  • 1.  Creating polygons from an excel table

    Posted 05-22-2023 15:38

    Hi

    Does anyone know if it is possible to create polygons in Mapinfo (v15) using data from an Excel sheet which has the following form...


    ...so a row for each point of the polygon. Can I do this by importing the table into Mapinfo and using a tool or is further processing required first e.g. manipulating the data in the sheet to resemble wkt geometry?

    Thanks
    Chris

    Hi Chris

    MapCAD has a tool for this but it does require a few more columns - or at least one, the order.
    It has been described in this post by our support team: Creating Lines from a Table of Points in MapInfo Pro

    I have also attached Connect the Dots which allows you to convert a table of points to a polyline/polygon.
    Connect the Dots does require the records to have points so you will need to create points from the Eastings/Northings before running Connect the Dots.
