RE: Importing ESRI XML

Seems to be a simple format. I think Excel kan import this as a table. Only problem is the Base64 encoded point. I am not sure how to handle this. You could write an Excel macro to expand the base64 and write the point x,y (longitude, latitude) to an x and y column. The Excel file can be imported in ...

This works, thanks. Only thing is the red values turn out blue. I found another way. If I double click the style to the left of the layer name in the Map (explorer tab) I get the Adjust Image Styles. In here, I can select a transparency color and click the blue color in the raster image, to make it ...

How can I insert null values in a Viewshed

Found In Egroup: MapInfo Pro \ view thread
When creating a viewshed, there is an option to insert null values in all cells outside the viewshed. But how can I insert null values in all the blue cells where the object is not visible from. The viewshed covers the background map. I can set the layer transparency to 50% to see the background map, ...

Would be great if MapInfo could read REST services. Especially the one from ArcGIS.

The Arc REST services work both as (kind of WMS) getting map images for a BBOX area and where you can download data directly (like WFS). Many public institutions in Denmark are now serving their data by Arc REST services. So would be cool if reading these were built into MapInfo just like WFS and WMS ...

RE: Can I open DWG file and save the same into KML/KMZ using MapInfo?

Use Universal Translator to create the MapInfo files. Then use the GELink tool in MapInfo to export to KML. The closest projection I can find is Universal Transverse Mercator (WGS 84) choose the Southern Hemisphere (WGS 84) [EPSG:32748]. This places the data on a river though, I am not sure it is ...

EasyLoader within MapInfo pro can upload any MapInfo table to Microsoft SQL server. The advantage of MS SQL is that a lot of other systems can read/write to the database. If you have software developers in your company they already know how to make applications that work with SQL server.

You should add index to the columns that you use to match values. This will make the Update Column run much faster.

Perhaps the DLL was created by a 32 bit application, and loading the DLL fails in 64 bit MapInfo?

We often export data to other system. To do this our .Net application usually exports to MIF and then reads from the MIF/MID files to handle the data. It would be a great help to be able to access data directly, and speed up things a lot (export to MIF and import from MIF does take some time, especially ...

Just as a side note. If you have two MapInfo installations, with the same EXE name you can also set the friendly name here: Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\MuiCache Find the REG_SZ string with the full path to the MapInfo EXE that ends with .FriendlyName. ...
