MI-L orientation of regions

Hello, I work on the orientation of polygons in the space; I mean how some very irregulars archaeological objects are orientated on the floor (refferred to the North). For that, in my opinion, I think that I could find automatically, for each polygon : the nodes most spaced between them (in the sa

Hi Ravita, There is a tool that comes with MapInfo Pro, that does this. It's the Search and Replace Tool. Search for " Otista Raya " and Replace with "OtistaRaya" If you are looking for a way to remove all spaces inseide you text string, I guess you'll have to make your own function that does i
