MI-L Splitting polyline lengths at intersections

2005-04-07 Thread Ben Crane
Hi all, We have a NSG road network that someone has combined all the individual ESU lines into whole USRN's. This is causing umpteen problems and was wondering whether anyone out there had a utility that could split polylines on the basis on intersection points and keep the data associated with

Hi David Five possibilities I can think off. First one is are you packing the table after doing the thinning? A pack should make it smaller as it removes deleted records. When you thin record 1 it becomes say record 1211001 but record one stays there until the geometry block is again changed.

MI-L SUM: ESRI Grid Files

I've had a couple of enquiries about this, so thought I'd better sum the results. The question was how to get ESRI grid files into MapInfo. MI will not read ESRI grid files, nor other file formats such as ASCII text that ArcGIS can export, so another product is required. Vertical Mapper can

MI-L ESRI Grid Files - MI and VM differ?

It seems to me that the disturbing thing is the difference of 2.5 for Pt1 between the two lots of output quoted. Is this a centre of pixel vs top left of pixel difference? If so, what versions of the software are you using? And, has it been corrected in the latest (MI 7.8 / 8.0 / +) and VM? Ian
