MI SUM: Splitting Maps
Thanks to those who responded.
ORIGINAL QUESTION
I have a map covering a large area which I need to divide into A3 "pages" that will
print at a resonable scale. The electronic file/s needs to be so that joining lines
can not be changed or lost. Also an overlap between eage page would be great.
ANSWERS
1) it's really easy to do, you have to make a file that will help you to select your
area and your scale for printing. You will create rectangular object that will contain
the part of the area you want to insert in your layout.
example
my area is the river rhône and the rectangular object represent my A3 pages at a
specific scale, so i select the rectangular object, i know the zoom level and the
rignt coordinate of the object and i can print without any problems.
Good luck and sorry for my english
2) Select the printer you will use as your default and the correct orientation.
Select WINDOW, NEW LAYOUT WINDOW, select NO FRAMES, then select LAYOUT,
OPTIONS. Select the number of horizontal and vertical pages you need. Use
the FRAME tool on the drawing menu to draw your map over all the pages.
They will print out edge matched.

MI Mi Splitting maps
Dear Mappers,
I have a map covering a large area which I need to divide into A3 "pages" that will
print at a resonable scale.
Would somebody mind suggesting preferred ways of doing this.
The electronic file/s needs to be so that joining lines can not be changed or lost.
Also an overlap between eage page would be great.
I'm sure its easy, I've just never done this and would appreciate an initial guide.
Thanks in anticipation.

MI Unable to save table from SQL select
Dear friends, I have created a query: select all from redtable, blue table where redtable . field1 = blue table . field1 which works fine, however I cannot save the query as a table, I get an "unable to save table" message. When I save the query it does not save all fields, as expected it relies on using the fields from the original tables. I'm sure its simple, any advice appreciated.

MI SUM Buffer ten minute driving distance
Original Question: I am needing to create a buffer with varying distances dependent on driving time ie. the distance travelled in ten minutes. Replies: The main theme of replies was to try purpose built software such as: RouteView ( http://www.mapcentric.co.uk ) Router Engine ( http://www.ksf.kiev.ua/prodmain.htm#Router ) DriveTime ( http://www.DiabSoft.com ) Iso-Route ( http://www.saturn-technologies.com/isoroute.htm ) Jacques Paris also suggested the following: Buffer() and Create object as buffer, two ways to program buffer creation, as well as the ObjectsBuffer menu item can read the width of the buffer from a variable (=column). You just have to prepare such a column i your table, or if you write a progam to generate the value according to the parameters you want. Thanks to all those who replied.

RE: MI SUM: Housekeeping
Thanks to all who responded. It seems there are many ways to structure directories with workspaces and tables, depending on how tidy a person you are. However in sum check the following: Have a look at Workspace Control at http://www.4thbeachsoftware.com (thanks again Peter) From the replies it seems as though the best way to "keep it all together" is to establish a system like one of the following (well described by James). 1) Store all your main mapping tables like streets, city boundaries, block groups, etc in one main folder. I personally break this down a bit for speed - Major Roads, Highways and Interstates are stored at the US level (in a folder called USA) and larger files (like streets, streams rivers, block group boundaries) are broken down and stored by state. The directory structure looks something like the following: \Mapping Data \Mapping Data\USA \Mapping Data\USA\Boundaries \Mapping Data\USA\Highways \Mapping Data\USA\Water - Oceans and major lakes only \Mapping Data\USA\Data - demographic data files (dbf) \Mapping Data\States\Texas\Roads - the streets go here \Mapping Data\States\Texas\Water - streams, rivers For individual projects I create a folder for my client and then subfolders under them for individual projects. When I make a map the workspace and any files specific to that workspace (road labels, trade areas, etc) are stored in the same folder as the workspace. The directory structure looks like this: \Clients\Client 1 \Clients\Client 1\Project 1 \Clients\Client 1\Project 1\Workspace 1.wor \Clients\Client 1\Project 1\Highway Labels.tab \Clients\Client 1\Project 1\Trade Area Boundary.tab This system has served me very well over the years - you just have to make sure people understand that the main mapping files are _not_ to be moved. Overall, this keeps file sizes down, data duplication to almost nothing and ensures that workspaces always open. I generally assume that anything I created several years ago should open just fine today - and it usually does. You need to plan out your directory structures carefully but, if you do, you should have very few problems with file locations. -Original Message- From: Laith Wark [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, 22 October 1999 15:26 To: MapInfo List Serve (E-mail) Subject:MI Housekeeping A housekeeping question.

That record is now geocoded. Repeat the process 170 times.

I have a map in a particular projection (AMG Zone 56 (AGD 84)). I have a table with 171 entries whose only spatial attribute is a local map reference (eg Map12, A7 or Map 9, M3). I have a hard copy map (local map reference) with each entry marked in its correct location. I need to geocode each entry. Given there is only 171 entries, I am prepared to do each one manually, by eye. This seems the fastest way. Not sure how to do this, any suggestions?? OR, is there a better way? Thanks in advance.

MI Workspaces E-Mailing
Thanks for all the helpful replies regarding e-mailing workspaces. After reading all the replies I have chosen two which represented the two main options for preparing workspaces to be e-mailed. These replies are pasted below. FIRST METHOD (By Brian Forrestor) What you need to do is move the workspace and all of the tables into a single sub-directory then.. use a decent text-editor to edit the .WOR file. The .WOR is made up of three main sections; 1. File Opens 2. Map Window organisation 3. Cosmetic Layer stuff This should be clear if you scroll down through the file. You need only edit the "Open Table" lines by taking out all directory/sub-directory references - Open Table "u:\mapping\prod\coastlin\Pathwrld" As Pathwrld Interactive Open Table "u:\mapping\prod\coastlin\US_State" As US_State Interactive in this case I would delete the u:\mapping\prod\coastline to leave Open Table "Pathwrld" As Pathwrld Interactive Open Table "US_State" As US_State Interactive You can also use this to change the path to the .TAB if someone has, helpfully, moved one of your tables to a different sub-directory (happens to me all the time). The Interactive statement at the end of the line is supposed to let you search for the file if it is not in the stated sub-directory. However, this has never been very successful with me. I'd rather just edit the file directly. SECOND METHOD (By Sue Port) We have a free program called Copy Plus that copies workspaces. It was designed for copying MapInfo data to a CD or laptop however it could be usedfor emailing. If you use Copy Plus and zip up that directory with the newly copied workspace in it and keeping the directory structure (an option of most zip programs), the person receiving the email would only need to unzip it. Copy Plus should eliminate the problem you are having with the seamless table. The seamless table (roadmap) is calling other tables that haven't been copied. To download a free copy of Copy Plus go to our website at http://www.spatialplus.com/products.htm = Laith Wark EDAW (Aust) P/L Design, Planning and Environments Worldwide Level 4 Rowes Building 235 Edward Street Brisbane 4000 Australia Ph: INT +61 (0)7 3229 6422 Fx: INT +61 (0)7 3229 6422 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] = -- To unsubscribe from this list, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MAPINFO-L" in the message body, or contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
MI Workspaces E-mailing
A simple question. I am trying (for the first time) to send a workspace via e-mail. The workspace was made of tables from various drives and folders. However, I have now saved all the tables to one folder in order to simpilfy sending. But I am having trouble getting the workspace to open the moved tables. The error message reads as: Attempt to open table roadmap seamless failed Is there a simple way to save and send a workspace with relevant tables and maintain its integrity? ie the workspace can 'find' all the relevant tables after sending. Or does the recipient always need to save the tables him/herself and redefine paths? Thanks in advance.
