MI ellipse object creation behavior

I would like to create ellipses -- circles, actually -- of a specific radius by the click-and-drag method. The open Ruler window indicates a radius, but upon releasing the mouse button the radius of the resulting circle is not that length: it is shorter when the zoom is wider than the circle and

MI VM: edit Z of individual pixels?

I've a series of DEMs (USGS origin) that need some editing. How can the Z value of a particular pixel be changed? My goal is to smooth obviously incorrect values with their neighboring values. Here's what I have been able to do (using VM2.1.1/MI5.5, no MB yet): 1. Successfully selected out-of-

MI: Georeg.mbx gives "...invalid registration" error?

I'm trying to open a scan of a map as a *.tif and register it. However, Georeg balks and gives an 'invalid registration' error. How can the registration be invalid? There _is_ no registration! What is most perplexing is that I've performed this little procedure several times before. By contr

MI: tfwread.mbx, a warning

I've been vexed for some time by various raster images not aligning correctly along edges or when overlain. You may have read some of my queries to this list made while searching for an answer. Here is the answer: I'd been using tfwread.mbx to import the tiffs. This was apparently a bad move.

MI projecting on the fly

It was my understanding that vector coverages in different projections can be mixed willy-nilly, technically speaking, within a map window, and each would be reprojected on-the-fly to that windows projection as defined by the raster base projection. In a discussion with technical support at a com

MI cannot update column

I'm perplexed. I'm unable to perform an Update Column on a *.tab file with data from another (properly joined) *.tab file. When I try to update the desired column I receive an "unable to update table" error message, when I try to update a temporary column it is filled with 0's. The target table

MI regions are lines in thematic map?

I'm trying to create a thematic map of a table of polygons, but the only available display style parameters are for lines. The result is solid colored regions. What gives? I wonder if the creation method had some effect: 1. Drew polygons 2. Converted them to polylines for editing 3. Co

Thanks to all those who responded. Several suggested that the crash was caused by a bug with VM; UT would work with VM not running. A patch was created for the bug and is included in recent versions of MI. I am using MI 5.0 and thus the solution had to be sought elsewhere. Today's solution: Ma

MI: Overlay symbols
