume they become the defaults. Question now is how do I get into the syntax of the Set Map Statement so that I can change these settings, then save those changes ? (remember I am not a Mapbasic power user) My aim is to make these settings the default as they are the ones that I have to change every single time I start up Mapinfo. ps. I have tried inputting into mapbasic "Set Area Units "hectare" Set Distance Units "mm", saving these settings. Is there some way I can save these settings to say a "Startup.wor" for them to become the defaults ?

Yep, here it is straight out of the AutoCAD Help file :- 'You can export your drawing in AutoCAD's Drawing Web Format (DWF). A DWF file is a highly compressed 2D vector file that you can use to publish your AutoCAD drawing on the World Wide Web. Using a Web browser, such as Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer, and the WHIP! plug-in provided by Autodesk, others can view your drawings via the Internet (provided you have posted them to an Internet server and the viewer has Internet access). The WHIP! plug-in provides dynamic pan and zoom capabilities.

MI Re: Ordnance Survey Topo Data
Sharon, For the complete picture on all things Ordnance Survey GB check out the web site (http://www.ordsvy.gov.uk). That will give you a pretty good picture of what they have to offer and at what price etc. You will be approaching them at an interesting time as they have recently announced fairly large price reductions on many of the smaller scale data sets. Data pricing is finally beginning to follow the US model - though still a long way to go. Land-Form PANORAMA (see below) has certainly been affected by this change - dropped from £20,000 to £5000 for complete UK coverage! In brief the height data products you need will need to look at are the "Land-Form" products - either "Land-Form PROFILE" (nominally 1:10 000 scale) or "Land-Form PANORAMA" (nominally 1:50 000 scale). They come in 5km x 5km and 20km x 20km tiles respectively. If you ask them nicely they may even work out the number of tiles that cover Glasgow for you - a nice little task for GISLab (sorry guys...its coming your way..!) These products have both contour and DTM variants. They are not currently available in MapInfo format - OS deliver them in either DXF or in their own proprietary format NTF (National Transfer Format). I have heard a whisper on the OS grapevine however that indicates that this situation may very well change soon (soon being a relative term where Government bodies are concerned!) with data being available in the more popular formats. If you need any further info on these products (such as relative accuracies, etc.) then mail me at any time.

I've been trying to track down a supplier for topographic data of Great Britain. I have contacted the Canadian supplier for OS but they directed me straight to the OS (Ordnance Survey) for digital data. So I emailed them and they said I have to phone Britain to get the info I want. So, I'm asking you fine folks for some information. Ideally we are interested in purchasing elevation data/contours/spot heights. I posted an inquiry regarding DXF files last week because I had downloaded a sample file. I still haven't got that working yet but am trusting the fog will clear on that challenge with time. For now, I am looking for a contact who is knowledgable regarding how OS packages their data, if it comes in MI format, how much is it per tile, how many tiles would it take to cover Glasgow? It seems to me, that the scale is irrelevant since the data is so scarce. We'll take whatever scale we can! So, if anyone in MI-list world can help, we would be forever grateful.

It is a simple format, with just our entire catalogue pasted into the body of a single email message, 316K in size. If you use pine or elm on a unix system or an advanced software version such as Eudora Pro 3.0 or later, you will most likely receive it as a single email message. However, if your software limits incoming email messages to a certain size, say 32K or so, then your software will split it into multiple email message parts. Whether you receive it as a single email message or multiple part email messages, you can easily paste it into one whole text document with your word processor, in about 10 minutes or so. 2. For more advanced computer users: attached plain ascii text file ~316K - you must know how to download an attached text file and then be able to locate it on your hard drive or system home directory; it can then be opened with any pc or mac word processing software. If in doubt, don't ask for this version. This isn't for internet *newbies.* Better to order option 1 and spend a few minutes pasting them into one whole text document with your word processor, than to waste hours trying to figure how to deal with this option. This version is great for doing keyword searches and jumping around within the catalogue with your word processing software, if your normal email reading software doesn't allow this.

MI Pictures on buttons
I haven't tried this, but someone pointed to this when I was trying to create custom tool buttons. http://members.aol.com/maptools/custbtn2.html --- I have attached some instructions sent to me by Thomas Gulden. Between his instructions, VB help and MI MB help, I was able to create a couple of buttons. Hope this helps Gerald Kornelsen You just start a new project in Visual Basic and from the Wizard which popped up in my VB 5 choose Active X Document DLL. Visual Basic then arranges the project for you. The main hassle is to create the required resource file (*.rc) which is a kind of container for your bitmap icons. I remember it as a simple ASCII-Text file which you can create and edit with notepad for example. It just contains the required plain text commands to bind your bitmaps into the resource file, which will be compiled (see below). This is the only place where some knowledge of special commands comes in, but all necessary help to do that I could obtain from the MSDN-CD shipped with VB 5 Pro and from the VB online help. Then you have to compile the resource file into a compiled resource file which has a *.res extension. On the VB 5 CD there was a resource compiler included, it was under \Tools\Resource\RC32, the file is Rc.exe. I think there was also a help file for it. Once you have created the *.res file, in VB the only thing you have to do is to choose Add File and specifiy your *.res file. Then the resource file is added to your project. There is no VB coding required (as I can recall) or if, it is very little. Also I remember that for each custom icon you have to bind two bitmaps (one for small one for large icons) into your resource file, the pairs have two consecutive ID numbers. The first number will be the icon ID for your custom button in MapBasic. These icons must be stored locally on each PC that uses them.

MI TEXT LABLES
Is there a way to convert an entire layers labels into text objects without having the whole layer in view? When I do this using the MapBasic applications Labeler or AutoLabeler I get text which is huge. I want the text to be about 7 pt when the map is at a scale of 1:1000. Any help on the subject would be greatly appreciated Thanks, Scott Barling -- To unsubscribe from this list, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MAPINFO-L" in the message body, or contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
