[MI-L] Seamless layer tool

Hi List, Does anyone know of a tool that can create a seamless layer from 1000s of tab files? SEAMMGR.MBX can only stitch tabs loaded in MapInfo, and is no good for stitching 1000s of tabs. Really need a tool external to MapInfo perhaps. Tim ___

[MI-L] E-mailing TAB file sets

Hello all, I'm often sent MapInfo format TAB sets by e-mail. Most of the time, senders adhere to my request to ZIP up the TAB/DAT/MAP/ID/[IDX] sets but sometimes people simply attached all the files individually. I've noted that, at least on my e-mail client (Outlook), the MAP files always has a

[MI-L] Opening an Oracle table view in MapInfo -error

Hello! I have a TAB file pointing to a large Oracle table. Within Oracle I've created a subset View of the table. Is there a way a MapInfo Tab file can point to just the view rather than the original large Oracle table? I haven't had any luck. I have added the name of the view to the

[MI-L] Batch Production of Maps

Does anyone have any experience using MapShop or some other software for producing multiple maps in batches? What do you use or would recommend? What about cost? I've worked on my Crystal Reports issue regarding MI Pro. I've found out the following: MapInfo can work with the CR 8.5 version

Re: [MI-L]-Field Read Only

Hi Joe, A field can be made readonly for a number of reasons. Usually it's in connection with views or linked tables, or if all table files are readonly as when read from a CD. In a native dataset, the readonly property is usually given in the TAB file, either as a readonly tag with each

Re: [MI-L] Error opening workspace

Hi Don, It looks more like an error in line 21 of your workspace. Try opening it in notepad or another text editor, and find line 21. This error is often connected to label expressions. Did you remove or rename a column name in one of the tables used in the workspace ? Best regards / Med

[MI-L] MI-L Working With OS Raster Tiles

Hello All, I recently saw a great map which had been made showing the coverage of OS 1:10,000 raster tiles in London as a grid of square boundaries with the tile reference number (eg TQ17) labelled in the middle. It was under laid with a more sensible 1:50,000 base map. Seeing as I spend half my

Re: [MI-L] Batch Production of Maps

I have used easyplot from aligned assets in the past which did the job nicely... It was cheaper than trying to write my own scripts. Just highlight the records you want to batch in a table and press print, more or less. http://www.aligned-assets.co.uk/ I'm sure there are lots of other decent

[MI-L] Error opening workspace

Thanks to all for your fast replies. It seems that the number included with the error message is indeed the line number in the workspace. However I think that the first line workspace! is not counted. I tried Steve Smith's suggestion to add print statements to find the problem and was able to

[MI-L] MI Table/Create Points vs. MapBasic Create Point

Hi all The table / create point in MI is really fast (1.5 Million points in 30 seconds). However, the Create Point in MapBasic is like ten times slower. MapInfos' response is that it is a fact that the MB is lots slower. Nothing to do. However, some list memebr out there who cracked that? Thx.

Re: [MI-L] MI Table/Create Points vs. MapBasic Create Point

Hi Flavio, There was a thread quite a while back, where testing showed that using a MB compatiable version of MITAB was way faster than using MapBasic's internal routines. You might wanna give it a try. Best regards / Med venlig hilsen Lars Nielsen GisPro Flavio Hendry wrote: Hi all

Flavio, Maybe using the magic syntax Set Table ... FastEdit On Undo Off might put some speed into MapBasic. Another thing: you write Create Point but don't you really mean CreatePoint() ? I think this would be pretty fast: Set Table TableOfPoints FastEdit

Re: [MI-L] Opening an Oracle table view in MapInfo -error

Hi Peter, MapInfo has a rather unhealthy dependence upon the field name MI_PRINX as the single numeric primary key field for all Oracle Spatial tables. The assumption that this field exists and is the primary key field in all cases causes some odd behaviour - especially with views - and this may

That's what I figured, their response was that since you cant create a stand alone application it isnt real programming i.e. software development. A good example is MapXtreme compared to MapBasic, one you can create an external unique application, the other you cant. Which brings me to another
