Re: Combing tables with MI

A simple way to combine tables is through the "append rows" function. You can use this to append any two tables of identical structure. This procedure would need to be repeated for each successive table to add and can therefore be somewhat time consuming. Table projection settings can be change

RE: MI Workspaces

Is there a way that you can switch this automatic printer setting off? It is a pain when you want to print for example a draft set of maps, then a final and maybe one set to images. You used to be able to just change your print settings for a whole run, and reprint. Now it resets the printer

RE: MI Joining two columns of one table

Alistair, You can use the Update Column command to join two columns together. In your case, first create an extra column through Table|Maintanence which is at least as big as the two columns you want to join together plus one. Now use the "Update Column" command to update the new column with an e

MI Y axis values on graph

I am trying to graph 2 variables in MI on the same graph. That is quite possible (in fact you can graph up to 4 variables) however I need to show two sets of values on two different Y axis, as the scale of one dataset is much greater than the other. This can be done in Excel, but I doesn't seem p

MI RE: If statements in label expressions

Roy, It's not possible to add "if" statements in the label expression, however sometimes you can rearrange the expression to have the same effect. For example, your case can be expressed as Chr$(Abs(Sgn(Asc(UCase$(Name))-84))*5+83) The column data is converted to upper case and to an ASCII cod

MI Workspaces

Hi All, Some of our clients use MI Proviewer to view our tables/workspaces. However MI Proviewer only accepts MI 5.0 workspaces or before, which is a problem given that we now have MI 5.5. My question is, can you in MI 5.5 save a workspace as a V5.0 workspace OR will MI Proviewer be updated to

RE: MI maximum qty of points

I regularly generate terrain file using more than 1 million points (I think 5 million was the largest), so there is no limit that I know of. Sounds like the file you created to add the points to had bounds that excluded the area where the points came from. Try saving the first file as another
