MI 5.5 creating custom symbol prob.
Hello Listers, Question: Is anyone having problems creating a custom symbol in MapInfo 5.5? I haven't been able to get this feature to work since I upgraded to 5.5. It worked fine with 5.0. This is what I've tried... the help says to put the bitmap in the Mi95/CUSTSYMB directory. Well my CUSTSYMB directory is under Professional not Mi95, so I have tried to rename it with no success. As well as tried to reinstall MI. I also know that the bitmap symbol wouldn't show up in the custom symbols drop down on the font list unless I restart MI or reload, so that wasn't the problem either. I have also made sure the total size of the bitmap is under 128K. Anyone have any ideas? Any help is appreciated!

MI Automation Error
Hello, I'm writing a ProServer application using Visual Basic language. There is a serious problem that makes my system unstable. I found that a mapinfo instance usually took almost 99% of my cpu resource andcouldn't be released. The corresponding VB error message is "automation error". Is there a way to solve this problem? Anyway to trap the error from mapinfo and kill that instance? Thanks in advance.
MI Thanks
A quick note to say thanks to everyone who suggested work arounds for the Mapinfo to illustrator problems. As many of you had guessed, I'd been down the ghostscript route (I have no budget for AI plugins), but in the end I resolved my problem by going for the good old save window as routine (and I thought I had given that up years ago!!). anyway, now the deadline and trauma are passed I've had a little rummage and its those pesky trutype fonts again no fancy fonts..no problem ...maps appear to go straight into illustrator via more drivers than you could shake a stick at. I have to say I am alittle surprised that MI symbols are so awkward, but I am even more surprised that acrobat reader could read my ghostscript derived PDFs ok but illustrator couldnt...not so portable methinks/ anyway, thanks Russell no-longer balding geologist -- Russell Lawley -- To unsubscribe from this list, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MAPINFO-L" in the message body, or contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Dear List members, I have a problem regarding tables, Using MapBasic, I query a big table with one empty row, in which I want to put the sum of that particular query. As I am using group by command in query, the table is readonly. I do not want to commit the table as user may do many query and so it will take unnessary disk space.

MI SUM: What to do before we format our PC
I have compiled all the answers I received and they are as follows (a few are modified by me): 1) Backup the projects or work you want to save off local drives. 2) All the local drive mapping if the PC is on a network! 3) Write down the Printer specifications / setting if you have changed / modified. 4) If using ODBC Connection , write down the specifications of DSN. 5) In case you are using tools other than the installed, export the following key using REGEDIT HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MapInfo\MapInfo\Professional\tools 6) Or you are not formatting due to MapInfo then export HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MapInfo After exporting the branch you save the file and after formatting the PC , reinstall Windows, and just double click the file, all the information will be restored, even all tools you have entered will be back. 7) Make a backof of following files %windir%\nviews.txt ;named views %windir%\startup.wor;auto load on MI startup stuff These files should be backed up if you've customized them: ...\mapinfo\mapinfow.prj;projections ...\mapinfo\mapinfow.pen;line styles ...\mapinfo\mapinfow.fnt;fonts/symbols ...\mapinfo\mapinfow.clr;colour (?) ...\mapinfo\mapinfow.abb;abbreviations ...\mapinfo\tools\* ;custom/downloaded toolboxes (Use Registry to turn them back) ...\mapinfo\thmtmplt\ThemeTemplate.LST ...\mapinfo\thmtmplt\your_custom_theme1.thm ...\mapinfo\thmtmplt\your_custom_theme2.thm there are also a series of .FTS files in my MI directory which show recent date stamps, but I have no idea what they are for.

RE: MI Degrees, Minutes, Seconds to Decimal Degrees?
Ryan,
If
your text is in cell A1, the Excel formula for:
degreesis
=
LEFT(A1,FIND("-",A1)-1)
minutes is
=
MID(A1,FIND("-",A1)+1,FIND("-",A1,FIND("-",A1)+1)-FIND("-",A1)-1)
seconds is
=
RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND("-",A1,FIND("-",A1)+1))
If you have the patience to type these in once
(say in cells B1, C1, and D1) then you can copy them down your 300
rows.
Finally, if you're not sure about converting the
results to lat/long, see

Re: MI Degrees, Minutes, Seconds to Decimal Degrees?
Ryan, In Excel, you can use the functions RIGHT, MID, and LEFT to extract characters from a cell. For example, if you have 40-30-41 in A1, enter the formula =MID(A1,4,2) in cell B1, and hit enter. The result shown in B1 will be 30. To copy the formula, drag by the small square on the lower right corner of the cursor, from B1 all the way to the last row with data. Use theformula bar help wizard in Excel and it will take you step by step. For example, the above formula instructs to extract the 2 middle values from cell A1, starting at character number 4. Very important, once you get your values in separate columns, highlight them and do a Copy = Paste Special = Values = Save, so youkeep the actual values and not references to another column. Hope I understood your question and this might be of help.

RE: MI Degrees, Minutes, Seconds to Decimal Degrees?
Hi, I just wanted to thank everyone who responded to my original query. I received about 10 emails with many different solutions, and I tried them all out, and they worked. some were more complicated than others, but they worked and that is the key point. So thanks again for your help. I really appreciate it.

MI Label question
Hello list - I have a question in regard to labels. I'm using USGS quad tables, and am trying to angle the labels @ a 45 degrees ... not just a few labels, but thousands. I tried using the autolabel function, placing the labels on the cosmetic layer as objects, then rotating the labels with a .mbx for the MapInfo-L site. This did not produce acceptable results the text was too large only grids in the map window were labeled. Is there a way to change the label orientation in MapBasic, rather than selecting the label one at a time? Thanks so much!

Folks: I suggest we attempt to respect each other and be as civil as possible. I am sure Anthony in fact has a life and an interesting one, and that Sarah is sincerely worried that people far away are in grave danger and hurting; maybe even relatives are in Harm's way. There is no conflict here. I hope we are all friends, maybe sort of like "at work" friends, and if that is the case, then we need to be tolerant of discussions that are not quite on the topic sometimes.

MI SUM: Zoom-To function
Thanks you folks for all your help. The Run Menu Command is pretty much what was required. You learn something new (and essentially basic)every day. The user had two windows, a browser and a mapper. When he chose from the browser, he'd select QueryFind Selection each time to see on the mapper where he was. He wanted to move that command onto a floatable/dockable button and save some clicks. Many thanks to all who responded. Jason Here's the code I used for those interested (subst. in a new command from the menu.def file and put any menu function on a button!)

Re: MI Degrees, Minutes, Seconds to Decimal Degrees?
One can do it in two ways I guess 1. Export the file in Access and delimeter being "-" abd then convert this to .tab format. 2. Save as text and then convert back to Excel with delimeter "-". This should solve the problem Sunil On Wed, 15 Sep 1999, Ryan Richter wrote: I was given an excel spreadsheet that contained around 300 co-ordinates that I need to plot in MapInfo...Problem, the co-ordinates for both latitude and longitude are all in the same cell, separated by a "-". eg. 40-30-41, and the cell format is just general. If anyone has a quick solution to either separate these numbers into three separate columns (then I can easily convert them into degrees, minutes, seconds), or even better, if someone has devised a program that will work in MapInfo to convert a column in this crummy format to decimal degrees I would love to hear about it ASAP. I have downloaded many of the extra MapBasic utilities on this website and found many of them extremely useful. If one of these will do that and I just haven't found it or figured it out please let me know. Thanks to anyone who can solve this relatively simple, yet pain in the butt problem.

MI How to edit a polygon via OLE
Within my PowerBuilder application, I am running an OLE conversation to MapInfo. While in this conversation, I am drawing polygons onto a workspace and then saving them into workspace's cosmetic layer. Later, I am reloading the workspace and I want to edit the polygon with the same add node/reshape type of functionality that the MapInfo IDE provides. I looked inside the Menu.def file and I see the Menu Commands that need to be run. They appear to be //Run reshape menu command ls_MsgToMI = 'Run Menu Command 1601' ioo_OLEPointer.Do(ls_MsgToMI) //Run the add node menu choice ls_MsgToMI = 'Run Menu Command 1723' ioo_OLEPointer.Do(ls_MsgToMI) I am also making the cosmetic layer of my workspace editable but I still am having trouble. I can not get the frame nor the points to to appear around my polygon's perimeter. Has anyone ever tried this and if so how do you pull this off. Or should I be running a MapBasic application to allow me to do this.

Re: MI Label question
Greg The way we do this is similar to the way you started but varies as described. Procedure: - View entire layer that you want to label (so that when you use autolabel, all points are labeled) - "Autolabel" your points - you're probably working with a small-scale map by now so you can set the label size at "1" (although this is not necessary as you'll see from below) - Rotate the labels - Select all labels and zoom into the scale of your required output - Change font size to what you require - Drag all, using one in the field of view as the guide, to the desired location in relation to their respective points (at output scale) Regards Rod Dawney - AUSMEC - Australasian Mineral Exploration Consultants PO Box 183, Albert St PO, Brisbane, Queensland, 4002 AUSTRALIA Phone: 61 7 32100249 Fax: 61 7 32294554 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://www.ausmec.gil.com.au - Greg Lindner wrote: Hello list - I have a question in regard to labels.
