RE: [MI-L] Distance calc mbx

Looking at the Distance Calculator source that comes with MapBasic 8.5, I notice that the Distance Calculator is merely a wrapper around a single call to a single statement you could type into the MapBasic window. Thus, only a future version of MapInfo Pro can add any significant optimization to t

RE: [MI-L] SV: Distance calc mbx

I have the same sluggishness problems with the Distance Calculator. Just running 20 or 50 or even 100 records takes way too long, IMO. Why should it take 10-20 minutes to do 100-200 records? Seems like it should work a lot quicker. -Evan MacDougall GIS Supervisor "Gentlemen, we may not make hi

or just use this statement: Set Table MYTABLE FastEdit On Undo Off Then MapInfo writes the changes directly to the files. Speeds things up dramatically, but you loose the Rollback posibility ;-) BTW, these suggestions require MapBasic and access to the source code behing DistanceCalcualtor Pe

Tom I remember swapping notes with Russell Lawley a year or more ago about this subject, and downloaded his "Qik_avlreader" tool.

[MI-L] GIS terminology; Was: MapInfo to Arcview with style intact

While discussing converting Mapinfo data to Arview... As the world becomes more familiar with GIS, it's obvious in my area that ESRI "appears" to be leading the way in that, everyone involved with GIS at the basic desktop use level refers to "shape" files when requesting any data. "Would like to

I am sorry, in my previous post I wrote about the ESRI *.lyr file. My mistake, I meant *.avl which was the legend file from ArcView 3. This is replaced today, as it seems by the *.style file. This file in turn is part of the ArcGIS workspace concept which is explained in this link http://webhelp.e

Sv: [MI-L] MapInfo to Arcview with style intact

Hi Tom! The shape file format is not designed to retain map styles (or coordinate system info for that matter). Therefore, it is not even in theory possible to transfer the native styles of MapInfo objects to a shape file. However, when ESRI discovered that people were using shape files for GIS
