I mean the ID's can be such as......for first object in the table ID=1, for second object in the table ID=2... and so on. One way is to go to the table and add the numbers manually. But the objects are in a large number to be added manually. I will be thankful if I get a simply approach to it. looking forward for a kind reply. with regards, abhas ----- Original Message ----- From: "Apers Mathieu" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Mapinfo-L" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, June 29, 2004 5:58 AM Subject: RE: MI-L Multiple labels for a single object Thanks to everyone who replied. it looks like the simplest way will be for me to duplicate the table and disaggregate it, which i will do Cheers all Mathieu Apers -----Original Message----- From: Uffe Kousgaard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 29 June 2004 1:20 AM To: Mapinfo-L Subject: Re: MI-L Multiple labels for a single object From: "Jacques Paris" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > I think that you would need to build a special table just for > labelling by exploding (disaggregating) all your regions while keeping > real donuts as one region. (option "retain holes in regions" of the > "objects | disaggregate" menu command" ) This function ("retain holes") was new in MapInfo 6.5. For earlier versions you can grab a copy of our ToolBox, which will perform the same operation for MI 4.5 - 6.0.
