I'm a transplanted CHEESEHEAD living in Arizona, but I grew up in Appleton, WI. I named my company after my favorite trout stream, the South Branch of the Oconto River. I think that I should rate higher than Mike in the new Mapinfo Users near Milwaukee WI club. Dan == South Br

Re: MI-L .e00 format

Hi Christine, Use Universal Translater found under the Tools menu. If you don't know the projection, you can usually open the .e00 file in a text editor, and then search for Proj. Projection parameters should be nearby. Dan == Daniel P. Laux Geologist South Branch Resource

Re: MI-L LABELLING

Hello Brandi, You can do it this way. Use the labeller.mbx on the full extent. Then zoom to correct scale, and change text size using the Options menu. For some reason, this will cause all of the text to shift. Now, select all of the text objects, and move all objects to correct position in

Re: MI-L Labeller.mbx Problem

Matt, Although extremely inelegant, the labeller.mbx route will do the job. The step you are missing is to select all of the correctly sized labels and move them as a group. I like to key in on a critical area before resizing so I have a better idea on where to reposition. Then it's trial an

Re: MI-L Labeller.mbx Problem

Matt, I'm sorry but I don't have any real bright ideas. Perhaps you could split the labels out into separate tables based on their characteristics and then reposition each table. And if Jacques Paris can't figure out a fix it may well be impossible. Dan

MI-L MI 4.5 and XP Pro

Season's Greetings to all in MapInfo-List land! I have a new Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop with Win XP Pro as the operating system. It chokes when I try to install my 4.5 version of MapInfo. Do I need to 'bite the bullet' and upgrade after many faithful years with 4.5? Also can I expect any add

Re: MI-L Does moving a label "divorce" it from Autolabel?

Hello Frank, I know that the same thing happens when you use 'clear cosmetic objects' command. The untouched autolabels are removed but not the labels that have been manually repositioned. Dan = Daniel P. Laux Geologist South Branch Resources LLC Apache Junction, AZ

Re: MI-L File Download

Hello Travis, First, open the file with a text editor (Word will work), and search for "proj" to determine the data's projection. In MI 7.5, use the universal translator under the Tools menu; for MI 4.5, use ArcLink under tools. Pick e00 for format and chose whether want to translate as MIF

MI-L spherical or cartesian coordinates?

Hello MapInfo Listers, With MI 7.5, distances can be measured using either spherical or cartesian coordinates. Which option should be used on USGS 7 1/2 minute quadrangle maps? I would guess spherical but I want to make sure I get it right. Which system did MI 4.5 use? Thanks, Dan ---
