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. Sam Kome Sage Software, Inc. - Original Message - From: Milo Simonic To: Mapinfo-l Sent: Thursday, July 08, 1999 1:42 PM Subject: MI Polygon reshaping A table consists of about 70 polygons (non-overlapping). 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
RE: MI Polygon reshaping
Milo: EXTENSION TO MANUAL METHODS: If you turn on the option that moves all common nodes in the same layer when you move one of them, it saves having to move things twice. It will also quickly highlight any locations where the nodes are not coincident and avoids the possibility of your snaps not matching due to twitching fingers. Use Options > Preferences > Map Window and set "Move duplicate nodes in.." to the "the same layer". Hope this helps.

Re: MI Polygon reshaping
You can only reshape both at once if they were created using snap mode. To avoid a lot of extra work, after you have one polygon reshaped, take the neighbors nodes and drag them over the boundary, then erase the second polygon with the first.

Re: MI Polygon reshaping
Milo - The mapbasic way: What I would do is to assign the new lat/long to float variables while you reshape the 1st polygon ( call the objectnodex()and objectnodey() functions ). Then use these values to automatically alter object on the 2nd poly to have the nodes placed in the exact locations of the nodes from the first poly. --OR-- Reshape manually in MapInfo only the first polygon and then have mapbasic reshape the second poly by reading the new node lat/longs ( call the objectnodex()and objectnodey() functions ) The MapInfo Interface Way: What i would do is simply to reshape the first poly manually, then just turn on snap and move the nodes of the second poly to be snapped to the corresponding node on poly1. If there are too many nodes for this to be feasible, I would use MapBasic because that's what its for. Hope this helps at all. >From: "Milo Simonic" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: "Mapinfo-l" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: MI Polygon reshaping >Date: Thu, 8 Jul 1999 19:42:05 +0200 > >A table consists of about 70 polygons (non-overlapping).
