Re: MI Inserting nodes

Try my node_space.mbx - available at mapinfo-l shareware archive. This will insert nodes into a polyline object at an interval approximating a user specified distance. Its approximate because its optimized to produce even node spacing. More about that in the docs that are with it. I use it to

MI Mulitple node selection to create new ployline/polygon

Can anyone help me? I want to create a new ployline/polygon object from existing objects without having to snap to each and every node (in some instances there are hundreds). Is there a way of selecting the corners of the existing object and create new points along the new object that match

MI Joining tables

Re: MI Selecting Points and Polylines

Dear Agustin: "Intersects" works very well with polylines. You may create a buffer around your points, and write something like: Select * from MyBuffer, Polylines where obj Intersects Polylines..Obj into GonnaBeTransformed. Also, polylines do so have centroids. Sincerely, Sonya JCH GeoInfo
