RE: MI-L FromLeft, ToLeft, FromRight, ToRight and index

I don't think this will give you a better performace. When MapInfo is searching for a given adress it will start by finding the roads with the name given. Once this has happened, I gues you'll only have very few records lefts. And my guess is that a index on these column will not optimize this sear

MI-L FromLeft, ToLeft, FromRight, ToRight and index

I know that these fields doesn't have to be indexed but can I gain any performance when searching for addresses if I create index for them? /Jesper Jesper Nielsen B & M Systemutveckling AB Box 805 S - 75108 Uppsala Sweden Phone: +46 18 - 500 500 Fax:

RE: MI-L raster printing errors

If you are using MapInfo 6.5/7.0 (and maybe also 6.0) you have the ability to set how MapInfo should "help" to produce a better map. In Settings>Preferences>Output you can let MapInfo handle transparent raster and transparent vektor/symbols internally. If these options are turned on I have seen th

Re: MI-L calling sleep function

alige, You have to declare the winodws subroutine Then just call the sleep sub from your program the sleep subroutine uses milliseconds so 1000 = 1 second 60 * 1000 = 1 minute 5 * 6 = 5 minutes Code: Declare Sub Sleep LIB "kernel32" (byVal dwMilliseconds As Integer)

MI-L translucent layering

I would like to hear some feedback or suggestions about the following technique I have used to accomplish translucent layering: The way I have accomplished this is to turn off all layers except for the polygon layer(s) I want to overlay. Ill usually zoom the full extent of all the polygons. File

RE: MI-L raster printing errors

You're running out of memory. I have 1.5GB RAM and can only get a 45"X45" print to work. Try adding more memory, or, if you have the option, try printing within the computer instead of directly to the plotter. Good Luck! Ryan -Original Message- From: Jeff Card [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: MI-L raster printing errors

What plotter are you using? How much memory does your computer have? How big of a plot are you trying to create? Typically it's either memory, actual print size, or driver related. Ryan Morgan Aerials Express www.AerialsExpress.com -Original Message- From: Jeff Card [mailto:[EMAIL PRO

MI-L Random color changes.

I have a script for loading county based information into a map layer. When I open a new set of information, one or more of the previous layers change color and/or fill pattern. For example, lakes will change from a solid blue to a spotted green. This change is not universal. It will only af

I have a layer of aerial photography that does not print completely. All of the layers, both under and above, the aerial print but only half of the aerial prints. Anybody have an idea why this happens? Jeff Card Research/GIS Analyst The Weitzman Group (214)720-6612

MI-L RunCommand(102)

RunCommand(102) means opening a table. How do I specify where MapInfo should start looking for a TAB file? I would prefer to not going through the hassle of FileOpenDlg, open table, add map etc. TIA Uffe - List hosting provided

Re: MI-L Illustrator & Mapinfo

Hi Jeff, To create "better" quality maps from MapInfo, you may want to have a look at SVGMapMaker (www.dbxgeomatics.com ). Data is exported directly from your MapInfo Map Window into SVG. Before exporting, you can have SVGMapMaker add drop shadows, hill effects, out

RE: MI-L Illustrator & Mapinfo

Jeff, I think most people who create maps with Illustrator use a plug-in called MaPublisher, from Avenza, www.avenza.com. You can import data from MapInfo with all the attributes and geo-referencing intact and fully editable. Haven't used it myself but I think a lot of people who create maps with

MI-L Default zoom for rasters

Listers, Is there some text that I can put in a TAB header to make a raster layer open up at a default zoom scale rather than extents (its an unregistered image)? If I try typing "set map layer 1 default zoom" I am told that the layer is read-only but its not! Can anyone help? Thanks, Dave ---

Re: MI-L Running MIPro in DTS package on MS/SQL2000 ?

Lars, i dont think you can, even if you use the "Execute Process Task" within the DTS, anything that runs under the SQL scheduler does not interact with the desktop, i.e. so the mapinfow.exe will run as a process but you will not see anything. Also if you have SQL installed on a server, the proce

Re: SV: MI-L calling sleep function

First question, why? Do you need to wait for an application of functions/sub to finish processing before something else starts?? If so, might be better to setup a check loop to ensure the sub/function has finished it's business and the program can continue on it's course. Ben > Hi listers, > > I
