Hi Cameron, That is called Convex hull. I believe the more recent versions of MapInfo has that as a built-in function, otherwise you can find it in the free "toolbox for mapinfo" at our website. Kind regards Uffe Kousgaard www.routeware.dk - Original Message - From: "Cameron McGregor"

You should be able to query a point using SQL. Just use the Centroid(X) or Centroid(Y) functions in the WHERE clause. example: select * from points where Centroid(X) = 89 and Centroid(y) = 43 Ben Greenberg GIS Coordinator NAI MLG Commercial 262-797-9400 -Original Message- From: Tom H

You can do it manually or use saved profiles for transformation. By the way, you can use a raster with the registration from within the associated Mapinfo .tab file also... I like to use Autodesk map 3D to input Mapinfo files, clean them, add all kind of info to it and send it back in Mapinfo.
