RE: MI-L Problems with Tool Manager MapInfo V6.0
Sheila am having much the same problem with Windoze NT 4.0 (SP5). if i add tools using the tool manager and set them to autoload (i.e Universal translator, ArcLink etc). they disappear after i have shut down and restarted MI. so nay solutions ideas i'd love to hear them as well.

hi listers I am using mapinfo 4.5.2 to merge approx 500,000 polygons based on a column value using the "Table Combine Objects Using Column." It keeps crashing out giving me the error message "Error Overlaying Objects." The data looks Ok in another package which would normally faint at the sight of even vaguely dodgy MapInfo. My question is has anyone else encountered problems like this at all with that version of MapInfo and is there a possibility it is the software and not the data. cheers Jonathan Jonathan Stokes GIS Analyst Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: www.geoplan.com Phone: +44 (0) 1423 722715 Fax: +44 (0) 1423 525545 Yellow Marketing Information Limited 14-15 Regent Parade Harrogate North Yorkshire HG1 5AW UK Confidentiality: This e-mail and its attachments are intended for the above named only and may be confidential.

Thanks firstly to Tom Manson and Patrick Phillips If you open a workspace the order of layers is determined from the 'map from ...' statement If you just open a load of tables in Mi it puts them in a quasi logical order (points on top lines next then polygons) as for the layer ids. the topmost layer is always 1 (say roads) the second 2 (say counties) the nth n (say the sea). if you alter the layer order via mapbasic (or in the layer control dialog) for example by moving the nth layer to the top it (the sea) assumes the layer id of 1 once the alter layer order operation is complete. friday 1 hour to a three day weekend Cheers to all Jon Jonathan Stokes GIS Analyst *** Geoplan, 14 - 15 Regent Parade, Harrogate, North Yorkshire, HG1 5AW. tel 00 44 (0) 1423 722715 fax 00 44 (0) 1423 525 545 www.geoplan.com *** -- 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 Universal Translator
Hi All am using the Universal Translator from 4.5.2 (NT 4.0 sp5, PII 333) to translate shape files (the shape file has a few thousand points in it) into native MapInfo. the files were built into points in ArcView from text files using the 'Create Event Layer' command and then saved as shape files straight from ArcView. Every time i run the UT it crashes out on the files (Dr. Watson Message). below is an example of the output in the mutlog file. Universal Translator (19971015 - Build 231h) Opened Shape File D:\Dev\Data\temp\sxtp2r30.shp for input Unable to generate mapping file. interestingly enough I've tried it the other way - using "create points" in MI on the text files and then trying to translate them to Shape via the UT - again a crash with a dr watson message. i recently had a trial version of FME 300 on my machine and i wondered if that might have caused a prob but i've uninstalled MI FME and then put MI back on. am extremely puzzled !!!

RE: MI Copying Boundary Lines.
Or the other one is a digitising trick but as effective (sometimes) switch the node snapping on - (hit s), select the polygon tool then move the cursor over the first point you want to digitise from, get the snapping cross hairs to appear and click to create a new node. then move to the last point on the existing polygon you want to digitise to and again move the cursor over the point so that the snapping 'cross haris' appear - then hold down shift whilst clicking. the boundary of the new oject will automatically 'snap' along the entire lenght of the new object between the 'start' and 'end' nodes. i find it better to do this is in a couple of stages than all at once. Jonathan -Original Message- From: Martin Roundill [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 07 April 2000 06:35 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: MI Copying Boundary Lines. Hi Myles I find the easiest way to do this is in fact not to digitise it. Instead digitise a polygon that goes inside the original polygon, set the target to the new polygon, select the existing polygon(s) and use these to erase the overlap. The result is that the new polygon exactly agrees with the existing polygons. (Either that or you get the dreaded "error overlaying objects" message which indicates that the original data isn't as clean as you thought) simply and stacks quicker than digitising all the little bits.

RE: MI thanks
Hi all there is a slightly easier way of doing this. If you look at the bottom on the left hand side of the mapinfo window there is a box with "Zoom ,numbers" in it and there is a little blavk arrow head next to it. Click on the arrowhead and you can select either zoom level, map scale or curser location.

MI Splitting Polylines
Afternoon All (depends on your spatial location obviously) I've just done a split operation in MI 4.5.2 but some of the lines have remained 'joined.' that is they are the polyline equivalent of complex regions (where you have multiple polys for one record in the attribute table). i need to split these up completely as i have to have one line in the table for each spatial object. i could port the whole lot into ArcInfo (PC version via e00) and then back again which would sort it but it seem like a load of hassle any ideas ? TIA and will sum (damn i haven't done the last one - expect it about 5.00pm when i am really desperate to go home). Jon.

MI FW: Selecting Polylines WIthin Polygons (SUM)
Hi All as i promised that sum (i'm bored with registering raster images now) Only one of the answers appeared to work (and that not completely - i'm still tinkering. Many Thanks to Russell Lawley. Anyway here is the original Question Hi Listers an object geography type question for y'all I have a set of polygons and a set of polylines. The objects in the polyline table fall into two categories. One lot run contiguous to the boundaries of the Polygon coverage (imagine the Polygon covergae after a 'convert to polylines' operation and that is them). The other lot of polylines are not do not run contiguous to the Polygon boundaries and are in fact completely enclosed by those polygons. What I need to do is select all those polylines that are 'within' the polygon boundaries so I can create a new dataset. I have tried various SQL spatial statements but they do not seem to be achieving what I need TIA and will sum And the Answwer save a copy of your polygon table and then turn all thos polygons into polylines (i'm calling this table "edges"). now pack the table with the two types of line (polylinetab), add a new column and then update it with rowid so that each of your lines has an identifier (say LINEID). now write out the following SQL to the SQL window SELECT sum(objectlen(overlap(polylinetab.obj,edges.obj) , "m")) "RL_TEST" , polylinetab.LINEID FROM polylinetab,edges WHERE polylinetab.obj INTERSECTS edges.obj GROUP BY polylinetab.LINEID run the query. this will give you grouped table showing an amount of overlap and a LINEID for all the polylines that have an overlap, with the EDGES of your polygons. lines that only intersect the edges, not run along them, will have an overlap of 0m and they will have be grouped together in the row with an RL_test = 0 NOW, you have to save that query result as a table . Open it, DELETE the row that contains an RL_test = 0 (remember, it has grouped all the lines that do not overlap, into this one record!) now run a query to select from the polylinetab all thos records whos lineID is NOT in the query result. select * from polylinetab where NOT lineid in (select lineid from queryX) Plus, I forgot to mention, that because it calculates an overlap, if some of your lines are semi concordant with the edge lines you can also pick out these by selecting lines with an RL_test (overlap) greater or less than a certain value...(but dontforgetthre will be several lines with rl_test = 0..NOT just the lineid quoted in the resultin query!) -- To unsubscribe from this list, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MAPINFO-L" in the message body, or contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
