MI Importing Map Symbols

Happy New Year to you all I'm interested in seeing if it possible to design map symbols in a graphics package and then import them for use in MapInfo (we're running 4.5.2). Also are there any (Free!!!) on line symbol sets that are available anywhere (I'm thinking of the sort of stuff that is on

MI FW: Learner Plates for Map Basic

Mornin All a quick question. I've been having a play around with the ERR_TABLE_NOT_FOUND function in map basic 4.1 however I cannot find it's use etc documented anywhere in the manuals and I am now kinda stuck also does anyone know how to drop a temporary column from a table ???

MI Data Developers Kit Version3

Hi All got a question about one of the tools in the data developers kit version 3.0. I'm playing with the mapthin utility and I was wondering what sort of thinning algorithm it used. I need to do the processing in (whisper the name quietly PC Arc/Info using generalize as it will run faster). any

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'

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

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

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

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

MI FME

Hi All has anyone used,seen,broken or otherwise played with Safe Software's Feature Manipulation Engine (FME). I'm looking at buying a new data translator and could do with some independant opinions/experinces. I'm particulalry interested in knowing how it handles the Ordnance Survey's National

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

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

Hi All is there any way I can stop a user from resizing a map window or hitting the maximize/minimize/kill options via the top right corner or accessing the context menu from the top left via a right click ??? cheers Jon Jonathan Stokes GIS Analyst *** Geoplan,

MI MapInfo and Windows 2000

Hi Y'all just a query to see if anyone is having any undue problems with WIndows 2000 Professional and MapInfo Pro. I'm running 4.5.2 on a Dell Optiplex pIII 733 with 256Mb of RAM. The only thin i can think of is that the Graphics card memeroy is ridiculously small (4MB) and uses system memory if

MI Count Points in Polys

hey all happy Friday to those of you who are up and roughly in that diurnal frame of reference. just a quickie. Does anyone know how I could get a count of the number of points in a polygon (2 different tables.). am having a go myself but the old grey matter is not working all that well. TIA

MI Date: Mon, 25 Sep 2000 15:46:10 +0100

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

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. Jon oh, and
