Or you could change the SQL statement to take a unit as well: Select CartesianArea(Overlap(PolygonTable1.Obj, PolygonTable2.Obj), hectare) , PolygonTable1.ID, PolygonTable2.ID From PolygonTable1, PolygonTable2 Where PolygonTable1.Obj Intersects PolygonTable2.Obj Into a Noselect This also gives

MI-L raster labels

2004-11-17 Thread Jacques Paris
In the raster registration requester, each reference point can receive a label (by default it is pt1. pt2,...). In my old 6.5 , the custom labels are properly saved in the tab file but they are not reloaded in the registration requester. Is it the normal behaviour? Has it been changed since 6.5?

One of my clients had a similar situation. The informal answer is this: The people who own the data really have two concerns. 1. They want to make sure that you are not creating a situation in which people who would otherwise buy data from them, are getting it from you, without compensation.

They are many ways to do it. You could use the tools coordinate extractor. You could also make a copy of you table - create points using the create point command in NAD83 and save a copy as and specify then to make the copy in NAD 27 BE CAREFUL. Whatever techniques you use, if you are from
