Thanks to all who responded to my last request on Visual MapDev. It was
enlightening. I'd rather not put a summary of the responces to the list,
but will respond to anyone if they request info.

looking at the option of
On page 377 of the MapInfo 5.5 Users Guide the syntax is given for a

Firstly, What is the Tesselation Error? The manual ownly mentions how to fix
it and does not describe the problem.
Secondly, I've entered the workaround but on executing it in O

I have a file in the GSMCAD format (*.lsf and attendant files). I can

I received a glossy brochure for MAPublisher today and it looks quite
good. Are there many out there using it? Is it as good as it looks and

appreciated.

I try to write a MapBasic program that converts files from tab to e00
format. Something similar to Arclink.mbx but without the GUI. I've
been searching in the help files for MapInfo, and MapBasic but couldn't
find any function, or command-line program to do that. Any suggestion?
Thank you very
Colin,
I think I received a similar message, if not the same message. My
problem was with the Oracle 8i support option. In order for it to work,
you must have Oracle installed. So if you installed that option without
having Oracle 8i, uninstall the DBMS support, and then reinstall it
without t
Hello,
One solution to printing in landscape mode without user interaction is to
rotate your map by 90 degrees, rotate any labels, then print in portrait
mode. Label rotation is slow for maps with many labels, though.
Map rotation can be performed with the following VB code.

If the minimum bounding rectangle of each building is close in size to
the desired square\rectangle, you can use the MBR() function to create a
rectangle from the existing poylgon with the following:
Update Set obj = MBR(obj)
Hope it helps,

Milo,
Be sure to check the system preferences (Options menu) for the
Map Window. Reshape can be configured to move/not move overlapping nodes
from there.

Have you tried recompiling each module in the project? You may have modules
compiled with different versions of the Mapbasic compiler.

Gareth,
Yes, I bought the book. I found that it was not technically oriented at
all. Really was just a very broad look at GIS and what you can do with it.
Didn't really explain the concepts of GIS, nor was it imaginative in its
discussion of MI/GIS capabilities.

I have a TAB file named circles and can get a count of the TOTAL

Hi,
Does anybody know a way of packing tables in batch mode?
I have about 3 thousand to go through.
Also, are there any known problems with data integrity when
packing tables? I'd hate to pack everything and then find out 6

One reason at least;
DXF Headers are useful for importing multiple Autocad layers (from a single
DXF file) into different Mapinfo .TABs (I'm sure it's the Header section
that tells Mapinfo what layers to expect). - If you really want layer-name
as an attribute, import your DXF file int

Andy,
I gave up on Autocad at R13 so I haven't used R14 DXF files.
What I do know is that Autodesk started adding all sorts of extra sections
to DXF files in R13, with even
more in R14 (to do with transferring extra R13/R14 functionality via
DXF's).
Just to check the basics though, make sure
