MI A3 to A1 plots
Dear Listers, I have a series of layouts created in A3 landscape. I would like to transfer these 'plots' to fit on an A1 page. IE, 4 A3 Layouts to sit on an A1 page. Could someone please tell me the easiest way to acheive this. I have the following programs at my disposal: Adobe Acrobat Version 4 Adobe Photoshop Version 5.0 CorelDraw Version 8.0 Microsoft Office '97. I have tried using Acrobat distiller and then importing the resultant PDF files into CorelDRAW, but I have had a problem here with resolution - the graphics look fine in Acrobat, but once they come into CorelDRAW, the resolution drops considerably and the result is fairly horrendous. I'm sure this has been dealt with at some stage in the not too distant past, but if someone could throw some light on the problem, it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance Regards, Ben. -- NOTICE: This message contains privileged and confidential information intended only for the use of the addressee named above.

MI Accessing Workspaces served by an NT Version 5.5
Hello, I'm having a problem. When I access my Workspaces that I have saved on my NT Server 4.0 with MI 5.5 running in server mode, they are not showing up on the client machines attached to the network without recreating each one. I have 1 client attached which runs MI 4.5 on a Win 98. I have saved my workspaces on the NT server using 5.5. When I access them from the client I have to recreate each workspace and save it from the client machine to be able to access it as a whole workspace. When I go back to the server to look at them I have to repeate the same process and rebuild each work space which eliminates the ability for me to go and see them on the client machine. Is there away to avoid this irritating process? I have 1000's of workspaces created on the server that I would have to do this to each time I moved from the server to the client to access them. I also want to access this MI data from other clients attached to the network as we add user machines to it. Michael Scott McGinn Nexus Ag Chemicals Inc.
MI Re: virtual city software
Robert, Re: Virtual City SW A couple of years ago I tested a MI plug in called PAVAN. It plugs in to MI like other external apps (say, Named Views) but it's much cooler. I used it with local building footprint data and DEMs to recreate a 3D image of a neighborhood I was working with. I never got to the draping of photos over the building fronts and that sort of thing, but you could walk through the image, look down from any height or angle, etc. It worked by loading into MI and had it's own pull down menus that allow you to set up the image you want. Then you compile the image and look at it with a browser plug in called CosmoPlayer. The "real" application is to get these images on web sites (thus the browser connection), but it's easy to use "locally," too. The compiled image material is very compact in size, allowing easy downloads for those web applications. The person who worked on this is Steve Smith (Steve, you there?). He's located in Wales and he was a pretty regular participant in this list for quite a while. They had a web site, but I can't remember the URL this minute. You'll be able to find it though, there aren't too many PAVANs out there, I'm sure. If you're interested drop me a line and I'll find out more about it by looking through my files. -- To unsubscribe from this list, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MAPINFO-L" in the message body, or contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Guys and gals, I am looking to obtain digital map data for Saudia Arabia - at a nominal scale of at least 1:50,000. I would also be interested to hear if any of you have any data of a greater scale for the Riyadh area. I would ideally prefer this data in MapInfo .TAB format but would accept data in any of the other major formats (e.g. ESRI .SHP). I would prefer vector data but would accept raster if that was available Please let me know if you have any data for this area and at what scale. Please also let me know prices and modes of delivery. We need this data fairly quickly so this data needs to be available now. Gareth Hardman Saturn Technologies
MI MapX newbie with Visual C++ problem
Dear all, I have a question regarding the use of MapX within Visual C++. This is my first day of MapX programming so any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I have a problem passing non-variant types to Set Methods. For example: The DisplayCoordSys.Set method requires parameter 2, the Datum, to be of VARIANT type. The problem is that Datums are represented by the CMapXDatum class, but these can't be cast to COleVariant (part of MFC). How can I set the datum property in DisplayCoordSys? Many Thanks Mark Jones Saturn Technologies Ltd. Ringwood Hants UK
Re: MI sql selecting text (partial)
Dear Mike Yes Mapinfo offers two wildcards just like DOS. The equivalent to DOS ? is _(underscore). ie represents 1 ( any 1 ) character. The equivalent to * is %(per cent). This can represent from 0 to any number of chars. So if you search for %Main% you will get all of your Mains. When MI does such a fuzzy search it cannot take advantage of indexes so depending on your table size you might find this slower tan standard searches.

Re: MI MapImagery
G'day Maxine, I have worked with this product since the early beta's and can give it a big thumbs up. It enables a clean system with only one format/set of image data required. Go easy on the 'supersampling' setting as high values can result in slow/no plotting. This feature was originally introduced as a clever fix to MapInfo's past behaviour of dithering images to 256 colour when plotting. I recently used MapImagery & ER Mapper compression to reduce 1200Mb of orthophotos to 80Mb, with outstanding results & performance.

Dear Tom In MapInfo run a query where:- ObjectInfo(obj,1) = 10 put output into say WSAtext then delete al in WSAtext which will also delete the records in the main table. If you use the above code in MapBasic then include "MapBasic.def" then you can select with ObjectInfo(obj,OBJ_INFO_TYPE) = OBJ_TYPE_TEXT The MapBasic.def defines the values as 1 and 10. In MapInfo you have to use the numbers.

Title: RE: MI - selecting text objects Dear all, Thanks for the answers to date. Both Chris Perry and Brian Forrester werre on the right track, although Bob Young offered another solution. Anyway, here's the one that worked for me: Assuming your MpInfo table is called YOUR_TABLE , Just use the SQL Select function (Query > SQL Select): Select * From YOUR_TABLE Where Str$(obj)="text" And that's all there is to it. You can do the same for line, polyline, region, point, etc Thanks again for everyone's help. Tom
Re: MI MapImagery
MapImagery has become more stable with the latest release (6.040 October 13 1999). We find it a great product for viewing ECWs in MapInfo (also supported with a raster handler and now to ship with MapInfo) and for opening ERMapper algorithms in MapInfo. Turn off progress bar under Options>General tab - unecessary to draw attention to load time as ECWs load very quickly. > > > I have just downloaded the ERMapper plugin for MapInfo (MapImagery) and am > wondering if anyone else has used it? > I would appriciate your comments and suggestions > Cheers > Max > > Maxine Maguire > GIS Officer > Main Roads > Northern District > 146 Wills Street > Townsville > QLD 4810 > > Phone: (07) 47 207 387 > Fax: (07) 47 207 211 > > > -- > To unsubscribe from this list, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put > "unsubscribe MAPINFO-L" in the message body, or contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Justin Hyland, Ph.D. ComputaMaps, PO Box 13190, Mowbray, 7705 Cape Town, South Africa tel: 27-021-423 1609, fax: 27-021-423 1603, cell: 083-763-8029 e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] URL: http://www.computamaps.com -- To unsubscribe from this list, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MAPINFO-L" in the message body, or contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

MI: virtual city software
I have been asked by a client about software that you can create a virtual city to look at proposed changes. I have seen a few references about creating landscapes, and some such as virtual frontier to put 3D buildings into the landscape as blocks. He has seen an Autocad add on that allows embedding buildings that look real? Any pointers?

MI Crystal Reports
Hi, I am wonering if anyone else has come across this problem and if so if there is a solution. I have installed Mapinfo 5.5 on a Windows NT4 PC but I cannot generate a new report using Crystal reports from within Mapinfo.I can open and use Crystal reports external to mapinfo and if I create a report externally I can then open that report from within Mapinfo. However once I try to generate a new report it gives a an error message on Mapinfow.exe access error Violation and closes down Mapinfo. I have tried installing it a number of times using both custom and typical installations with the same result. In an attempt to find out if it was something to do specifically with NT, I then installed it on a Windows 95 PC but the same problems reoccurs. The details of the error message here is as follows: - Mapinfo caused an invalid page fault in modulle mscrt.dll - Mapinfo caused an invalid page fault in modulle kernel32.dll. If anyone can help it will be appretiated, Regards Barry Doyle -- To unsubscribe from this list, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MAPINFO-L" in the message body, or contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
