MI MBR or not

Hello to you, I was answering the request of Sebastian Hudson about polygons attribute when I found out something I can't explain to myself. What is the difference between querying the MinX of an object and querying the MinX of the MBR's object. To me, it was the same thing, but I obtain

MI Labels in layout

Hi, I'm very desperate. I put long hours to manually move labels to place them where I like them to be. In my mapper, the working scale is the one of the output. Since I will print a large map (36" x 44"), there is a large difference between what I see in the mapper window (a tangle of

RE: MI Thanks for the QueryN suggestions

Hi Mick, If the query is based on a SQL statement, the query can be saved in the workspace. On the other hand, if the query is based on the user's selection of elements, there is no way for the workspace to keep track of the selection. So it can't be saved even if you give it a name. If

RE: MI French Translation
