Is there a facility I'm missing that allows the combination of multiple joining polylines to be combined in to one object but with only one section.
If the lines to join are positioned say East-West, West-East, East-West. West-East, then using the 'objects combine' procedure results in a polyline of multiple sections and when you label the nodes the sections are still in different directions. This can mean that node 1 of section 1 is not at the start of the line but part way along the line.
I've got MB code to loop though lines and join them individually depending upon how they join but when your trying to join a large number of lines this can take time. Could there be an option to allow MapInfo to do the processing and the resulting polyline have one section. So in this case the node count would start in the East and finish at the western end of the line.
Cheers
