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 FREE Y2K Unit Mapbasic Code
This is totally free, a must for all MapBasic programmers. This MapBasic source code enables you (the developer) to perform validation and integrity checks on dates entered into dialogs by users. The code checks the date string for a four digit year, none date characters, string to date conversion, blank entry, string length, and also future or 10 year tolerance. This is especially important to ensure your system is year 2000 compliant/capable. The download includes the Y2K_unit.mb, Y2K_unit.def MapBasic source code, also the black box test code, a sample program and instructions. http://www.users.bigpond.com/rambia/index.html Patrick McShane Rambia Pty Ltd, AustraliaGeographic Information SystemsSystem Analysis/Design, Programming and Data Analysis
MI Businesses in Circles
Any suggestions? I'm trying to determine the number of businesses within several circles. I have a TAB file named circles and can get a count of the TOTAL businesses in the circles, however I need the COUNT for individual circles. I believe I could name all the circles and change the names in the Query each time, however that is very time consuming. Any suggestions are welcome.

MI batch pack table
Hi, Does anybody know a way of packing tables in batch mode? I have about 3 thousand to go through. Also, are there any known problems with data integrity when packing tables? I'd hate to pack everything and then find out 6 months or a year from now I've lost data. Or worse yet, not notice at all.

RE: MI Minding Your Business with MapInfo
Gareth, Yes, I bought the book. I found that it was not technically oriented at all. Really was just a very broad look at GIS and what you can do with it. Didn't really explain the concepts of GIS, nor was it imaginative in its discussion of MI/GIS capabilities.

Re: MI MapBasic crashes when I'm linking
Bjorn, Have you tried recompiling each module in the project? You may have modules compiled with different versions of the Mapbasic compiler.

Re: MI Polygon reshaping
Milo, Be sure to check the system preferences (Options menu) for the Map Window. Reshape can be configured to move/not move overlapping nodes from there.

I need to reshape certain mutual boundaries. I digitized the desired shape and using snap mode and reshape function I reshaped a boundary. Reshaping however only applies to one selected polygon. The neighbouring polygon maintains its unreshaped boundary. How to change/reshape a MUTUAL boundary of two polygons at the same time? Milo

Mick, If the minimum bounding rectangle of each building is close in size to the desired square\rectangle, you can use the MBR() function to create a rectangle from the existing poylgon with the following: Update table Set obj = MBR(obj) Hope it helps, Ken Fioretti -- Ken Fioretti Geographic Business Systems (201) 587-1717 -- -- From: SOLOMON ISLANDS POPULATION CENSUS[SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, July 11, 1999 6:05 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: MI - utility for squaring polygons??

MI Landscape printing
Hello,
One solution to printing in landscape mode without user interaction is to
rotate your map by 90 degrees, rotate any labels, then print in portrait
mode. Label rotation is slow for maps with many labels, though.
Map rotation can be performed with the following VB code.
Rotate The Map --
dim sAffine as String
dim sCoordSys as String
dim mapWinNum as Long
dim angleInRadians as double
dim cos as double
dim sin as double
angleInRadians = 90 * PI/180
cos = Cos(angleInRadians)
sin = Sin(angleInRadians)
'Get the map window number, mapWinNum, here.
sAffine = "cos, -sin, 0, sin, cos, 0"
sCoordSys = "Set map Window WindowID(" mapWinNum ") coordSys Earth
Affine Units " + + "mi" + + sAffine
Do (sCoordSys)
--
Rotating the labels is just as simple:
I am assuming that each object in the layer has a label.
-- Rotate The Labels
dim sSetMap as string
dim count as integer
'Set count here to be the number of objects in the layer.
for i = 1 to count
sSetMap = "Set Map Layer layerNum Label Line Object " i " Angle 90"
Do (sSetMap)
next i
--
Now print the map. To reset the map, call the same functions as above with 0
replacing 90.

MI Rotating a selection of labels
I have little familiarity with MapBasic, so could anyone please assist I would like to rotate a selection of my MapInfo labels (there are too many to edit individually). Note: I do not wish to rotate all of my labels (I use a "Discover" utility to do this). I want the labels to remain as "labels" not text objects. I don't mind if my selection for rotation has to be the labels themselves or the related objects. (however selecting the related objects would be easier when there are many).

MI 5.5 and Oracle 8i
On page 377 of the MapInfo 5.5 Users Guide the syntax is given for a 'Tesselation Error Workaround for Oracle 8.1.5'. Firstly, What is the Tesselation Error? The manual ownly mentions how to fix it and does not describe the problem. Secondly, I've entered the workaround but on executing it in Oracle get the error 'invalid column name' refering to the SDO_RTREE_SEQ_NAME column. On investigating I find that the table SDO_INDEX_METADATA_TABLE does not contain this column, or any of those that begin with SDO_RTREE_. What's wrong and what should I do? Do I create these columns in SDO_INDEX_METADATA_TABLE, remove them from the workaround or is there something that I'm missing? Another question, how do I upload a MapInfo table to Oracle 8i Spatial? I cannot find any logical program on the MI 5.5 CD so what .mbx do you use and where is it? Thanks for your help.
