Shift Objects a set distance and at a specific angle in MapInfo
Video #91
In this video, I use MapInfo MapBasic Window to shift a polygon on the map a set distance and at a set angle. I also shift some text to demonstrate that it works on any object type - as long as the objects to be moved are the current selection.
In the video I:
Switch on the MapBasic Window
Use Note/Print to show it working
Select a polygon from the Battlefields layer
Type in:
Objects Move Angle 90 Distance 500 Units "m"
which shifts the selected polygon 500m North.
I do a few more examples, altering the angle and distance
-Use REVERT to rollback the Battlefields table (undo all edits)
Insert some TEXT into the Cosmetic layer and move it
You must have a current selection and the error message generated when you don't, is displayed in this video.
