MI-L Error opening workspace

Hello, I saved a workspace and ten minutes later it would not open again. It gives me the error message - 215) Invalid frame id 5. Can anyone give me any hints on how to open this workspace. Thanks Sarah Hooper GIS Traffic Technician Transport for London (020) 7941 4353

RE: MI-L Multiple Fonts in One Layer

Hello Ryan, Instead of labelling with a logo, why not set the point symbol itself to the logo? I think that more that one person has developed a tool which allows thematic map styles to be written back to objects in a table. However, please find attached a utility I developed a couple of years

MI-L MapInfo-L Attachements

Hello Bill, I've just e-mailed a message to a poster and the -L which had an attachment. The message included a note that people reading the message from the -L would not see the attachment, however, in the copy that came back to me as a subscriber, the attachment was intact. Has their been a

MI-L Recommend a Plotter

Please excuse me if this question is a repeat. We have clients that are wishing to know what is the best plotter to use with MapInfo Professional. Is there anyone out there have some strong views on this topic? James Harvie WNP Product Manager Marconi Wireless 1135 Innovation Drive Kanata, ON

RE: MI-L Recommend a Plotter

Out of all the plotters I have ever used from MapInfo Pro hands down my favorite is the HP Design Jet 1055CM by HP. It has all the things I really wanted from earlier plotters but that they didn't have like easy initial paper setup, great color and paper settings, huge memory for jobs, which you

RE: MI-L MapInfo-L Attachments

Looks like everyone got my attachment - thanks to those who replied. I'll wait for Bill's response to explain why! The other bizarre thing is that all my messages sent directly to Ryan Morgan at Aerials Express bounces back stating I'm spamming! So, the persons who the attachment was for didn't

MI-L MapX Question

I am using the Style.ExportSymbolSample(CLIPBOARD, miFormatBMP, Style.SymbolBitmapSize, Style.SymbolBitmapSize) method to put a bmp on the clipboard. The SymbolBitmapsize is set to 10. When I paste the bitmap I only get a small portion of the bitmap instead of the entire symbol shrunk to 10 x

RE: MI-L Recommend a Plotter

Our HP Design Jet 1050C is an absolute workhorse with extremely little maintenance cost (other than the paper and ink). It is easy to use and I've never (knock on wood) had problems with it and MI Pro... -Ross Bagwell GIS Manager Universal Access -Original Message- From: Canfield,

RE: MI-L Multiple Fonts in One Layer

Hello Mr. Vick, This is a wonderful tool, however it seems to assume only one font. I'm working with 38 fonts, each with 15-40 symbols. I could use this tool, but I would have to split the table into 38 smaller tables and choose the class for each one (something I was hoping to avoid.) Can

RE: MI-L Multiple Fonts in One Layer

Hi Ryan, No need for the Mr Vick formality here! If I have understood your requirement, it should work and you will not need to split your tables. For each brand, you can choose any symbol. MapInfo's symbol picker dialog will list all symbol-based fonts on your system (which should include your

RE: MI-L ESRI Shape File Translation

Greetings all! I apologize for not summarizing sooner... we've been a little busy at work going in four different directions and I finally have a chance to do a quick summary: I ran the UT on the shape files located on the network and had an error. I transferred the files locally (as Affie

Re: MI-L Universal Translator and/or Projection Issues with Texas data

Hello Jay, I believe what you got as the script for the .prj file maybe be different then what is required for the TxDot file. I believe the corrected version would be: Shackelford Conformal Conic(NAD27), 3,

RE: MI-L Multiple Fonts in One Layer

You can assign any symbol from any symbol font that exists on your machine. And you can edit these choices very easily in the table where you have saved them. Beware that there should not be any pending edits in the table that you want to change and that the table containing the symbol types must

MI-L MSI installer file with Group Policies

We're about to migrate to XP clients and W2K servers and want to deploy application software through Group Policies. We'd expect to be able to do this using the MapInfo supplied .msi file that ships with v7.0 and v7.5. However neither installs in this scenario, a fact that (according to our

RE: MI-L MapInfo-L Attachments

This does bring something to mind with regards to the MBX virus potential Not that I'd be worried about Warren, he's a regular. I'm speaking of MBX's in general, whereby the author is unknown or unfamiliar. The question is ... WITHOUT having an MBX decompiled... If an MBX is viewed with a text

RE: MI-L Multiple Fonts in One Layer

Hi Warren, Look at the following example: Name | Font | Logo| Quick-lube | 1| j | Lube-it-USA| 1| V | McDonald's | 24 | B | Unless I'm thick-headed, it looks like I can pick the font to be used in the above example, but only one logo for all of the logo values associated

RE: MI-L Multiple Fonts in One Layer

Thanks for chiming in, Jacques, If you mean manually going into the table and changing each symbol, I have to disagree about doing that easily. Especially if I have 6,000 points that need logos as either symbols or labels. Labels are preferred because 25% of the points do not have logos

RE: MI-L MapInfo-L Attachments

That is funny, I got it when you sent it to me. I checked with my IT director, and we don't have any kind of automated anti-spam, email routines. Did it bounce back from my account? Thanks, Ryan P.S. I was brave enough to try the utility can report that all is good in aerial-land (no

RE: MI-L ESRI Shape File Translation

Hi Ross, I have successfully translated .shp files without the .prj files. Seemed to me if you know the projection, this can be done. All of my objects were polygons, no points, lines, or text. Twilight Zone Music Ryan -Original Message- From: Bagwell, Ross [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: MI-L MapInfo-L Attachments

Showed up for me as well. I saved it, thinking that Warren was kind enough to CC me personally- since attachments don't show up on the list. But after reading Warren's second post I feel like I just got home from a hot date and forgot my raincoat. At least it wasn't from MapIntec! I agree that

RE: MI-L Universal Translator and/or Projection Issues with Texas data

Hi Jay The Universal translator is a different program then Mapinfo, it's just activated by an mbx... Whatever you add in Mapinfo Projection .prj file will not be included in Universal translator, but will be in the import function of Mapinfo only... The files for projection are in .DB in the

Re: MI-L MapInfo-L Attachments

The potential for a virus is everywhere. And unless you're really good at reading a binary file (not to mention one that is hashed) I can't see that you would be able to detect even one carefully crafted virus MBX. While searching for the obvious statements like Commit, Open File, Print, Put,

Re: MI-L Multiple Fonts in One Layer

Hi Ryan, Two thoughts about your issue: 1. It's possible to make a number of selections (queries), one per class, and include these as separate layers in your mapper with their own display and label properties. However, it's a dynamically setup, and not statically saved in a table. It should

RE: MI-L Multiple Fonts in One Layer

Hi Ryan, Let's assume that your fonts, as detailed below, are called Brand Font 1 and Brand Font 24. First check that their (real) names are listed in the MapInfo Symbol Picker font list. If they're not, and they're definitely installed, then they may not be flagged as a symbol font - this is

MI-L MapWorld / MacWorld

I've just been chatting with another -L'er about there being no MapWorld this year. It's usually a very enjoyable event which, despite me being in the wrong continent, is worth the travel effort. As for the reason why there is no event this year... discuss. Anyway, for those who will miss the

MI-L MapInfo job in Pittsburgh

I know most of the MapInfo-listers are MapInfo guru's and are likely out of our US$40 to mid 40's price range but if you know any experienced candidates interested in a career position within our strong growing company we need at least 2 quality people and I would appreciate any good referrals.

Re: MI-L MapWorld / MacWorld

Warren, I share your frustration! However, we could consider other options as well The Burning Man festival wrapped up about a month ago, and from what I hear, folks in that area aren't shy about hosting conferences. Perhaps we could strike up some corporate support and start the Burning

MI-L Lacking precision in a line vs points

Dear List, My sub, below, reads through a table and plots points and a line to create a graph. The points plot as expected. The line plots in courser stair steps, with several points at each bend, near the plotted points but never coinciding, rather than as a polyline passing through each

RE: MI-L MapWorld / MacWorld

My personal bet is there will be a get-together once 8.0/MapX.NET is at or very near release. Why? If there was an artifical delivery date at this time, i.e. a users community conference for say March 2004, then likely the Lets get it wrong on time pressure would likely prevail? As for the
