Ang. [Mapinfo-l] MapInfo-L Blackout

Hi List! I'm all in favor of keeping this as a single list. I find it rather easy to scroll through the headings and determine which are of interest to me, the rest I simply erase. I think us users generally provides descriptive subject lines, so it works rather well. I can compare to the Bentle

Yep - new subject prefix as well. Some clevernobody has been tinkering. Beware all who are using e-mail filtering on the subject line. Mine ended up in the spamcan. Hälsning / Best regards Mats.E FB Engineering AB Södra Förstadsgatan 26 211 43 Malmö Tel: 040-660 25 50 Mo

Hi Julian! Make one yourself by saving any mapper or layout window to a jp2 file. You can crank up the resolution pretty much, of course depending on hardware. Hälsning / Best regards Mats.E FB Engineering AB Södra Förstadsgatan 26 211 43 Malmö Tel: 040-660 25 50 Mobil:

MI-L Ang. Re: FW: MI-L Layer Control (bottom/top)

Hi All! No, Morten, I would advise against that. A workspace with 1000 layers is not lightly tampered with. Especially if thematic mapping is involved. Remember that a workspace file keeps numbers, not names for each layer, and uses the layer number for the shade (thematic mapping) command. Thu

MI-L Ang. RE: MI-L Ang. RE: MI-L GeoDatabase convert to MapInfo?

e. Until a full function open spatial data format exists, vendors will no doubt continue to develop their own. I've noticed a few messages here recently that vilify ESRI but often the same issues are closer to home too. Regards, Warren Vick Europa Technologies Ltd. http://www.europa-tech.com

MI-L Ang. RE: MI-L GeoDatabase convert to MapInfo?

Hear, hear! Rant or not, Jim is right. I have seen this before, and ESRI was involved then as well (What I am about to describe may have changed now but was a fact when the question evolved) Some time ago, Bentley announced a collaboration with ESRI so that the MicroStation GIS add-on Geographi

MI-L Ang. MI-L More than one Undo

Hi Joe! You are the victim of a common and understandable misunderstanding. The number you believe you have set is not the number of undo steps but the number of undo objects, as in map objects. That is, set it to 10, delete 50 points and you can get 10 of them back with undo. Which 10? No way

MI-L Ang. MI-L RE: Ang. MI-L Advanced Labelling

Hi John! When you say 'points and regions combined into a single entry' I assume you mean 'a single table' as I know no way of combining points and regions to a multiple object. But they can coexist in one table, that is true. Incidentally, this is uncommon in the GIS world and I consider that
