MI Too many open Files.V6..
MI List
I run MI version 6 under NT
In running my interactive Mapbasic application
It comes up with error messages like :-
(APPNAME.MB ) Unable to open FNAME.ID. Too many files open.
The program location and the filename vary depending on the order of the
interactive actions. The occurence seemed to be greater under version 6 than
Version 5.5. With some recent necesary changes to the application the Error
has now become a Brick Wall
I have attempted to be more frugal with the use of files (around 48 tabs)
All files are on my C drive with some 467 mb free
The application uses selection win change handlers and also writes to the
cosmetic layer.
Is there some setting to expand the limit
or another ideas Please
Thanks

Subject: RE: MI Too many open tables...
Hi Brian,
Never did get a response on this one. Thought it would be an easy
answer??!! Looked through as many old archive files as I could, but came up
with nothing.
One of my colleagues asked if I was accessing any of the layers over a
network. I was with this
particular workspace since there were so many and so large. They suggested
moving all the files
to my local machine's hardrive if I had the space. It worked. Maybe this
is your situation
and hopefully can help. If not post the question again, I look forward to
getting a real answer
in case it happens again.
Good Luck,

Subject: MI Too many open tables...
Hi List,
Just upgraded to 6.0 and needed to know how I can increase the number of
files I can open in one workspace.
There are 74 tables to open in my .wor file. It used to work on my 5.5 with
no problems, now it stops towards the end of opening the workspace with the
error " too many files open. can not finish opening." I think I
remember being able to
increase the number in regedit somewhere???
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Sincerely,

MI Heads-up digitizing over raster
I was wondering if anyone has run across a problem like this before. I have a raster image registered in MI 6.0. There are four points being used all with a 0 pixel error. I have two layers created by digitizing over the raster. One contains data points which look good. The second table consists of polylines. The lines at one point were ok but at some point during a redraw or something the lines relocated about 150ft off the original line they were created from. All three maps have the same projection. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. TIA, Brian winmail.dat
MI Selecting a specific area
I would like to be able to select a specific area by geographical coordinates from a data set.

Re: Anyone used MI 6.0 yet again?
Chris, Your contribution to the debate on the future direction of Mapinfo is certainly an interesting view of the macro-environment in which all computer software resides. I can only agree that the desktop software of today will be superceded by the internet-aware products of the future. Wherever the software resides, it should still do what the users need, as quickly and efficiently as possible. High-level discussions of company policy are all very well, but the guys (like me) drafting maps from dawn 'til dusk are the ones who are faced with the time-consuming work-arounds, and the won't-work-at-alls. If drafting presentation-quality maps is a slow, cumbersome process, if it's difficult to output them in the format required (how many users can generate a fully-functioning EPS file - I can't), if WYSI - not-WYG, if what is considered to be core-functionality in other mapping/drafting packages is posted missing, then all that will happen in the internet age is that cartographers will use other forms of software that will. Focus not just on making products internet-compatible, but making sure that in the more competitive situation that will develop over the next few years, Mapinfo remains the software users will chose to work with. In this day and age, people expect improved functionality with each upgrade. In this regard, Mapinfo just isn't delivering.

Re: Anyone used MI 6.0 yet?
Ladies Gentlemen, My company has a large installed base of users, both full installations and distributed run-time versions. We still use Mapinfo 4.1, although we have purchased a copy of each upgrade for evaluation. Each time, I have investigated whether it is worth our while upgrading the whole company to the new version. Are any of you surprised that we have not done so? There has been nothing in v4.5, v5 or now, it seems, v6 to justify the expense. Looking back at the WishList from a few years back, so few of these questions have been properly addressed. All text-objects are anchored top-left, why can't I fix each text-object at a different location (bottom,right for example)?; Lat/longs in d.m's" has yet to be fully implemented (even Encarta WorldAtlas does this); why can't I take a selection of text objects and itaicise them/rotate them/ in bulk?; why can't I copy/move objects but retain horizontal/vertical alignment?; why can't I seamlessly move from editing an object on one layer to an object on another layer? Curving text aling a polyline? Continuous line-styles (that don't stop/start with each line vertex) etc.etc. etc. MBX's have answered some specific questions, but the product itself seems stuck in a rut. A simple analogy from Autocad days might help to illustrate this point. Autodesk used to buy-up utilities produced by third-party vendors, fully implementing the code, seamlessly, into the next upgrade. I presume they paid the third-party vendors who could then move on to the next gap in Autocad functionality. With each upgrade, there was a real boost in functionality; the best of the third-party stuff, and Autodesk's own work; a real commitment to working through the User Group wishlist. If Mapinfo is ever to really challenge AV, or even keep clear of the clutches of smaller, faster-moving companies, it will have to be more responsive to it's user-base. It has been interesting reading the views of so many who use a number of mapping products. How many of you would ditch the others, concentrating on Mapinfo alone - if only Mapinfo v7 was a real and significant improvement that would genuinely justify the change in version number, produce better maps and be faster to use and easier to learn. But even if the improvement was less significant, how many of you would still buy Mapinfo; you wouldn't use it as much as you might, but Mapinfo would still register a sale. The best thing that's happenned to Mapinfo in this office since v4.1? Adobe's PDF writer. Connection to Mapinfo Corp. - None. I can only agree that a new version number for v5 and v6 seems like complete overkill. I despair of any step-change from Mapinfo.

My (albeit small) contributions are based on the fact that I have received useful pointers from the List, and wish to reciprocate in those (sadly few) areas where I have some expertise. It never crossed my mind that I would charge for this - whoever the recipient.

Dear All, Text Object dialog - Text Box - Text SIze I find myself continually peering through my spectacles over the vast distance past my keyboard, over my digitising tablet to my 20" computer screen - just to edit text. The Text box font is so small that I have to lean half-way over my desk just to see if my typing is correct. Do I; 1. make more regular appointments with my optician? 2. get on a "Mavis Beacon-Teaches-Typing" course (the,failed, "do it right first time" approach) ? 3. buy a guide dog and learn braille (long-term solution) ? 4. find some way of increasing the text-box text-size ? Any suggestions gratefully received.

Re. MI dxf-export
Andy, I gave up on Autocad at R13 so I haven't used R14 DXF files. What I do know is that Autodesk started adding all sorts of extra sections to DXF files in R13, with even more in R14 (to do with transferring extra R13/R14 functionality via DXF's). Just to check the basics though, make sure you've saved a "complete drawing" DXF file, not just the entities, the Mapinfo table import needs the full header section to work properly. I haven't got V5.5 yet, but I would have thought that R14 DXF files would be importable by now. Otherwise, ask Steve "more power to his elbow" Wallace to put an R14 DXF import on his WishList.

MI New Civic Addressing software
We have just completed a Civic Addressing system using MapBasic. It has an advanced algorithm to calculate the address numbers, it can reverse the direction of (complex polyline) streets and it automatically labels and numbers street intersections.
