[MI-L] MI-L : Funny One - Is there a way to select by boundary colour?...
Hello All, This is an odd one – I have received a table containing about 3,000 sites. Approximately half of which have been updated and half haven’t. The problem is that the data capture team doing the updates have simply coloured the updated sites red and the left the unupdated ones black – they haven’t added a column to the database unfortunately. As you can imagine manually selecting all the red ones would be a pain as they are scattered amongst the table. Is there anyway or any tool that can select all the “red” site boundaries?? Told you it was a funny one!! Cheers! John Nott Consultant/GIS Analyst ___ MapInfo-L mailing list MapInfo-L@lists.directionsmag.com http://www.directionsmag.com/mailman/listinfo/mapinfo-l
[MI-L] Advise on Plotters
Hello Listers, I am working with a medium sized business and we are looking to get a plotter. We would be hoping to get something of good quality for A1/A0 size plots from MapInfo. As we are still growing we wouldn’t use it that heavily (perhaps 10 plots/week or thereabouts) Has anyone any good experience of reasonably priced plotters for this type of use. Budget is a big consideration but we would like to get a reasonably reliable and high quality plotter which will work well with MapInfo (V8) Thanks for any help!!! - John ___ MapInfo-L mailing list MapInfo-L@lists.directionsmag.com http://www.directionsmag.com/mailman/listinfo/mapinfo-l

[MI-L] MI-L Tool for Batch Opening Large Amount of Tab Files
Hello Listers, I have a massive amount of tab files (from a landline dataset). Which I would like to open to create a base map. However when I highlight all the files to open on the current map, MapInfo does nothing. If I select say 100 of the files to open, then they will open fine but as there are thousands it would take along time to open them this way. Has anyone come across this problem before? Are there any tools that will systematically open a folder full of tab files until they are all open? Any help would as always be very much appreciated.

MI-L RE: Ang. MI-L RE: Ang. MI-L Advanced Labelling
Mats Yes your absolutely right - unfortunately I have been asked to create a map which should probably be done using flash in MI, I though that I could get around it but have hit a brick wall Using the "combine" function I have combined a layer of polygons with points into one entry. The idea is that when I click on the point it highlights the corresponding polygons (this works fine). My problem is that because I have 40 such layers - when I click on the point in layer 5 for example the computer thinks I am clicking on the polygon in layer 1 (which is overlaid on the point). So it highlights layer 1. Sorry this probably doesn't make much sense but what I need is to instruct MI to only allow the user pick the points regardless of what layer they are in. I think what I really need is to learn FLASH or something like it!!! ; - ).

MI-L Advanced Labelling Hi John! When you say 'points and regions combined into a single entry' I assume you mean 'a single table' as I know no way of combining points and regions to a multiple object. But they can coexist in one table, that is true. Incidentally, this is uncommon in the GIS world and I consider that ability to be an advantage, but at times it works against you. Your question points to one case, another is when you need to control the drawing order of regions, lines and points. The same workaround applies to both: Make subselections from the layer so that you separate point objects and region objects into temporary tables. Then arrange the point selection on top (or topmost snappable) and set up the label expression to your needs.

What I would like to do is to assign new attributes to the original polygon of what percentage of each other polygon is within the original one. So basically I need it to say. Polygon A overlaps Polygon X , Polygon Y and Polygon Z. 25% of Polygon X is within Polygon A, 70% of Polygon Y is within Polygon A .. Is this possible? The desired outcome would be to add this data as an extra attribute field to the original polygon dataset. Thanks in advance for all your help. - John John Nott Consultant/GIS Analyst ROGER TYM & PARTNERS Fairfax House, 15 Fulwood Place, London, WC1V 6HU t 020 7831 2711 f 020 7831 7653 e [EMAIL PROTECTED] w www.tymconsult.com The information in this email is confidential.

MI-L Lines to Polygon Conversion
Hello List, I have some Landline files (basically spaghetti line data) and what I would like to do is convert these lines into Polygons. I know that MI Pro has these option however the problem is that the lines although they make building outlines etc. are not captured in such a way that a building outline is one line and then the next building is a different line etc. Unfortunately MasterMap is not available to me which would be an ideal solution but I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts or ideas?

MI-L Area Centroid Coords
Hello All, I have a table derived from a database. Have the points have been created using British National Grid Co-Ordinates and the rest using polygon centroids.

MI-L Scaling the Layout Page
Hello All, I am drawing a map which I need to scale to A0 for printing. However I do not have an A0 plotter. The problem is that when I go to the page setup. I am only offered page sizes that my network printers can handle (A3 max). Is there anyway that I can scale the map to A0 without having the ability to print it??? As usual I am sure there is a very simple answer but I just can't find it!!! Any help much appreciated!

RE: MI-L Réf. : RE: MI-L Layer control tool
Is there any way to automatically set the selected layer to being editable. Maybe with an option to have this feature on or off (ala the ESRI editing environment; seeing as it may not be suitable all the time. I think that would be very useful when tweaking a map with many layers rather than having the layer control open all the time especially for those of us who use the graphics capabilities of MI as well as the GIS. Would be a nice option for version 7.9! Cheers, - John -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 08 December 2004 17:42 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: MI-L Réf. : RE: MI-L Layer control tool the status bar is not very useful when you want to edit thematic maps.. I keep the General tool palette floating, then it's just a clic on the layer tool .. but it would be nice to have it permanently open, as you say. It should also allow for customizable size (when you have a lot of layers)... And since were are talking of wishes lists : when creating thematic maps and using data in a separate table, it's a pain that you have to link the same data table to your geographic table again and again, each time you want to test a new variable. It doesn't help that the link command lies down at the bottom of the variable list and that each time you need to create a link you have to scroll down the whole list. It's also a pain if you want to use manual intervals to create your thematic map instead of automated intervals; now you have to enter each value twice (the higher bond of a class is the lower bond of the next.. so this should be automated) and the cursor doesn't even go automatically to the next value.

MI-L Select by Attribute
Hello All, I have a data set of about 35,000 businesses which I am trying to geocode using a table with all UK postcode centroids. Out of the 35,000 business postcodes about 5,000 do not match as they have wrong postcodes. I am trying to do a query that will highlight all the non - matching ones into a table. I have tried using the <> sign in the original query but to no avail. I suspect that there is quite an easy solution, however I just can't think what it is!!! Any Suggestions would be much appreciated Cheers, - John John Nott Consultant/GIS Analyst ROGER TYM & PARTNERS Fairfax House, 15 Fulwood Place, London, WC1V 6HU t 020 7831 2711 f 020 7831 7653 e [EMAIL PROTECTED] w www.tymconsult.com The information in this email is confidential.

MI-L .PRN files
Hello, I have been sent some .PRN files of MapInfo maps. My understanding of .PRN is that it is a way to share files created in a specific software such as MapInfo or AutoCAD with others who do not have the software, so allowing someone without MapInfo, print a layout or whatever. It is also my understanding that both parties need to have the exact same printers and printer set-ups for this to work. Is this true?? Is there anyway that I can bring these .prn files back into a MapInfo layout and print from there or open and print them in some sort of viewer??
