Re: MI-L MaoInfo Area Calculator
If I understand correctly, you'll need to convert the outlines to regions first. If the outlines originated in OS [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mastermap mapping then they may not be closed. There's commercial software - PolyWiz - which converts OS vector maps to regions of land, water, roads and buildings. Then add a column to the table to contain the size of the objects and use something like Alter Table "mytable" ( add area Float ) Interactive Update mytable Set area = CartesianArea(obj, "sq m") - List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message number: 13528
Re: MI-L "Unable to update table xxx"
Interesting...
I just tried this (on Mapinfo 6.5 running on Windows 2000) and it worked
fine. So it looks like the proble may be with Mapinfo 7?

Hi
The error reported when the table is saved is as follows:
'Unable to update table , Operation cancelled'
It doesn't cause the Mapinfo session to end, just deletes the transaction
files for the table currently being edited. The transaction files would be
deleted if the save proceeded according to plan, once the changes had been
written to the base table files. It looks like the process is being
interrupted by the error such that the transaction files are deleted
before the base table is updated, and the edits are lost.
To be more precise about the sequence of actions that produces the error,
I have written a workspace appended below:
!Workspace
!Version 650
!Charset WindowsLatin1
create table tabCheck (ID integer) file tempfilename$("")
create map for tabCheck
insert into tabcheck (obj) values (mbr(createline(0,0,2,2)))
insert into tabcheck (obj) values (mbr(createline(1,1,3,3)))
commit table tabcheck
map from tabCheck
set map zoom entire layer tabcheck layer tabcheck editable on
note "Two overlapping objects created"
select * from tabCheck where rowid=1 into temp
set target on
select * from tabCheck where rowid=2 into temp
note "First object set to be a target, second object selected"
objects erase into target
note "Erase operation performed"
delete from selection
Note "New object deleted"
run menu command 201
Note "Deletion undone"
commit table tabCheck
After the final "Deletion undone" message, the workspace attempts to save
the changes to the table. At this point, the error message should appear.

RE: MI-L MI and statistical packages
The easiest way to import DWG files to MapInfo is probably to use the Universal Translator. However, this has problems with new versions of the DWG file specification. Many problems can be solved by saving the dwg file in AutoCAD v12 format. This does have the downside that some functionality of the dwg file may be lost. The following article in Autodesk's support site may be some help: http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/item?siteID=123112&id=2896122&linkID=2475323.

MI-L "Cleaning up" agrregated areas
I'm working with a lot of areas which are made from smaller areas which have been combined together. The small areas were originally digitised and are supposed to meet along common boundaries. Due to small errors in the digitisation, the combined areas contain small holes.

Re: MI-L Problem opening Mapinfo tables in MapX application
Thanks to all the many people who replied to my query. I think a bit of clarification might help. The .tab files which we have problems with are exported from within the MapX application. They contain graphics and are associated with a dbf, id, ind and map file. As suggested by Uffe Kousgaard, I ran a problematic .tab file through the tab2tab utility. The resulting tab file opened perfectly. A comparison of the .tab files shows that the problematic one has a header: !table !version 3.00 !charset WindowsLatin1 Definition Table Type DBF Charset "WindowsLatin1" Fields 42 and the "fixed" one has a header : !table !version 300 !charset Neutral Definition Table Type NATIVE Charset "Neutral" Fields 42 Further testing shows that changing the version from 3.00 to 300 is itself sufficient. I have passed this back to the software writers.

MI-L Problem opening Mapinfo tables in MapX application
We use a custom-built MapX application for data management, and also use MapInfo for map production and editing of background tables. Occasionally, when opening these background tables in the MapX application, the following error is generated: "Table is not mapable. Make sure table has an object column. If table is a server table, make sure that there is an entry in the mapinfo catalog for it." Generally, opening the offending table in Mapinfo and saving with a new name will resolve this. I have spoken to our in-house software people who wrote the application and they are unsure what causes this error. So I'm hoping someone else may know.

I guess it depends what you're trying to achieve.

Re: MI-L Problem with georeferencing MrSid files
The way I've gone about this before is to use the standalone MrSID viewer from www.lizardtech.com 1) Open the SID file in the stand-alone viewer. Choose File - Export and select as destination for the TIF file the directory containing the MrSID file. The TIF file is significantly larger than the MrSID file but can be disposed of later. 2) Three files are created in the target drive. ·A TIF file. TIF files are usable in other image editing applications. ·A TWF file. Arcinfo uses this to automatically georegister TIF files. ·A TAB file. This is used by MapInfo to georegister the TIF file. 3) Delete the TIF file, unless you want it. The MrSID file contains the same information but is significantly smaller 4) Edit the TAB file in Notepad (or similar). Under the heading Definition Table There is the path to the TIF file. Edit this to point to the MrSID file instead. 5)Using the TAB file in MapInfo should now open the MrSID file with the correct co-ordiantes.

MI-L Rotating objects
Mapinfo allows me to draw rectangle, however the sides are always vertical/horizontal.

Re: MI-L EN to lat /long
Assuming we're talking OSGB eastings/northings: The OS web site has an online converter. There are also various tools available to do this, including an excel spreadsheet. Unfortunately I can't remember the web page it came from, but a google search should find it.
Re: MI-L Queries
You might be better doing this using thematics, where the symbol would change if the value of the field is altered. Alternatively, the queries can be mapped directly Select * from TMBC where status = "High" into High Add map layer High creates a temporary table called high & adds it to your map. This routine would eb added to the workspace & re-run each time the workspace is opened.

The resolution on screen will be ultimately limited to the resolution of the original photos - so if the feature is small (relative to the size of the photo and the sort of film used) you may never be able to see it accurately.

Re: [MI-L] old legend
I think I was the last person to ask this question: here's the answer I was given Hi Martin This is a long time hiccup of MI Pro. If you use the Thematic Legend the problem cannot be overcome. If you = print the layout page it will print OK, however in viewing in the layout = window or in saving as a JPG for example, the legend bottom will = disappear/not display. The workaround is to use the Cartographic Legend from the Map Window = with just the thematic layer in it and this will result in the entire = legend being displayed in the frame in the layout window. Hope this helps.

Re: [MI-L] DXF & DWG Import - Maintaining Layers & Minimizing Warp
Normal DWG files do not contain a projection. Generally they are drawn to scale, normal engineering drawings are likely to be in metres, millimetres, feet or inches. One way of turning a multi-layer DWG file into a single TAB is to first convert it to a DXF , then use MapInfo's Table > Import function to convert that. Hope this helps.

I too would appreciate help with DWG imports. Frank pretty much summed up all my problems too. Best regards, Mari Pitkäaho 2006/4/13, Frank Aaron (TX/EUS) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Hi All, Does anyone know of a way to maintain a DWG file so that it does not devolve into all of the miscellaneous layers when importing through MI 8's UT? Additionally, does a way exist to determine the projection that the drawing may have been saved when it was created with AutoCad? I do not have access to AutoCad but can use a viewer - did not know if any viewers allow for the determination of the file's projection if it does exist. If a projection was not associated with the DWG - what projection is recommended to use with a set of Geocoded Data (i.e., Radio Measurements collected with a Garmin GPS that was set to Long/Lat: WGS84) that will be overlaid on the map. I want to minimize the warping of the DWG file. Best regards, Frank Aaron, MSc.

Re: [MI-L] Line style problem
This can happen if some of the polygons are drawn clockwise and some anticlockwise. As far as I know, you'd need to convert the polygons to polylines, then reverse their direction.

The 'Save Window As' option is no good as I need to export a large area, and when I zoom in to street level (which is what I want to export), I obviously only see a small part of the large area I want to export. I'm using the UTM WGS84 projection and datum. What I'd like to do is specify an easting and northing and width and height, a zoom level (so I can choose street-level) and an output resolution. I might be asking for a lot, but how else can you export a street-level bitmap? The 'Save Window As' option is also limited to around 9,500 pixels in any dimension. Can anyone help me?
