[MI-L] PCX files
Hi All, I have just come across a curious problem with MapInfo 8.5. I have a set of registered pcx raster files on a network drive. If I try and open the tab file, MI crashes with a fatal error. If I copy the pcx and tab file to my C drive the table opens fine. If I convert the network pcx to a tif (and amend the .tab accordingly) then the table opens fine. The network pcx/tab files worked fine with MI 7.5. Has anyone else had come across this?

[MI-L] Refreshing a map after deleting objects
I am drawing some polylines in a layer called Predictions. When I toggle a button I want all the polylines to disappear. In fact I'm happy to kill the whole table. I am using the following code where I have 4 lines of code that I thought would have wiped the polylines off my map. However, even with all these different methods, the polylines still stay in view on the map. For cownt = 1 to NumTables() If TableInfo(cownt, TAB_INFO_NAME) = "Predictions" Then Remove Map Layer "Predictions" ' should remove the layer from the map Drop Map Predictions ' should get rid of the map layer completely Drop Table Predictions ' should delete the table/layer completely Update Window WindowID(WIN_MAPPER) ' should refresh the map window Exit For End If Next If I zoom in or out, or even open the Layer Control box & press OK, the polylines from the Predictions layer on the map disappear, so the code above is actually working, but none of the methods will get rid of the polylines. Does anyone know any more methods that will work? I'm almost desperate enough to force a zoom at the same scale as the map window is already, but only as a last resort. I am using MI 8.0 & MB 8.0, but would prefer a solution that will work with MI 4.5 if possible.

RE: [MI-L] Refreshing a map after deleting objects
David, Make sure that you haven't turned off the Map Redraw and forget to turn it on again. This is done with the "Set Map Redraw Off" command. If you have used this remember to turn it on again with "Set Map Redraw On" You could also try changing your "Update Window WindowID(WIN_MAPPER)" to "Update Window frontWindow()". I assume that the front window is the map window in question here I have seen this behaviour myselv a few times, and have also in some cases been desperate enough to do a change of zoom thru MapBasic to update the map.

[MI-L] Re: Custom Symbols
Hi, I have read your past postings on reloading custom symbols to a shared folder so everyone can access it and it works for the people in my office, but when I tried to send the following the mabasic command to someone in another office it's not working for them. I used this in the Startup.WOR file: !Workspace !Version 400 !Charset WindowsLatin1 Reload Custom Symbols from "S:\Map_Info\CUSTSYMB" They do have a different drive then what we have here but we changed it accordingly but still nothing. Any other explanations as to why? Any info would be great, thanks! Mark ___ MapInfo-L mailing list MapInfo-L@lists.directionsmag.com http://www.directionsmag.com/mailman/listinfo/mapinfo-l
[MI-L] Features of MI 8.5 and GeoRSS Coming Soon
GISCafe's Susan Smith interviews Moshe Binyamin (senior product manager for MapInfo) about some of the more interesting features of MapInfo v. 8.5 at http://www10.giscafe.com/nbc/articles/view_weekly.php?articleid=288694. One thing that caught my eye was that now that MapInfo supports XML and HTTP, it looks like they're going to provide a GeoRSS reader as a MapInfo utility. These new network capabilities seem to me to be a wide-open opportunity for integrating MapInfo into all sorts of distributed information applications. ___ MapInfo-L mailing list MapInfo-L@lists.directionsmag.com http://www.directionsmag.com/mailman/listinfo/mapinfo-l
[MI-L] Geo Referenced TIF Files
Title: Message Another basic question from me I have been able to open and use Geo-Referenced TIF files with my Map Info 7.5. BUT it seems like when the TIF files have an accompanying TFW file, I cannot get the TIF to geo-reference. How do I open them? What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

RE: [MI-L] Geo Referenced TIF Files
Title: Message I believe there is a utility available on the Directions Mag site that will read a world file (TFW, JPW etc..) and create a TAB file from the info. If you need to convert in batch, i created a batch converter that I would be happy to share with anyone interested.

RE: [MI-L] Features of MI 8.5 and GeoRSS Coming Soon
GeoRSS is interesting stuff, but I'd rather MapInfo first fix basic stuff in Pro which doesn't work properly or is woefully inadequate by modern Windows app' standards.
