Title: RE: [MI-L] Combining Intersecting regions in mapbasic
Boyd,
Could the problem be that you forget to delete the selected records ?
When you find more than one record that intersects with your new polygon, you need to delete all these but one, which is the one, that will hold the new object that is the combination of the other objects.
Something in this way:
'**Select records intersecting into INTERSECTING__RECORDS
Fetch First >From INTERSECTING__RECORDS
Do Until EOT(INTERSECTING__RECORDS)
nRowID = INTERSECTING__RECORDS.ROWID
oIntersect = INTERSECTING__RECORDS.OBJ
oCombined = Combine(oCombined, oIntersect)
If nFirstRowID = 0 Then
nFirstRowID = nRowID
Else
Delete From INTERSECTING__RECORDS Where ROWID = nRowID
End If
Fetch Next From INTERSECTING__RECORDS
Loop
Update INTERSECTING__RECORDS
Set OBJ = oCombined
Where ROWID = nFirstRowID
I think that should do it and it should also work only a single record intersects the newly drawn polygon

Subject: [MI-L] Combining Intersecting regions in mapbasic
I have a problem which is bugging me to death. I can get this about 80% of the way but it is just not quite right. Having had two previous great pieces of help from this forum, I am sure someone will point me in the right direction. - Please
I attempting, in map basic, to automaticaly have a newly drawn Region combine with an existing region without intervention on the part of the user when the two intersect. I am having no trouble with this using a combine statement along with intersect when the newly drawn region crosses over only one existing region, although I have problems when it crosses two or more existing regions. (Both existing regions comine with the newly drawn one, but the existing regions combined with the new one stay separate). I want all the intersecting regions to automatically combine.
In other words, we have a region which shows some burnt land, we then add an additonaly region of burnt land and the two combine together automatically. If there is two existing separate regions of burnt land and the user draws a new area which intersects both I want them to all to become one, this is where I have a problem.
Any sugestions on overcoming this
Cheers,
